With only the following being more of a worry.
Adelaide in Adelaide
GWS @ Etihad or up on their paddock
We will still cop some hidings, it is a fact of where we are at present and it is still quite possible to drop the heads and get run off our feet to the tune of 100 points, it is a reality when a good team is one fire.
We can beat the Saints, they are not the best team in the comp, but they will be extremely hard to beat on a fast surface and I tend to think they will win this by 7+ goals.
If we keep it respectable, if we do get within 4 goals (or win), it will be a massive effort.
Beating Essendon and Collingwood is GREAT as a supporter, but knocking off the Saints @ Etihad, with the way we play would say far more about where we are as a club imo
These are my sentiments too. This is about education for our younger guys and will certainly test our resolve. Haven't been able to go to the last two games but I will be there this week cheering them on. Looking forward to it AND it's on Sat arvo.
Reality always wins in the end.
