2 out of next 4 wins should get Bevo the rest of the year. Miss the 8 he should walk.

It might be that we're not looking at things in such a linear way right now.

There's still six or seven teams better credentialed than we are, including the one we played tonight. Maybe two or three of those teams don't meet expectations and it opens things up for us, but at the same time there's us and three or four other teams vying to replace them if that happens.

The composition of our team from last year to this week has changed, as it has from the start of the year to this week. Not telling you how to experience footy, but like I said after last week's game I'm just going to try and enjoy this season without huge expectations because expectations unfounded don't make for great footy watching.

Interesting thing that. Would you have taken 5/5 with the second highest percentage with debuts for Bramble, Harmes & Coff, with Khamis back in defence again. Plus debuts for kids in Sanders, Gallagher, Clarke & Freijah? Including two rising stars. And with time out to Weightman & Marra (and JJ last night) plus senior guys with bigger reps playing VFL in Lobb, Daniel & Macrae.

At the same time, losing every close game sucks big time. Win some of them and the clubs right about where we should be. But we haven’t won them yet.

Plus Libba missing games/being affected in games. Bont playing sore.

The Hawks loss is still inexcusable but easily attributed to poor skills in the back half. We're trending the right way now but the challenge is on the players to maintain this level.

Yep. We should’ve won Freo, Hawks & Cats. If we can overcome whatever is holding us back in these games/losses then that’s the difference. As you say, we need the players to keep up yesterdays effort.
