Fair, but they’re one of how many teams who’ve had the bye? Also, considering their post-GF reputation I doubt much of the right kind of rehab was being done...
If we lose to Carlton..............who wants to think that.
You will be fine, the players will turn up and get the job done.
It's a concern but hopefully they get the right conditioning over the break.

But what about Cahill in the air?
Ps Rance handy for the diving required to milk a penalty

yeah but BT's commentary for 4 nights in a row?
Will be interesting to see how West Coast, Carlton and Hawthorn go this week after the bye
This is classic above the shoulders stuff, it's all mental. Looking at the way the group gelled together on Monday (like round 4,5 and most of 6) that is the mindset the coaching panel want the team to have collectively.
You can see they're enjoying their footy and confidence is very high, and that is unlikely to change dramatically because of a break in playing continuity.
I'd imagine the playing group and the panel will welcome the break so they can refresh physically but in the mind they'll be chomping at the bit to show the world how good they are and the opposition how ruthless they can be.
This is my belief that is in the collective mindset of the playing group and the panel. Very healthy.
Should we lose, we’ll just blame you
Nah, Carlton are very poor
For mine Carlton is playing less than the sum of it's parts, they have a lot of raw talent that needs time to develop. They'll win an upset game or 2 before seasons end.
It won't be against us though, our confidence and gelling is very high right now and the panel will be relentless in keeping the playing group in the right mindset i:e stay confident but don't get cocky even though it is a lowly carlton.

Nah, talent counts equally as much.
We have a very talented bunch
Yes of course we do, 6 mths ago the footy world saw our "talent" as spuds. Funny how the right development can realise potential and a lot of that is the psyche of the playing group - they believe just as the club has for some time now.
As far as the effects of the bye is concerned, I think it's minimal. A chance to refresh physically while the panel will keep the playing groups mindset in check.
Nothing to see here move on.
