The Bye

[bloodpumpsRnB]

The timing of this Hall of Fame game could not have come at a worse time. All this momentum and energy that would have been going through the players and coaching staff at training will be lost because of this week off. Hopefully, by the time we eventually get to the game against Adelaide, we still have some sort of memory as to the style of play that got us over the line today. If we go back to that short chipping possession style of play, this win won't make any difference.Thoughts?

don't think it will be too bad. will give a chance for the players to have a bit of a break and clear their heads. e.g. austin who will head home to NT this week and will be subsequently kept clear of all the media attention he'll probably be recieving .

I would be more annoyed about the 'bye' if we were playing a rubbish side at the MCG next week. Thats when the momentum would be more critical.

Irrespective of playing Adelaide at AAMI next week or in 2 weeks, we won't beat them...nor will too many sides this year to be honest.

Gives us another week to enjoy the win.

Maybe all their players in the All-Star game will neck themselves with injuries?

I think that the bye comes at the perfect time for us,after a win like that the players can reflect on it for a few days longer,i am sure that come next week it will be all systems go for a real crack at the Adelaide Crows!
