He will never put up his hand and complain but the fact of the matter is he hasn’t been his explosive self because of that so he will get better.

I think they are getting a lot of confidence out of being able to absorb pressure and absorb momentum and get the game back looking our way. You can sit there and look back and dwell or you can look at the future and see what it has got to offer. So I thought we did a really good job tonight but there is going to be lots of battles ahead.

We had a lot of inside 50 entries where we should have scored, we just didn’t. Q: Luke Jackson, he bobbed up when you needed him time and time again.A: Yes, that is Jacko. We will abide by that and take his 12 days. Were you happy with the way you absorbed them and what sort of turned it around after that?A: That was the most pleasing thing. He is a work horse and one of my toughest opponents in the AFL. It’s 14.9.93 to 12.16.88. We really struggled to score inside 50.
