Looking at Richmond during their flag years, as they played a very high pressure game like us. They were pretty damn ordinary until about July each year. Then peaked when it mattered, just getting top 4, being able to keep up their high pressure game where they buried sides come finals. Thinking we could be the same. We couldn't keep up a high pressure game and were out on our feet. By July/August we will. Suppose that is called peaking. Interestingly, during that 4 year period, the one year they didn't make the GF was the year they finished on top.
Of the hard run of games we've won 2, lost 2. Should've got 2 points last week. If we can crack a win somehow next week though 3-2 would be a good result. A couple of blokes fitter for the run this week will help.

Completely new HB line Ollie back in on a wing We played the two rucks, no Harry and won that epic final. We had Doc and Saady though. Durdin Cunningham Elijah, consider yourselves lucky. Voss might not be as kind to you.
Apparently, Martin is ready this week too. I'd let Marchbank play the twos as I worry about bringing in too many that have missed a bit of football.
