This week is the ultimate test. High stakes against our wild card rival.

Brisbane and Geelong were great wins but we were expected to get smashed so we don't have that pressure to perform.

Which has been the argument all along.

I've never said Voss is a supercoach. Just give him some time to do what he needs to do. Fraser is riding on his coattails, and not doing a thing wrong, and doing plenty right. But people attributing all the success to Fraser and none to Voss is a recipe for disaster.
Look at the bigger picture as to what has changed since Vossys departure.

2 things....quality of opposition has been poorer.
Improvement from our captain (and its not just him, but obvious when looking at him) has made a huge difference.

I don't want to restart the debate. The article is nothing new to me, and some others, however all the voss haters/fraser boosters continue to ignore that and argue against it. Its dishonest and/or naive.

I’m ambivalent to be honest but I don’t buy your comment about quality of opposition given we have beaten Geelong and Brisbane.

Take it to the coach thread please.
This is for the pre-match.

Was wondering when you would put this to bed😁, as for this Sunday I couldn’t stand another loss to this mob after our meek performance last time. I don’t expect the same level of finishing we produced last Saturday night but anything close will see us win.

I've just been breaking the ladder down week by week. Previous to our efforts this week (and geelongs to rise up the ladder) we hadn't beaten a team inside the top 6. Hadn't lost to a team in the bottom 5, and had split the difference between the teams in the middle.
That was based on nothing other than the ladder positions for about a month straight.
You don't have to buy it, that was the facts.

As mentioned, this was before last weekends games.
