If you want to watch closely, you'll learn a lot.

Yes, I think so.

I think with the teams that they've lost to and how they've lost, but it's also that competitive...

competitive side of things, it seems like they're getting back into it.

The midfield seems to be back a bit more hardened.

Defensively, they've been really sound of late.

They're offensive as much as they were really good on Thursday night.

Offensively, they need to be more consistent to really damage some higher-end teams.

But what I've seen of late, a nice win against Geelong, and then what they did to the Doggies, even though they were on demand.

I'd say a few Adelaide Crow supporters over there would have a decent smile on their face knowing what they were able to do on the back end of last year on that run home.

I was concerned earlier.

There was no combative effort against them.

You saw what they did.

They had a pure hatred against the Hawks the week before.

And that was, we're going to get into their face.

We're going to show them.

what it is to play against the Doggies when they've got that stern look.

They were going to scratch, bite, fight for every little touch they could.

And if Hawthorne player got in the row, well, bad luck.

You're a part of the play.
