We're kidding ourselves if we think that effort will be there every week. No team plays at it's best every round. The challenge is to get the job done with minimum fuss against sides like Brisbane, not to repeat the Hawthorn effort every week.

Your asking for too much.
Why?

Have the effort and willingness to contest.

It's not been there every week, It shows up for a quarter and we coast.

I have no issue putting the cue in the rack when the heat is out of the game, but we need to see it for more than a quarter.

We saw it for 4 tonight, they can do it when it matters.

Thats it. THIS MUST BE THE STANDARD. Nothing more to add.
When Gibbo kicked that goal every north supporter turned to one another and just looked at eachother.
Surely now is the time for us.

And it is when it matters that they have to do it. The teams who play to their limit each week get stitched up when they reach finals.
Tonight we played like we knew that they would come and continued to fight.

Other weeks we've folded for long periods in games, that can no longer happen.
