It's been a consistent build up for us like any week. The Pies will bring the heat early and we've got to be prepared for that.
* Took a while for his body to get use to the AFL workload. Body needed time. Thankfully had a great management team early in his time at Richmond as well the new guys now. They know and understand exactly what I need and it's helping my footy as well.
* Dreamtime always has a big crowd as well and there's a good rivalry with Essendon. This will be the biggest Richmond vs Collingwood game he's been involved in. Reminded everyone who turns up has the chance to win a Jeep (good boy Cotch mentioning the major sponsors $$$
).
* Former Bulldog Rick Kennedy is his future father-in-law.
* Takes time to learn a new gameplan when a new coach comes in. Some clubs have a mature list and pick it up quickly but we had a young list and didn't that winning experience. Initially it wasn't working but Dimma knew it would take time and we the players had full confidence in it which is even more important than learning it and training at it. Dimma has also put good people around him and that's why we are starting to see results now. Still a lot of improvement left in us to be able to compete and beat the top sides consistently.
