Clearly defending our premiership and the right to be called Premiers again.

We simply become a former premiersip side if we lose this week or the following week. So surely we are defending our premiership? because we want the club to continue being the premiers? We are defending the status we have held all year.

so no-one won the 2002 and 2003 premierships? i wonder if the cups are available on ebay?
i think there are two ways you can look at it - 1. you win individual premierships and 2. you defend your status as reigning premiers.
these aren't mutually exclusive and if the team wants to focus on the former so as to reduce the anxiety and presure of expectation then good on them. the way it's phrased, now that i re-read it, does sound a little forced and cheesy, but it sounds like a classic psychological strategy and i hope it works.

I want someone to come out and say that we are taking it one premiership at a time.
