I feel like I'm in no mans land at the minute. All these wins, number of qtrs won, wild card position etc, I dont know whether to accept it, believe it, doubt it, this is all newish to me. Being so very well conditioned to losses, misses, turnovers, slipped tackles, fumbles, silly 50s, etc, I really dont what to think. Enjoy it for however long it lasts I guess. I dont want it end though.

As far as Im concerned, the season started 12 games ago and we are right up there with the form teams in the comp.

Anything can happen and probably will.
I feel the same. Only relaxed during the game in the 4th quarter.  We have had some terrible losses and we are scarred.  I still am
Not 100% but definitely think having an injection of some harder at it personalities has really helped with the yips.
And how interesting that it was Higgins that killed us in that last game a few years ago, last night he was missing it all!

I wouldn't be too critical of his VFL game
He was playing his first game back after injury.
His outing was designed to just get him  some game minutes.
And the wind was such that players were misjudging the ball all over the ground.
With the wind the ball was carrying further than expected and against it...holding up.

Should he play this week?
If he's to be part of the rest of the campaign he needs to be back in.

Young and Weitering.

Yes, it's also obvious, and has been for some years, that Young often performs better without Weitering there.
That could partly be because he takes more responsibility when Weitering has been absent.
Young is very much a confidence player and it may be Weitering has put some extra pressure on him at times over the years.

As for the trade...
Firstly Weitering needs to agree to it.
He's shown no indication that he's anything other than fully committed.
But if he was OK with it...
For the first time in a decade Weitering being absent isn't the issue it has been in the past...and it would no doubt get us some good picks and/or players.
