I'm sure I was like many others seeing the headline that Kevin Sheedy had told the Tigers they could win the flag. To borrow that well-worn expression from Darryl Kerrigan, "Tell him he's dreamin'!", I thought.
Later, when I read a report of Sheedy's remarks at the Tigers' season launch and jumper presentation, I had to admit he was onto something. If the Tigers improve themselves by 5%, and the opposition are down 5% on any given day, the Tigers are at least an even money chance. The same can be said for almost any struggling or mid-ranked team. Even the Demons could take some comfort from this notion.
Is it likely that the Tigers will salute on the last Saturday in September? I wouldn't be putting the house on it. Nevertheless, the old master retains his ability to think outside the square and find a positive angle.
