Round 10 - Geelong Match Preview
By Guy Igcognito Do you believe In Magic? A bit of good fortune, that an article of a similar train of thought has just been published on the official website, titled “Knights: We must believe we can win”. I have been critical of the club and players in the past few years, not solely because a player played a bad game, or that we werent good enough, the most frustration has come from a lack of belief in themselves from everyone at the club, that they did have the talent, that we did have the players to be better than we were. Ive believed weve had the team, to be a top 8, if not a top 4 team for awhile. Ive seen players that could grow into top flight players and Ive seen players who could be the grunt players, who will round out the team. Now this isnt a pump myself up session, to brag, oh I got in first, I saw this, this and this. Its quite easy to see talent in an individual and a team, however the players are the ones who go out there and bust their arses off, trying to get to the potential most of us see. »
