We do.
But ours isn't completely without foundation.
It's a 3 premiership hubris. Not a power ranger stance hubris.

The one flaw in the comparison is Williams. We got rid of him at the end of 2016, and I don’t think it’s a total coincidence that our rise coincided with his departure. He was very salty about our success in 2017.
There's no break in it.
Constantly hard games
This season will be our hardest fixture wise thanks to Hocking.
Compared Geelong playing Wc and Brisbane at Karadinia park and we travel to perth twice, port, Brisbane and GWS all away.
We actually have the easiest draw.
We play no one above us
A tough draw might mean we drop a game here and there, which i don't think is a bad thing as it should help prevent complacency setting in.
Yes but saw a report claiming that, as their development coach, he has really improved their kicking, with footage as evidence. I think he has also got across our message about playing a team role, not trying to do too much alone but share the ball with team-mates in better position.
That may be true as Godeeez are using and kicking the ball far better in '21. However, we have never looked back on his departure as he was really old school and that authoritarian style of communication with today's generation of young players can be counter-productive.
Don't mind Choco as he's a real individual, but will be interesting to see how long he stays with the Dees.
Yes, designed by Shocking and Co. to try and ensure we miss top 4 to provide greatest opportunity of knocking us out of contention. No easier games until Rd. 11/12 - Crows and Bummers.
Note only 2 x HGs in first 6 rds (Hawks match not our HG - not that nuff-nuffs like Kane Cornes will count it that way!)
Compare with soft draw for the other '20 Grand Finalist. Rd.1 - Crows A (expected easy kill even at AO but 'shock' loss); Lions H; Hawks G; Dees A (one strong opponent in form and well beaten); Norf H Rd. 5. Two lucky wins under a goal in that lot still.
And the skunks really struggling - with issues and injuries - next 3 are Bummers G, GCS G, Norf MS.
How fortunate.
