- Bulldogs looked to be giving this game their all, whereas we looked to be going at it about 70%
- a lot of skill errors from our guys, come the first round when there is something to play for I'm sure we'll look better
- Dawson had a bad game, but he is a good player - I don't think last year was a fluke
- Most of our key players have looked good this pre-season, come round one when the best 22 are playing and not fringe players like Gaertner, Peake, etc I think we will see the style of footy we are used to from last year
I'm looking forward to round one, and while it would have been nice to win the NAB Cup it's certainly not the end of the world
