Thanks, guys.

Good to be here.

Well, it certainly was a big build-up for the game coming off a 20-goal loss.

I was sick of talking about it, really, but it was a disaster for us.

We reckon we've been a lot better than that.

You know, the week or two weeks before the bye, you know, we played Gold Coast and we were pretty happy with ourselves.

Probably stayed too happy for too long.

And then we played poorly against Freo.

then a long build up because we're over there all together and nowhere to hide so we managed to eke out a win um so that if we look in the the big picture we came away with uh one loss one win so uh we're still in the hunt you know we're uh you know win the game in the con competition to maybe have a crack at the you know the finals if if we get our act together so um our best has been good enough but we want to be better than the last two weeks

Yeah, well, confidence comes and goes pretty quick.

On the back of, as I just spoke about before, the Gold Coast game, yeah, we had a strong belief going into the 3-0 game that our best can worry teams.

But then pretty quickly, within a day after that loss, we're thinking, geez, we've still got a lot of work to do and confidence can take a bit of a hit.

You know, we've just got to be more consistent in the process.

I've got the coaches out talking now, but just getting our process right and being unrelentless on getting that done week in, week out, quarter by quarter, home, away, good opposition or weaker opposition.

We've just got to be able to consolidate the game style that we want to play and be relentless with that.

Yeah, look, he probably had a bit of a slow pre-season.

You know, he hurt his knee in the back end of last year, which was sort of like a PCL-type injury.

And they can dag around for a while, so I'm not giving him too much of an excuse.

But, you know, he would have liked to have been better.

You know, I think our numbers would suggest we've had more ball inside 50.
