I am thinking that in the light of near hysterical fear gripping many posters both here and in the twittershere etc, it is a good time to reflect on form running into the finals.
Lets take a look at Port last year. About round 14 they ran into a similar slump that Freo are now having. They lost some key players to injury and lacked intensity on game day. The major difference between us and them is that they dropped games and ladder position. They turned that form around a couple of games outside finals and were unlucky not to beat the Hawks and play in a GF.
We have managed to get through our slump with only two losses whilst holding on to number one spot. Our injured chaps will all soon be available and we have become more attacking in the last two weeks. We will enter the finals a far stronger team than we are now hitting our straps ready to tear the hearts out of anyone silly enough to cross our path.
A corner has been turned....
