Tim Watson

A very late in the morning type question.

This will carry over until about lunchtime.

Cut it out.

We were talking about Carl's knob statement.

That's what we were talking about.

You've got Sydney a rung below Fremantle?

I think they're the best.

I think between now and the end of the year, Sydney, we're going to have to develop some gears and some plan Bs along the way, which I'm sure they will.

Why haven't they done it to this point, though?

Well, I think they've adopted a really aggressive mindset right from the word go that this is the way they're going to play.

And underneath that, there would be, I'm sure, work in progress about what they can do if it's not quite working.

Because the way St Kilda played them on the weekend...

There's a template.

You're talking about Melbourne pushing them.

You're talking about North Melbourne pushing them, Collingwood pushing them.

Clubs are just ruthlessly going to work on them, as you would.

And the way St Kilda came up at them, and just frontal pressure, if that's what you want to call it, that is what they're going to be confronted with from now until the end of the year.

And they'll work out...

Whether they can continue in this manner and get away with it or whether they need to perhaps be a little bit more selective in where they go and when they go.

I think they've got a smart group, yeah.
