    On a different, but related, note. Its been good to see in the last couple of weeks, our defenders being a fraction more conservative in their positioning in recent weeks. We have defended poorly this season, and perhaps these adjustments were a case of the coaches and players acknowledging we needed to address this.
    I believe I read the observation on here that our press is not as high in recent weeks as it had been which likely relates to your last point

    1. Loving Bailey Smith a little bit more each week. That moment after his goal when he spotted Selwoods jumper and lashed out I love in players - a pure competitor

    2. A kick in the ass might be just what Toby Mclean needed - back to his damaging best

    3. We match up really well with the cats. I don’t think we’ll make finals but if we do we’ll scare the s*** out of whoever we play

    1. We have left our run to the finals too late.....I think.
    2. If last week's win against Port gave the boys belief, this week confirmed it.
    3. Bailey Smith's front and centre snap made something move!
    They've done studies you know, 60% of the time, it works every time!
