I’m feeling stupidly confident about tomorrow’s game.
Maybe because if we do lose it won’t be the end of the world - although, if we do, hopefully it’s close.
Although if it’s very close I’ll be more irritated, because we should have won…
I am naively confident about tomorrow's result, but I'll tell you something crazier than that...

I actually wouldn't mind copping a loss against a powerful opposition. Its easy to play well when you're on a roll, and in recent years we've been the fragile kings of downhill skiing but I really want to see how this team responds to a defeat, how we handle the mental aspect of failure, how our leadership stacks up, if the buy in diminishes. I want to put us in the fire.

So far we've been slapped with wet lettuce leaves and learnt little about our resilience. It doesn't have to be this match but I'm keen to see this sooner rather than later to give us time to weed out the weak links.

Nah, we can lose v Crows as they're also in form on a tear, for Pies and Blues, stick that boot, have a twist, retract boot and ask them if they want some fibre, then kick them in the face and walk off. As in, bury them.

Fair enough. I guess I'm keen for Ross to see what they can do so he can get to work on it. Just as long as we beat Carlton, I can cop a loss or two elsewhere.

Bombers getting the game back on their terms and challenging us, where we had to really put the foot down and step on the gas again was not being slapped by a wet lettuce leaf.
Showed plenty of resilience.
The Freo game wasn’t a gimme either.

Really don't understand how they can be allowed to throw the bloody ball all game..

That one from Treloar in this quarter was ridiculous, was like a rugby pass from a ruck and the umpires just ignored it.

The Dogs know they will get away with it so keep on doing it.

Yes and no. Having mettle tested midgame is one thing, but losing badly, facing doubts and dealing with shortfalls for a week or two is when we'll really find something out.
