Ok so we have witnessed probably our best win against the Crows, then copped a belting under sufferance the next two.
Many of our Members have quesioned our chances and everyone from the Media to the waterboy for Broome thirds have jumped off us. So where do we stand????
Now we get back to Melbourne and play the Bombers (which were in the 70s FSI) so we will get our winning ways back.
First Final: We meet the Pies and without Cooney (maybe) but we will be back to hard tough football because the last of the virus that has spread through us has just about vacated. But in saying that we will most likely go down by 5 - 6 goals and walk away most importantly unscathed.
More importantly Geelong will face the Saints without Pods and with the Tomahawk playing like poo. They will not be able to rely on Ablett playing forward and therfore giving to much away to the Saints and end up losing.
Then we will most probably (hoping) get Freo or the Swans in Melbourne and winning easily and fine tuning our team with Cooney and the boys finally rid of anything holding us back health wise.
Then comes the dreaded Prelim. But our best chance of making the Grand Final. The one Matchup that we can take on with confidence....The Saints.
I have absolutely no doubt what so ever if we meet the Saints in the Prelim we can and WILL beat them. They wont have the luxuary of dropping players back to the Reserves to get miles into their legs. We matchup well and by the time we meet them our team will be much different than the one we have witnessed in August.
So all woofers shoot me down as you wish but this is my plan for now and September let the world Jump off us we will only be lighter and let all the weight be on the Pies and Cats. As Bart says even Weight will stop a train.

If it was just August, I might feel differently, but we've been so up and down this year it hasn't given me any September confidence. Coons going down just compounds issues, IMO. As much as it pains me to say it, Nick the Diver seems to be hitting his straps at the right time, and we blew it last time against the Aints.
