Friday's game against the reigning premiers, who are fresh of some impressive wins against top 4 sides, is the proverbial 8 pt game, and is effectively a do or die game in the context of our season given the possible ramifications on ladder position.

As we all are painfully aware of we've had a awful month of football, we're getting smashed in the midfield and clearances. Consequently we're leaking a heap of goals from stoppages and our backline is getting exposed on the fast break. But I guess the most painful thing about last week's game was the effort and intensity. Our midfield group has been relatively constant throughout the season as Kerr has pointed out, so what's gone wrong in this month of footy and what can we do to turn it around against the Cats?

Do you think we can win on Friday? What do we have to do to win?
