    Our inspiration - Where will it come from?

    From listening to all the press conferences and interviews and reading all the articles I have concluded that we have a very flat group at the moment. I therefore beg the question where will our inspiration come from tomorrow night?

    What I mean is which player will make a stand for the team. Which one player will have the attitude of, "Boys just jump on my back cause I'm taking us to a PF".

    Do we have one player who can do this? Other teams do, when Geelong were struggling in the PF last year Gary Ablett almost carried them over the line, Hodge lifted last week for the Hawks, we've all see Hird, Carey and the sort do it over the years.

    But do we have someone wearing the red, white and blue who will take the added responsibility of lifting us tomorrow night, because at present all I can see are a bunch of very flat player's who if they get a few goals down early will probably hold like a pack of cards.

    I'm putting the call out to Adam Cooney to lift this club cause we ****ing need you to. You're our best player so get out there and carry our team over the line. Show us some passion, show us you care, show us some aggression. If the Sydney players are giving you the shits get mad, start a fight, do something.

    It's time for you to make a stand, over to you Adam.

    We've got a lot of players that ALMOST fit the bill.
    Hahn. Inspiring but not skilled enough.
    Murphy. Sparkling but lacks the frame to really lead the troops.
    Johnno of course, but I hate to say it. He's starting to look old.
    Aker could if he isn't playing in a %#@%&$* back pocket.
    Cross. Courageous but not inspiring in an Ablettesque way. (goals, thrilling runs etc)

    Griffen. He's the man for me. Breathtaking runs. Long goals. Breaking tackles.
    He plays like a thoroughbred born for the big stage and the big moment.
    Maybe he will come of age and "arrive".

    Cooney could to it too, I agree.

    Imagine if they both do it. I will cry tears of joy

      It doesnt need ONE player to do it...it needs 22 players to do it.

      There should be 22 LEADERS out there, battling for eachother and playing for eachother. Footy is a TEAM sport....play like it.
      I will never see #16 the same!!

        The inspiration should come from the fact that we got flogged on the biggest stage of all in front of millions of people!! If that can't give the boys some reason to fire up I'm not sure what can??

            It's like a Kiss concert. It's a group effort.

                  Get me in the rooms before the game and if they dont come out firing, they never will.

                    My first natural reaction was Johnson but i don't see it happening like it used to.

                    Then Cooney was the next thought and while he can do it i have a feeling if someone does it it may be Griff. It could a Brock McLean style, here I am I'm a future, star game. A 30 possie game would be enough for mine and probably his first haul of 30+.

                    Can just imagine Sydney trying to clog it up and Griff ripping it to shreds.

                      Griff's a natural leader....he was captian of SA in the u18's IIRC.

                        Re: Our inspiration - Where will it come from?

                        My first thoughts for inspiration were Murphy and Hahn.

                        All that bollocks about having to wait for a final as long as they did, and they froze.

                        This week I want them to go out and show the football world what finals football means to them. Grab the game by the scruff of the neck, and in Mitch's case grab a couple of defenders by the scruff of the neck, and do some justice to the build-up that record created.

                          And if all else fails, get Pacino to fire them up.

                            And if that one fails we could always give this one a go.

                              Pulling on the Red, White and Blue in a semi final should be inspiration enough!
