I'm hearing you clearly. No other team I hate more!!

me too, with extreme prejudice

Yeah RB, lookin' for an another "Easy" out, are you.

Alway's happy to take the simplest path and then pretend that all is well....................and what would beating Carlton without Judd mean exactly Mate ????

That we are Premiership material ????

Typical, no foresight outlook...............That's the type of thinking that has this Club in the situation it is in.............False sense of Security and let's worry about Tomorrow next week.

To be the Best Rainsy, one has to beat the Best..................a Win underv false pretences, does nothing for our long term future, why is that so hard to see ?????

I take your point Frosty, and to a degree you are right a win against an opposition without injuries would be very satisfying and great.

But this is a bit of a simplistic way to look at it in my view, in footy there are too many variables that happen each week such as suspensions, injuries, poor form, new players, rookies, droppings and so on.

If you were talking about Geelong or Sydney then you are right, they play the same teams just about each week, and if you could beat them, hey that would be huge. As for the other teams, we can only play against and beat whoever they field, and if some players are missing then it is not our fault, and it also works in reverse they wouldn't have mercy on us if we had a few out.

On your final point you are correct, you do have to beat the best to be the best. You can't avoid playing good teams and should not worry or avoid them also, this is important for development for any young side.

Cheers ;D
