Hopefully that changes early on in the real stuff and we don't eventually get demoralised by losing games we could have/should have won, as we have so often in past years. I'm excited by the new, but not very confident that we can yet beat such a hard professional outfit as the Tigers. We'll have to show a lot more poise and maturity, as well as talent and skills than we have so far imo. However, fingers crossed, and that's about as optimistic as I can be at the moment.
People don’t really talk up how good a team that mob is. They have won 3 of the last 4 flags. Very hard having them to start every year off with in this era and when we are below our best personnel wise makes a tough task close to impossible.
But we can’t keep making excuses and this is our year to make a big move so I know we must take scalps but feel this one is too hard too soon.
I will be surprised if we get within 5 goals.
