Nothing to do with the Gold Coast..
All we hear in the media is how well Melbourne are run and that they are a powerhouse etc etc etc blah blah blah
They have unlimited funds available and a lot of that thinking goes back to a time when they busted the cap to pieces.
I think we are entitled to more respect than them.
Consider this stat. Two teams in the NRL era have played in the most preliminary finals - us and them are about to play our tenth. That's pretty incredible. But we are never mentioned in the same breath as then when people are praising clubs. I am happy to fly under the radar but it is important that we know they have nothing on us. We both have the same number of premierships.
This thread is clash of the titans because I am extremely confident we will be playing them in the big show, Yes, we should take it one week at a time but consider Robbo's record of backing up after a week off. It's incredible. 9 from 11 with average points of 30 for and 14 against. We will murder Parra and if by some fluke it's Cows we will torture and murder them before cutting them up and feeding them to our pigs.
And I now think we can beat them, They are not supermen. Bellamy is not a superman. In fact, he has plenty of lost GF's that show his side can pack it in on that biggest stage. Also, they have a lot of young players without finals experience now. We have plenty of finals experience going for us.
And when it comes to season records the defensive efforts of our 2013 side come to mind. But how about this side's record of winning close game - which is the best EVER! Is there any better record you would want to hold going into a GF? We have snuck up on this competition and are ready to pounce.
Melbourne will be favourites and they deserve to be. But we are firming in my mind.
Strap yourselves in and enjoy the ride.
