Well if the Swans can push the Saints to the limit, maybe we could do the same to the Cats.
It does seem they are struggling a bit at the moment, surely our intensity will lift playing a better side.
There is no reason why we can't get over the cats...I reckon we forget about them and play our running attacking game the one we have been playing after half time recently. Why are we so flat early in games? Why are we so defensive? Why don't we take the game on when it's there to be won?
Why do we take what seems to be a very careful wait and see what happens approach? Is it that our opponents come out firing and catch us off guard and we just try and hang in there until the fire has gone out of the game? So many questions...would love to know the answers because I look at our list and it impresses me...we have great potential but seem to be lacking the direction and co-ordination that would bring it all together. I truly cannot find a system of play that we work within...I've tried but I just can't see it. Maybe the Cats can't see it either and we catch them off guard...
Geelong do not intimidate me as an opponent...if we play to half our potential we will match them....we no longer need to be held back...what we need is to be let loose. The time to be playing within ourselves has passed...it's time to play consistent relentless football...its early August and we have a sniff of some Spring action...we were made for this time of the year...its who we are as a footy club...this week is a landmark game IMO....nobody gives us a chance...no-one expects us to win...no-one knows what we are trying to do out there...the confusion is tantalising...the stage is set for some clarity once and for all.
Agree.
Doubt it will happen, but we do have the talent to, and we have played that way in little bursts through the year, so if we can put a whole match together......
