It's important that we bring a repeat effort of our last game to this contest.
We're in a strange position at the moment.
Most of us realise there is a bigger picture at play than the weekly results, but there's also the awareness that there are no guarantees on either the time frame or the ultimate success of the strategy.
Progress rarely happens in a straight line and there are always peaks and troughs.
What folks like to see is the little bits of improvement.
It's why results like Saturday, even though it was a loss, can serve as a ''pressure'' release.
You can go from being "under seige" to "smiles all around" on the back of one game.
"Carlton is a good place!" this week.
Once again, we don't have to win this game (although it would be nice), but we need a similar commitment.
If we're putting games into kids we want a lot of them to be the right sort of games, and then watch their confidence grow.
