The boys in Perth

David King mentioned that Melbourne had a hard scratch match during their week off (so much so they lost Joel Smith to injury) and questioned whether Port took it too easy during their break.

I wonder how we approach the break and how we plan on maintaining the rage leading into the GF week.

The scratch match might be real but there’s actually no way that Smith injury happened.

Haha you're probably right.

I’m hoping we rest up. We’ve played 11 or 12 games since the bye and we structured the boys break and I’m not sure we gave it back thinking of the end of season bye. With games in WA, GCS, Hawks in Tassie in the H&A plus Tassie, Brisbane, Adelaide and now Perth.

Get them cherry ripe physically. Spend the time working on boys mindset, have different GF experiences inform the group (Duryea, Treloar and the 2016 crew) and spend more time on walking the boys through the broad strategy and specific roles. Sure there’s enough time in 7 days to do that. But I think the game could be won or lost between the ears so normal sessions, so it seems like a better use of time, as well as lots of massage, physio and rehab of any niggles. I don’t think hard sessions or spirited scratch matches are the answer for our boys and the context of the last four months.

That’s my take.

They should make them watch the Karate Kid before the game like our under 11s coach made us before a grand final. The lesson of Danny LaRusso being hurt, but fighting back didn't help us that day however I'm sure our guys would get something out of it.

Come to think of it, just before the boys run out Bevo should definitely play Mariah Carey's Hero, start crying telling the lads they're his heroes like my under 16s coach did before an elimination final. Whilst it didn't spur us on to win the match that day I'm sure our boys would appreciate it.

Didn't Daniel LaRusso cheat to win?

Nah that was Eddie Guerrero.

[EasternWest]

Nah that was Eddie Guerrero.

I'm pretty sure Daniel-San ended the fight with a head kick, which is explicitly said at the start to be illegal.

The only thing Eddie Guerrero ever did against the rules was everything.
