          He didn't say anything of concern. What do you want a player to say?

          Rather see a player being confident than the other way around.

            His comments on depth is exactly what I was thinking is so different this season.We either wisely or through chance blooded enough players last season to have a bunch of guys in the Two's who can come up to cover injuries.I always thought last year was a rebuilding year and this year we could give it a real shake. Regardless of the Melbourne game the season won't hang on the result.the season will hang on how well we play every week and the quality of the team each week.Having good reserves means we can always field a quality side and win more than we lose. With a bit of good luck we could give it a shake this year.

              Maybe you are not confident enough.

                Completely agree! I also think the mixture we have between youth and experience is just about right. Add the excitement factor of players like Jetta, Rohan, Hanners etc and you have a season high on promise.

                  We gotta stop agreeing!

                        Dont you just love the unbridled optimism of a new season !!!!

                        How can we be so good when the likes of Bevan , mattner, moore, white and richards are likely to be in the 22 on the weekend. I think Ive heard before that its not your best five players that necessarily win it for you, its the strength of your worst five. Based on that we are cactus according to many on this site with these perennial whipping boys in our team.

                            I beg to differ, we should always agree.
                            I knew him as a gentle young man, I cannot say for sure the reasons for his decline
                            We watched him fade before our very eyes, and years before his time

                              If they're our worst 5 I am so much more confident about this season. 4 out of the 5 are very experienced players whilst White is a very talented individual who may further develop into a top player. Compared to many other teams these guys stack up pretty well in my book.

                                It's no so much lacking in confidence, just general wariness. I remember another occasion a couple of seasons ago when O'Keefe was quoted as saying the team had "belief"...and we promptly lost the following game.
