The footy media is suffering from a bout of puppy love after hearing Vossy's post game response to our Geelong loss. However, Vossy has since made it clear that he changed his assessment of the Geelong game within 48 hours.
We're playing some brilliant footy but only in bursts - perhaps it's not possible to maintain that intensity for a whole game. We could blow Collingwood away with a quarter of our best footy, or we could let them back into the game with some mediocre footy. They're not travelling well and De Goey out is a big loss for them. However, anything less than a four quarter effort from us will simply play them back into form.
According to Matty Kennedy, our players are hurting after the Geelong loss and know what's required to beat Collingwood. Let's hope they are switched on and get the job done.
Our blokes ate pressure for breakfast last year (second half), we are struggling to cope this year.
