Also I don’t think being physical doesn’t mean we have 3 Arnies in midfield, it means we can win the second balls, win the 50/50s and attack with some pace and power occasionally rather than the more dainty football we’ve become more used to.

Maybe we did all that last night and we’ll continue to do it when we come up against better opposition.
In terms of writing the season off, couple of points;

1. Old Pie ‘We're out of top spot contention as noted in an earlier post. We're pretty well out of 2nd spot contention too’. Maybe not writing the season off, but very negative at best. Why are we out of contention? I’m not saying we will, but it’s by no means beyond the realms of possibility.
2. You’ve suggested ‘We aren’t good enough to win the League’. As above.

Again, with just under half the season remaining, I would say we are contenders.

Matt Palmer has demonstrated he can win 50/50’s.

The pace note I acknowledge. Maybe Sam will give this option moving forward. Definitely capable.
