Yeah, yep, yep, so a couple of good weeks, and I'm tipping not in a great mood. I'm just reading a text out from Carl. I was good to see another missed opportunity from the Dockers. Good morning, right? Morning, boys. Have your same mate. Go for your life. I'm not angry, boys. I'm disappointed. Oh, that hurts. That does. You know, the opportunity last year, we could have been second, we were lucky with a couple of other results, but just the lack of want to win the game in the last quarter, I think, is very disappointing. You know, we lost the clearances in the idiots again, and should have been three, four, five goals up at three-quarter time, but to have your nose in front. And I won't so roll over because I thought it was back on the huge in the last quarter, but just the lack of running, the lack of authority from one or two blokes to say this is the out game, not your also and grab it and take it. It was very disappointing. Is this what's holding your back, Ray? We got a few good messages coming in this morning, and Daryl's sent a good one in saying this is just shows more free-o group lacks the maturity to take it to the next level. Is this what's holding your club back from being a genuine premiership contender? You could say yes, because it's a big game, and you're probably right, a lack of maturity, but we do have mature bodies around the place. One question I'll post to you this morning, boys, is selection. It's been established that our game revolves around two-rock. Yet every time Soren Darcy has been unavailable, we haven't picked a second Ruckman. And the match committee thinks it's a good idea to take your most important forward-line piece, our boy, and frame in the middle of the ground. I don't understand it. You've got Liam Reddy at what, Peele, he said 9,643 hit out this year. But if your game style revolves around two-rock, how do you not play two-rock? I don't understand. It's a fair call. You wouldn't be moving Josh Chacey from anywhere, other than our forward right now. Deep forward. Apparently it's a good idea. Yeah, I was just, I was not disappointed. I was surprised at that last week, and said again, yeah, you're taking away your robbing Peter to pay Paul. I agree with that. It's a good call, right? Good take. But the next couple of weeks are huge, boys. We've got to get home for two weeks. We have to bank these two. Yep. Four out of six is probably a minimum for the, to say, we've, you know, to give yourself a kick for this season, you want to get four out of the last six and give yourself a good run at it. I know it's one week at a time, mate, but are you nervous at all about the second derby? Probably not. Probably not. Why would be Ray? No. Yeah, I know, but I don't know, Laura said, our best is good enough. We've all seen it, we, you know, how many of you, yeah, no, I'm not nervous about the second derby. All right. Go on your way. Always good to chat, mate. Keep up the good work. And this year, very level. I like that. So, but there are some, you know, some criticism about their lack of flair late in the game. They were trying to sort of hold the game rather than try and win the game. So if you're a free man or fan, do you agree or disagree? That's the one thing, isn't it? There's a lack of a plan B and a lack of ability to adapt to you in the game. I'm sure they've got a plan B, but there seem to be a lack of execution of it. Maybe that's, maybe we've seen the players all coshy stuff, but they've got to play with some dare at some stage, you know. Oh, it's a good text you make. Here's an example of how tight the AFL table is. The last six rounds, Hawthorne have won four games and lost one and they've dropped from 12 to 13. Yeah. Yeah, brilliant. It is an incredibly tight competition.
