If this season has shown us anything it's if you don't turn up ready to play you could find yourself staring down the barrel of a pretty big catch-up.
Now in the past teams have been able to fight their way back into the contest from big deficits.
The problem is, with the exhausting way the game is being played at the moment, big leads are probably going to be much harder to peg back for tiring teams.
It's a problem that is likely to get worse as the season progresses and I reckon there will be some big margins.
The message from all that is we have to repeat what we've just done.
Pressure and intensity from the start.
Last week still has a few folks a little cautious...we need another solid performance to reinforce that we're really progressing in that aspect.
I think we're really good if we hit hard from the start and establish a superiority in terms of intensity.
I'm still not sure how we go the other way when real intensity comes in our direction....Freo were really poor in that department.
