Appearances
at the MCG on a big game.

And I don't think the crowd's going to be there that they expect that they might get later in the year.
voice-verified
But even here, you can see JL's trying to convince himself or talk to himself that they've played big games there.
voice-verified
They won in 2022 against Melbourne.
voice-verified
Probably there wasn't too many players on their team that was playing or on the list that day.
voice-verified
But this is the mindset that they need to continue to build up.
voice-verified
I was with Joel Sowood on Sunday, and the question was asked was, should they prepare this like it's a grand final?
voice-verified
And Joel was 100% yes.
voice-verified
They come over two days early anyway, so they come over two days before, so the preparation there is no different.
voice-verified
I just, I can't see JL, the way he's been playing, he's always been a one-gamer at a time.
voice-verified
They never look into the future.
voice-verified
So for him to go and change it up, because it's the last time that they will play at the MCG, if they win their two finals, which we expect they will be, after this, the next time they're playing at the MCG, I can't, it will be grand final day, I can't see him changing his whole theory, his whole mindset at round 23, around 22.
voice-verified
I can understand why everyone would, but this has been his philosophy for the last couple of years.
voice-verified
They haven't got ahead of himself.
voice-verified
Him and Pearce, he hasn't let the players get ahead of himself because it's been, we're here to do a job one week at a time, focus on that and that's it.
voice-verified
It'd be weird for them to all of a sudden their coach go, OK, we need to prepare differently.
voice-verified
We might need to have a bit more of a break in between the warm-up and running out because they're at grand final day.
voice-verified
That's what we do.
voice-verified
Yeah, for me, I think his whole talk will be we're just here to beat Melbourne.
voice-verified
Melbourne are a quality team aiming to be top six.
