Do our blokes just struggle under lights (ie eye issues)? Or are we just crapola on the big stage? Someone should do a thesis on that... AND ALSO WHY WE KEEP LOSING TO DIRTY ROTTEN STINKIN HAWTHORN AARRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!

2 things.

1. They usually have big games on friday nights. So teams who are finals bound usually get at least 1 spot, if not 2. Given we have never really been finals bound in recent history, it means we are coming up against a higher ranked opponent.

2. We haven't really won any games in recent years at all! Friday, saturday, sunday......thursday....i think we have a good record on mondays, but not sure.

 I wonder if this says something about how professionally we recover, or the toll our game plans take on the team!

Off the top of my head i think its because we've played st kilda a few times on monday nights.
Its not about DAYS, its about the opponent. Fridays are a harder opponent than Mondays. Thats the way the AFL run things for ratings

EDIT: We've played St. Kilda 5 times from our last 6 monday night games. For a 3-2 record.
We also beat Geelong, Brisbane and Richmond for the other 3 games.

And now the game comes closer. A heart-stopping win and we move on to Darwin.
Who, if anyone do we get back? Pittonet would be handy, as Witts has played well against us since he moved up North,
For that matter, Jack martin would also be nice.

The run home:

Suns  (Darwin, 21 August, Friday)

Pies  (Gabba, 30 August, Sunday)

Giants    (Metricon, 3 Sept., Thursday)

Swans  (Metricon, 8 Sept., Tuesday)

Crows  (Metricon, 13 Sept., Sunday)

Lions  (tbc, 19 Sept., Saturday)

5 out of 6 to make finals? 4 unlikely to make it.

Coach was definitive in the presser "win every game and we play finals"

Martin would love it up there. TDK can take on Witts but there's no replacement for the class of Martin, especially in those conditions.
