Most important game in our recent history was last year, a Sunday in September and it didn't quite go to plan
With our reliance on other teams results being so important we are unlikely to make finals this year.
So this Friday night is a game that we need to be competitive in on the big Friday night stage, result will be what it will be depending on which Richmond turns up
Disagree with the first point WP. To you, me and the average Joe it was a massive day, but I dont believe it was the biggest game psychologically bc to be frank, we were just happy being there. Given our recent history of failure, atm just making finals is the goal, winning them would be great, but I think the clubs aim is to just get there with some sort of regularity first.
I agree we are unlikely to make it, this isnt a thread just hoping we make finals if things fall into place - that's not the main point Im trying to convey - what Im trying to emphasise is that we've been given another shot to play some meanignful games at the business end of the season, how the team responds should give us a pretty honest view of whther they have progressed at all from a psychological perspective.
If they fail miserably this week then its same ol same ol, if we win and then back up against the crows I will see it as a clear sign the group/club is maturing mentally.
