Can almost already see the first few minutes of the Cats game unfolding, we will come out all fired up but at our clumsy best. I bet we give away a stupid free at the centre bounce and within seconds a goal to the Cats will result. Then due to a skill error we will gift another one and at that point it will be like a kick in the guts to team morale and the Cats suddenly get back their mojo, all the talk of this week will amount to nothing. Don't like being pessimistic but how many times have we heard all this clap trap before only for it all to fall in big heap the next week. Add to this the fact that Hardwick's favourites get a game week in week without consistent performances means that supporters just get sick of all the smoke and mirrors.
I agree on much of the above Lozza other than I think we'll get the first goal possibly the first two, we'll miss a few easy ones including another Cotch set shot miss from 35 metres. Then Selwood will snag a captains goal, Hawkins will get another one immediately, Stevie J will show why he should never ever be the sub then slowly but surely the familiarity of result will ensue with all of our main protagonists at their average and below average best.
