Our Robbo's Blunt Warning to Current Crop

This crop is nothing like the team of 2005.  Daniher had a terrible defensive structure and teams would easily score against them. 
 

Before their run of losses that year the conceded: 

dogs 15.21 round 2

saints 23 goals round 4

dockers 22 goals round 6

hawks 19 goals round 8

no wonder they lost the next 7 games. As soon as the pressure dropped sides would pile on the goals.

 

 

Alistair Nicholson and Ryan Fergsuon played a good chunk of 2005 in our back line.  Far  cry from May and Lever.

Our midfield was also pretty lazy back then, they had a reputation as downhill skiiers and they were for that whole era really.  One of the main reasons we could never take the next step.

Probably a timely article given we are seven zero. Dont want to get cocky.

But for Dees fans that have been around its hard not to get too excited.

For Dees fans we’re waiting for the other shoe to drop.

We are in the fortunate position to have hungry and in-form players in the wings when we have inevitable injuries.

I'm expecting a loss this week (yeah, yeah, I know), but I think this current team is playing better Team football than any other group I've witnessed in Dees colors.

How long can a young group maintain their current effort?

I remember that season well, and Sheahans comments in the paper that we were "flaky". He wasn't wrong.

I think we have been through enough of the proverbial to not get ahead of ourselves, I am still expecting the wheels to fall off at some point
