Totally Positive Outlook, Why The Kangaroos Will Win In 2007
It is the start of the season and every team has a chance, here are the positives that the club has. Nothing negative, one hundred percent optimism. This isn't what you would get from an old, crunchy guy sitting on a couch, only a long-time supporter of the team would enter the season with this positive outlook. Anyone can win, in March 2005 the Swans were not a big favourite and in 1993 the Bombers came from out of nowhere to win, so all 16 teams can have the belief at the start of the season that they could be holding up the cup at the end of the year. This is why they will win it all.
They found more forward options:
Thompson is still there, and now Edwards, Brown, Hale, Thomas, Grant and Jones can help the Kangaroos kick a winning score.
It was time to hit the Hay:
Maybe nobody knows the whole story but with Hay gone it could help the Kangaroos, addition by subtraction as there won't be any of the distractions for the club that there were last year.
They drafted Hansen:
There were some draft prospects available who might be stars in 2009 or later, Hansen's time is now.
Petrie could be one of the league's best tall defenders:
There were games last season when Petrie dominated around half back, he was not only stopping attacks but he was sending the ball forward with good accuracy.
The coach is in a "contract year":
The team needs to win now, the coach really needs to win now, the rebuilding time is over for the Kangaroos.
The veterans have been well prepared:
When the season was completely lost last year the Kangaroos shut down some of their older players, so far that has worked and their list is at full strength.
The Kangaroos have another home field advantage:
They should be able to develop a significant advantage with their second ground on the Gold Coast.
They have good depth in the ruck:
McIntosh, Moran or Hale is worthy of their number 1 ruck position. They also have Goldstein too.
