18 months ago we led a grand final by 3 goals at half time, so I'm not sure the claim "we haven't been a genuine flag threat" is entirely accurate.Did anyone else cringe a little at CS's post game comments, repeating his mantra that we're a club that can look players in the eye and say we'll give you a chance of winning the flag, and the signs are that it will be the same this year? First of all, it's Rd 1.. it's getting ahead of ourselves big time if we think we're a decent chance of a flag after 1 game against an opposition which were far from their best. Secondly, there's growing evidence that we haven't been a genuine flag threat despite finishing top 4 many years. Thirdly, and most importantly, it's the players themselves that give the club a chance of a flag, not the other way around. The whole mentality implies that the players are to some extent "along for the ride".
