'94, '96, '98, 2000, 2014- here we go again
« on: August 24, 2014, 08:17:58 PM »
Well here we are, again.

'94 - thrashed by the Cats
'96 - the Roos
'98 - to the Demons
2000 - smashed by the Blues and we lost 2nd last round by a point to the Swans.

We've only got the Swans next week, what could possibly go wrong.   ;D

Should win

Easy(er) ground
Sydney got no incentive to win
We ha e a good enough list to field a half decent side if we so choose

Etc

We don't actually need to win  ;D

A draw gets us in, let's keep it simple  :clapping

Absolutely get a result any result that gives us premiership points and we are there.

ANZ may suit us too. Big ground similar to the MCG.

Hopefully this is 2001....beat an Essendon team ( who had nothing to play for) in round 22 .
Then we had a rest first week of the finals - then came out and beat the old foe in the semi final.

And another rest for 12 years. ;D

Hoping Ground will suit us more than SCG.

Dodgy surface as well so hopefully the swans won't risk players with niggles.

They wont want to risk suspension either so we need to play hard.

Put Vickery in and tell him to go for it.

 :lol
Yeah we're already going to vote for him mate, you don't need to keep selling it.....

I see the Hun are doing a nice job building the expectations up for Tiger fans.
This is one game I hope we can prove everyone wrong....

TM did a thread about us winning crunch games, perhaps before the Bombers game?

Well, here is a genuine real deal crunch game for the players, coach and club.

For me, this would go a long way to breaking the curse.

It would certainly cancel out the poor first half of the season.
It's that simple Spud
