I think we are clearly the flag favourites and have the best allround balanced side |

The rest of the comp is truly scared of us now and all the good teams have injuries which we do not _________________ Always take time to smell the sweet scent of the roses. |

If things keep falling into place we should win but I am not prepared to put money on it there is still a long way to go. September is a different month altogether. _________________ If only we could turn back time! |

There is a long long long way to go. First time round we LOST to Sydney, LOST to Brisbane, LOST to Essendon and beat the Crows after the siren. Those four games will show us whether and by how much we have improved. I have no doubt that players like Licuria, Fraser and Holland have come on leaps and bounds since then. However the proof will be in the pudding so to speak.
Beating Richmond is all well and good but Richmond are crap. We need to beat a quality side to improve our credentials.

Quote: | The rest of the comp is truly scared of us now and all the good teams have injuries which we do not | - The rest of the comp will treat us with the respect that we deserve or suffer the consequences - a lesson that you could well learn.
Quote: | I have tipped us to win the flag it is a matter of how much by | - Nothing wrong with a bit of blind optimism, but it is blind.
Sorry Miranda and all your other personalities, but all we've proven so far is that we are likely to peak at the right time of the season and that we are contenders. We have not yet shown that we can mix it with those above us when it counts - let's have it one week at a time.... and let's have you one username at a time. |

sure i believe we can win all the remaining games of the year but we are coming against quality opposition in the next couple of weeks with the likes of Brisbane Essendon Sydney and Adelaide but like Mike said above we have to take it one week at a time, we cant put too much expectation on the team |

Let's settle down a bit, but you'd have to say the signs are good though.
In contrast to last year, we're coming into some great form towards the end of the home and away season. I think we should get a top 4 spot, which would equal last year's effort.
I see the Sydney and Essendon games as the real tests for us. To beat Sydney at Telstra Stadium and then Essendon at the G the following week would give enormous momentum going into the finals. Compare that to the way we finished last year.
Keep a little bit of a lid on it though! ![Wink](images/smiles/icon_wink.gif) |

carlton and geelong are the sides that are very beatable but they have proven that they can knock off top sides in the comp. If we travel along the way we have and keep our confidence we will surely have a top 4 finish. Sydney in Telstra Stadium is a huge test for us, because we will likely have to play a final away probably in S.A so this is good pressured pratice for our young guns. As mike said we have peaked at the right time and must keep our peaked performance running for the rest of the season and more so in September. |

Still a very long way to go before we can even consider the last Saturday in September..I think we should just get over the next few games. |

Miranda/nicholas/whoever/whatever, multiple usernames, although not against the rules here, are deleted if a user uses them to carry on a conversation with him/her/itself or to support another one of the user's personalities in a debate.
Considering that all the usernames up to, but not including, Tessa's, are yours and you have used them to create and carry on a topic (ridiculous one at that) totally by yourself, the excess names will be deleted. If you would like to keep one of the names please post in the General Feedback forum or email the moderators at bbmods@magpies.net with your preference. If you have not chosen a name by 10:00pm tonight (21/7) all 7 of them will be deleted - including the two that you haven't used today.
This topic will also be removed at that time.
