We're just going to stay in the moment one week at a time.

We're all great at that as coaches and being involved with AFL football.

It's a very, very easy answer to all media questions.

What are we going to, how are we going to approach this?

Well, we're just going to stay in the moment.

We're going to play one week at a time.

We're not going to lift our eyes, but everyone lifts their eyes.

Everyone has a little glance over the fence and goes, oh, yeah, that looks exciting over there.

Or hang on, I don't want to go there yet.

So, you know, there's always that opportunity.

There's a glance over the fence in everyone's mind, I would have thought, and it would be pretty exciting.

It's not a throwaway line.

We're going one week at a time.

Because if they get any further ahead than one week at a time,

they start losing and then all of a sudden it becomes a much darker picture to look at than the one that they're currently looking at because they can see a little bit of sunrise.

They can see a little bit of the sun coming up and they need to keep that happening.

So, you know, it's an easy line to throw out that we're going to take it one week at a time and that's a great way to prepare for the next upcoming game.

But it also, you know, there'll be some questions along the way about what's next and how far advanced is next.

Collingwood, this is a complex raft for Craig McRae to deal with over the next 10 weeks.

Yeah, your introduction to Collingwood was fascinating, isn't it?
