To me it confirmed that we are not that far away. Hear me out.
1. Dees are unbeaten this year, so losing to them is no shame
2. Dees defence has kept opposition sides to an average of 61 points for so far this season. We exceeded that, with Harry having 1 arm, injuries to probably 4 other starting forwards (Martin, Fisher, Curnow, Silvagni) and did so mainly in pouring rain.
3. We played poorly, but still only lost by less than 5 goals. We have a knack of doing this...staying in games. What happens when we get players back and start to click.
4. We are doing all of the above with Cripps being a liability. Previously its been solely because of Cripps.
So.....with all the negative about us, injuries, playing poorly etc etc....we simply will not die, will not go away. What happens when we shed some of that negativity? What happens when we can pick a side that we want to pick, not a side that is thrust upon us because of injuries.
We are 1 step away from winning ugly. Thats when teams rocket up the ladder. If you play poorly and win.
Krudd,
I respectfully ask that you stop been so positive and thoughtful on your assessment of the state of our beloved club. I like some of the other members of this forum do not have the foresight, knowledge or positivity to see the good or the light at the end of the tunnel like your good self.
I am a mere mortal and personally after the last 20 years of crap and promises that our club has dished out i feel, after another almost win, a sense of disappointment, blackness and frustration on, why am I doing this to myself, until I read your posts. And then I think about what you say and I can see the light again. Its dazzling and bright, and I can almost touch it, its just out of reach and I'm stretching to reach it, and this is where the problem is, its killing me!!!
So please stop seeing all the good about the state of our club and let me wallow in my self pity and darkness that has enveloped me over the last 20 years so that I can stop hoping to see our club rise to the top of the ladder, play finals and add another premiership to our trophy cabinet at the good ship Princess Park. Have a heart and think of what your doing to me.
