Why So Different??

[Lods]

Suffice to say, I'm really looking forward to seeing the game this week! 

So am I and that's a big difference to earlier in the season.

....but just a word of caution.

I think we still have a fair bit to learn about this playing group.
The change of coach and a change in the style of play has given us the opportunity to see them operate under different situations. Some we thought may have been struggling to retain a place on the list may blossom.

But we also probably need to consider the fact that somewhere in the remainder of the season we're may suffer a setback or two.

The type of intensity we bought to the Port game was great but can we sustain it?
Will the style of football we play hold up against sides like the Hawks and Freo?

If one or two of these teams do get hold of us it may be a bit of a shock to the system.
Many of us have conditioned ourselves to the belief that the dark days are behind us.

We need to treat a poor result as a bit of a reality check and not get too carried away by those results.

As long as the general trend is an improved effort and performance then we're on the right track.
