Exactly.

THAT is what happens if you are only slightly off your game. Don't get ahead of yourself and stick to the basics we have been doing over the past 8 weeks.

Does anyone have a towel to throw in?

You can seriously see why so many clubs are chasing Ned Moyle, in a different class!

This is an interesting game - I dont think I have seen a cricket score in a football match.

Has anyone falling off a cliff as much as Young has this year?

Thats enough from me.

I'm not sure what we are trying to do, but its not play football. I've seen training runs with more intensity.

Providing panic buttons are not pushed just have to be sure youngsters like Hudson Okeefe learns from this game and makes some in roads on how to play against 207cm 105kg 21 year old competitive animals.

In the gym you go son

What we see in VFL, when they play before the AFL, can be a litmus test to the wider groups mindset. It's like watching the 2s at Punt Road before you walk into "The G", so often the trend continues!

The weather here in Brisbane today has been very windy.
It's obviously had some impact on the game a little further South, although we didn't take advantage.

It may be something we have to contend with in a little over an hour.

We've won up there. We were the first team to beat them there in 2011, by over 100. It's just a coincidence that this year has been our best season since then.
Recently, however, our record there has not been so bright. The Suns are also much improved this year, despite their ladder position, but especially much more at Metricon, where the home fans have had a lot of reasons to smile this year. We can't be off our game here. Slim, slim chances of a double chance fourth spot or at worst, a home elimination final, rests on finishing the year with Ws. It's still been an amazing run of late to see in any case. Now bring it home boys and give yourselves the best shot you can in September.

I don't want to stir up the ruckman/talls debate again, but they showed an interesting stat which i have been suggesting.

Pressure with McKay - 9th.
Pressure without McKay - 3rd.

I was suggesting that maybe we give McKay an extra week off and playing TDK as the other forward with Charlie, and thats largely why.

We've dominated the pressure ratings with our 'smaller' team or IMO a more balanced team.
Hopefully we can continue it.....but i'm not so sure.
