Crunch game

Post by afisher »

Last night on talking footy they were referring to the "Crunch game", now I guess we could label any game when were in the middle of the pack a crunch game, but I really feel this is the one to set us up for the year.
1. We only play the dees once and they look to be competing for a 6 to 8th spot. (the 8 point game)
2. We need to avoid a run of losses
3. We need to bury this June Hoodoo bullsh*t
4. We need to win without Bucks to show , not just ourselves , but those outside the club, that we have a unit that has the depth to justify our rise up the ladder.

The other interesting point that was raised was the physical targeting of Josh by the opposition, It then becomes crucial for McKee to return to both take on the ruck duties and fly the flag a little more for Fraser. Perhaps this point has been missed by those who would choose rate McKee along with Dale Woodhall as a over rated and temporary part Maggie team. For me I think McKee has it to give us balance in the middle.

mmmmmm
not a bad analysis i say !!!
the hard work to make the 8 is still a head of us, but hopefully that major hurdle of "SELF BELIEF" has been covered, and we can start to consolidate.
we, the team and supporters , deserve as much
now lets tear into the eagles
