If they're able to turn it around and go the other way, which is what happened on...

Now, they're different.

The Iden one is at the other end of the ground, and they've still got time to be able to recover it and have a shot for goal.

The Fremantle one with Luke Jackson led directly to going the other way, and the game was pretty much done on that moment.

So it's a mental side of the football game as well, where you go from thinking, offence, here we go, scoreboard pressure, let's give ourselves an opportunity to go inside 50, to go the other way, and you're six points.

That was a legitimate 12-point turnaround.

Mentally, in major parts of games, I think it can most certainly hurt

A team that is, I guess, on the bottom end or the wrong end of the smother.

And I understand the pushback with fans when it comes to wildcard weekend.

And did we need it?

Did we not?

And I'm not going to fire that conversation up again.

But a byproduct because of that, JJ, is the way the ladder gets structured.

So the top six, the fight for sixth.

Because you really probably look at it right now, Sydney, Fremantle, Hawthorne, Brisbane, maybe Geelong, they've played some good footy in the last couple of weeks.

But you have sort of four probably clear-cut sides.

And not to say that it won't change, but if there's four sides, to finish in the top six means you get a week off

which is something that teams have become accustomed to in recent times.

But the week off, you play a team that hasn't had any break on the back of the home and away season.

So the wild card, put it to one side if your thoughts are so against it, which so many listening to SCN is or are.
