I’m still able to spend a little bit of time in the midfield, just to give Trent, Dusty, Anthony Miles – those sort of guys – a chop-out.
* We’re not a high-possession team. We certainly don’t have guys that get 35 possies plus. We’re all about making them count and backing our teammates one-v-one down the line. Maybe at times, that means we’re kicking it long rather than just over-possessing and holding on to the footy.
* I think we’re defending better. We’re certainly not having huge run of goals or huge scores kicked against us. But we’re also controlling the footy and not giving it back as much. That just helps you so much in terms of going forward and not having to work as hard defensively.
* We’ve just got to keep learning and keep developing as a good side. We showed on the weekend that we can play good footy but we didn’t finish off. That’s what you see Hawthorn and Sydney do. They’re ruthless right from go to whoa.
* We’ve got a couple of great challenges, playing Fremantle and Hawthorn in the next couple of weeks. We’ve shown that we can beat Sydney in Sydney and Freo over there. So, the challenge is to do it at home here in Melbourne against two of the better teams in the competition.
