I actually disagree, I think we haven't played our best football yet, nowhere near it.
Yes we have some harder games to come (especially after the bye) but if we get Sidebottom, Ramsay, Reid and Greenwood up and running our potential output increases by 20-30% IMO.
It's looking like being the opposite of last season in regards to injuries, where last year we started ok and just got absolutely decimated after the mid way point of the season this year we started with a decent injury list and it's diminishing by the round.
If we are able to get anywhere near our best 22 on the field after the bye we will play better footy then we have already.
Yes we are 5-3 and that looks like a good start to the season but we've had a piss easy draw, don't be fooled, we haven't played our best football for 2015 yet, by a long way.
That's not to say we are a finals team even, but we can play better then we have been if we are given the tools to do so.
I'd place a bet with anyone that we will finish with a better record then last season (11-11 and 94%), even if it's only on percentage.
If we could steal this game it would change a lot too, 6-3 is a huge start for us.
Agree. Think we'll continue to improve as the season progresses. Doesn't mean we'll win games but we'll see some of the kids emerging as genuine best 22 prospects for 2016 and beyond.
Roos think they're contenders and we acknowledge we're not in that sort of space so we're definitely the underdog in this match. It is one we could potentially steal though. All pressure on the Roos.
