The BIG ONE: Saints V Cats, Rnd 4
Look, I know we've got the dogs first, but I just can't get over this.
I was not particularly convinced, by any stretch of the imagination, by our performance against Carlton on Saturday, especially our first quarter. Furthermore, I might add, Joey gave a clear indication that the team are not impressed with their form at the moment when he was interviewed on the Sunday Footy Show.
Then, there's Geelong. The obliteration that they made of the Dons on Sunday was nothing short of terrifying. The thing was, I don't think the Dons were playing poorly - they were just overran by the best side I've ever seen. And at the moment, I think if we were playing Essendon, it'd be a close game - so do the math.
All the positive talk of St Kilda I've been a part of on this site just started to fade as I realised that the Cats are not even in the same stratosphere as the rest of the competition.
I want to believe that we can beat the Cats in Round 4. But I just can't see it happening. Please, if you think there is any way, let me know. But don't waste our time with pie in the sky generalities or hopeful wishes (like Kosi kicking 5 again like he did in the Mickey Mouse game against them in the NAB). How specifically can you see us beating this awesome team?
