"A learning is that we just have to jump into games better, particularly when we're travelling, playing early, and playing against a weaker team on the ladder. The challenge has been consistency and and jumping into the game. The good thing about this week is it's a home derby, so playing in front of a home crowd is always a massive boost. It's these away trips where we don't maybe have the home crowd advantage, where we've got to create our energy internally and through our actions and behaviours. We just didn't do that for long enough. This week is a good opportunity, a good challenge, and Derby's always throw up challenges. We spoke about that. With the position we are on the ladder, teams are going to come after us. They're going to bring their best. Teams like Port Adelaide have got nothing to lose. They're just having a crack. We knew that we spoke about it going into the game, but it's about our attention to detail and our ability to do the hard things, and embrace imperfections."
