Today is one of 4 'must win' games as far as this season goes. Adelaide, Essendon, Fremantle and Carlton are the 4 games that will define our season and say whether we make the finals or not. We can easily win all 4 or lose all 4 and the more of them we win, the more likely we are to make the 8. So today in itself is not 'must win' but collectively it sure is.
Yep really important game, have to win against one of the better sides after losing to Freo to make the 8, and then beat every rubbish side below us.
This is an opportunity we have to take, especially while the pressure is lower compared to what it will be like as we get into late July and August.
A win today and a top 8 finish is probably more than likely.
I'm concerned though our form has been tracking towards a season collapse. Hopefully the break and the inclusions of a few better players will have a positive effect.
