But I'd say we're pretty across it in what we need to change out there.

Yeah, we definitely use the bye to sort of sit down and review the first half.

And I think a lot of it just comes down to how we can

play our way for as long as we can and I guess a lot of teams would want to show their DNA throughout a whole game and I think that's something we probably haven't been able to do a whole heap in the first half of the year which has shown a bit of those inconsistencies so yeah as teams sort of scout us more and while we're higher up the ladder just trying to find ways to still play our way when they're trying to shut it out.

I think we want to keep our attacking nature.

I think especially when we go up in games, we sometimes got a bit too safe and we go into our cell a little bit and Sam's really good at really reminding everyone of all our weapons and

We've got a lot of flair in our team, and I think if we go into our shell, that's not the team we want to be.

And we've seen in games that causes us to have a lot of problems as well.

So, yeah, I'd say attacking and flair.

Yeah, I mean, it's probably not a title I wish I had.

I wish I didn't need to have performed off injuries.

But yeah, I think doing a lot of work behind the scenes, I think our rehab team at Hawthorne is the best in the AFL and the confidence that they give us coming back from injuries, like even Tom Verratt in his first game back after his hammy, like he was great last night and

I think just nailing all the little things that when you do come back, you have the most confidence that you can in your body.

And I've been able to do that.

And I think just my love of the game, just getting back out there, like I've just got all this extra energy and just finding the joy in the game is something that really spurs me on as well.

I'd probably be lying if I said I didn't have those thoughts.

But I guess anyone would with the amount of injuries I've had.

And it's something that you've just got to sort of work with.

And I think everyone has those type of thoughts, whether it's performance-based or injuries as well.

But I think it's something you've just got to lean into.
