I think the way they're coached, I've mentioned this a few times, their leaders can, and they were missing a few last night, their on-field leadership and their ability to control a game and
control momentum during quarters.
I think it's a really difficult skill now that we're seeing.
Teams are sort of saying, oh, I wish we could stop the quarter at 15-minute mark.
And this team seems to work it out themselves on field.
And the last quarter, it just sort of started to build and build and build.
And then all of a sudden, you're right, Gerard, it was a flex.
It really was.
And their ability to hold their outside balance, you know, they just hold their lanes.
And then once the game opens up a bit,
the Fredericks start to come into the game.
So, I mean, the question for you, Kent, can they go all the way?
Like, do they need to lose a prelim before they win a grand final?
Or have they learned enough lessons in the past two or three years with this group?
Are they ready to go?
Yeah, well, you know, I think they were the third youngest list in the competition last year.
So just looking at the side, it looked like they weren't quite ready to handle the big stage.
They get to a final.
They get rolled at home.
But, Gerard, if they finish top two and they get two home finals, it'll be a different story than Adelaide last year.
