Alright, I've had a sook about Saturday's loss, now time for cautious optimism.
- We scored 30 points in a final, that's usually enough to win any game but...
- Our defence sucked, but it won't suck again. We've rarely had a bad defensive game this year, doubt it happens twice in a row.
- Speaking of, we haven't lost two in a row all year.
- Kennedy, Rudolf and Finucane were rusty but showed good signs in their first games back. They'll improve this week.
- We had a rough night but so did Souths. Frankly they've had a couple of bruising encounters and probably won't be as tough as the Cowboys.
- Even if Burgess isn't suspended, the guy's an idiot. He won us the game last time with his brain snaps.
And finally, we've exceeded most people's expectations this year. I want to go further but who knows, maybe we need another year under the belt. But that's loser talk. We'll win this weekend.
