Regardless of the result on Friday Night ...

In fact I don't think we played so badly in the first half. The first two goals to North were a donation, while our lead-up work was good enough but our finishing was horrid. Take out the donations and add a couple of very gettable conversions and we would be describing the first half in very different terms.
Having said all that, I think the Cats would go in against us with a lot of confidence.

Yup, first half could have easily been much better. I saw passages of really good play that didn't result in a goal, but I guess some would say that's bad football.

Is that you Blighty?

I'll never forgive the Saints.....................

No, but I was thinking after the umpteenth backman to O'Keefe, O'Keefe to Hall that regardless of how effective it was, it was very one dimensional and anyone other than North would have a much better chance of shutting it down.

We really need Kennelly to fire up and run through the middle a bit more.

I've got my pessmists hat on this week after talking myself out of going down to Melb. on Fri, and for which my oldest son now also has the @@@@s

Let's defeat the Dogs first, then worry about the Cats.

Hmm, the above sounds like a raid on a council pound than our upcoming finals opponents.

Personally, I think that us not winning on Friday will be a disappointment. Another wasted season.

IMHO, credibility is when you reach a preliminary final. Get to the prelim and you can comfortably say that you were a contender. Anything else are merely the "also rans"
