They'll go into individuals.

They'll go into self-preservation mode.

That's just what they have to.

And, you know, that could get...

It could get ugly.

It could get a bit of a spike and a bit of a boost and a bounce in the next few weeks because they're not far away with their performance.

So, you know, I know Josh a little bit and Josh will give them some energy and some freshness.

But then there'll come a time where we'll see we're getting closer to the end, eight weeks to go.

Where's my role in the future?

Yeah, I think it's a pretty big game.

I think it's a really big game.

You know, Adelaide went 18-5 last year.

They lose this game and they're 5-5.

You know, with a long, long way to go with one of the emerging teams.

And North Melbourne are interesting because of the growth.

They're finally starting to turn some positive young draft picks into some really good players.

And they don't need to drop any further back than five and five.

You know, they need to turn at five and five and keep a bit of excitement in their season as well.

So I reckon it's a fascinating game.

Adelaide need to win.
