Or like Essendon in 2000, they just took their eye off the ball for moment. They may have flaws but seriously, no one wins 19 games straight without having something special - I am sure they will bounce backMH_Bomber wrote:Anyone who tipped us to win knows nothing about footy as we had no right to win this game. ]

The way we played for the majority of that match I think we were the German Shepherds and they were the Putty cat.
Seriously though, I think the Saints have some major flaws. As I discussed with the visiting saint supporter, they have a lot of rather ordinary players in that line up that, yes, up to now have played very well.
Will they stand up to the scrutiny of a hammer and tong finals series ? I think not. We played footy with a finals like attack on the ball and man and they were found wanting.
It was only injuries that prevented up winning that game by a margin of about 40 points.

Okay Windy, lets take the 2000 Bomber side and man for man line it up against the Saints and let me know whether I might be onto something here.
