Good morning everyone,
I do love the smell of the linament in the morning, the feel of the Sherrin, the reading of monday's papers about how my team has gone over the weekend, so along with that time of year comes the inevitable expectation setting........
Last year I posted after the NAB cup win how in my mind (and not others who clearly disagreed with me link:
http://www.woof.net.au/forum/showthr...?t=7060&page=1 ) how I thought we were getting ahead of ourselves.
So its time to sit down and think about this year, what does this year hold for us? where do we see ourselves realistically finishing? considering all the factors, both internally at the club and the list etc. and externally in what our competition is doing.
And whilst I am the eternal pessimist, I realistically cannot see the pickup of 5-10% that is needed to get over the black and white swine.
I personally think we are capable of getting to the big dance, but winning it, thats a different proposition.
So my prediction is finishing 2nd, and I have to say, I would be stoked to at least make it once in my lifetime.
So more importantly reflecting back on last years thread, will I still book my overseas holiday for grand final week? hell yes, because at least then I can be one of the whining idiots who ring up the radio and complain how they are stuck in the Tahiti and cant get it on TV.
