    Re: 2021 AFL Finals Series

    - Cats don’t have Stewart and feel a bit runners up/prelim ceiling
    - Definitely still have doubts w Power vs the best.
    - Dees. It’s finals and they are unknown
    - Lions sneaked into 4 but they haven’t gone long patches looking good

    Not saying we will go far, just it’s very open.

    100% which makes our capitulation even more disappointing.
    Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

    That’s the real kicker.

    Oh for sure, I’m with you on the disappointment. But still, even here, if we are good enough…

    You can get a new sense of confidence. We win, QF loser becomes in our shoes a bit.


    Like I said, I’m oddly not confident but this week but quite confident we can win flag if we do win.

    I think part of it, without wanting to sound like a psychologist, is giving up hope is the easiest thing to do now. Caring has been brutal the last few weeks.

    Basically I think we are like 40-45% chance of winning Sunday + 10% chance of flag.

    Re: 2021 AFL Finals Series

    I just have a feeling we just need a bit of luck to swing things to the point that confidence lifts…a Weightman screamer in the goal square, a JJ run down and tackle on stringer, a Naughton goal from the boundary on his wrong side…just something…anything, that the team can go whoah…that’s us…we can do that, we can do ANYTHING…we can BE ANYTHING !!!!

    As much as it’s a team game, it’s also going to take some individual brilliance.

    What are we here for ?
    What do we play for ?
    What do we want to be remembered for?

    3 games from being at the big dance.
    I will never see #16 the same!!

    Haha…I’ve been down and out like all of us over the last 3 weeks Rocco, but that’s nothing to what my Woofers in Vic and NSW are going through with lockdown. Add the footy on top of that and it’s inconsolable.

    I know what we are capable of. I’ve seen it. We’ve all seen it.

    Hope is more than just a 4 letter word. As long as we are running out there, there’s HOPE.

    It’s ok for us to feel apprehensive.
    It’s ok for us to feel dejected.
    It’s ok for us to feel anything. We are all human after all.

    No, I’m not on drugs…this week I’m looking through different eyes..a different perspective…a NEW HOPE.

    Oh this has 100% been me since ‘97. Pretty sure my trust issues in life stem from this event.
