Belief.
One word that will make a huge difference between looking towards the "future" in a months time or looking back and saying wow what a year.
Believe it or not this IS our best chance to win a flag since 05/06. We're coming into the finals with 4 straight wins. The only other time we've done this is 05. We have finished 5th. with 4 recent wins against top 8 sides one being top 4. We have the most respected coach and player in the game retiring to spur us on if you ever needed more motivation than playing finals.
Midway through 05 we were thinking about the "Future"
After the WCE loss in the qualifying final we were thinking "we've blown it"
10 minutes into the last quarter of the geelong game, almost 4 goals down having kicked 3 all night we were saying "ah well this is good experience for the young lads"
3 quarter time in the prelim 7 points down against the saints, were you all "happy" to have made a prelim?
Last quarter of the grand final we were trailing, doubt creeping in again.
When you look back it's easy to think that we were always a chance that year. HOWEVER at the time just like now, so many didn't believe. There was so many moments that would have been easy to look towards next year and reason with yourself..."We're only going to lose jason ball we should still be up here for a few years." Thank @@@@ing god the players didn't think like that. They acted in the moment, they were hungry, they believed and they won.
I recall reading an article by Kennelly at the beginning of the year. simply he stated that this is NOT a rebuilding year. That we ARE a great team and the players just needed to start believing it.
Right now..as it stands we have a good opportunity to win another flag. WE WIN THE NEXT FOUR GAMES AND WE HAVE WON THE PREMIERSHIP, challenging but achievable. Crows did it in 98. 5 years has already been too long to wait.
I for one believe we can take it home this year. Do you?
