That's our problem. We've got no-one who's downright scary, who can physically intimdate opponents like Barry Hall, Byron Pickett, Jonothon Brown, or Mark Ricciuto can.

If that's the case, the least we could do is if a player gets hit - then it's "all-for-one and one-for-all" - the whole team must fly the flag - not just a couple of them. It seems like only Fev seems to want to fly the flag - we need some aggro, some mongrel - we have to give the message that no-one can physically intimidate us.

All the great sides have their share of them. At Carlton, we used to have Big Nick, The Dominator, THe Duke of Earl - these guys would continually serve it up physically to the competition. Footy is a physical game - it's becoming less so, but when a player needs to get hit, then we need to hit them!

Toughness aint all about dishing it out you know.Its about taking it as well.Being able to absorb punishment and going on with the job is just as important.............and we witnessed the beginnings of that last week against the Dockers.They were definately on top in the physical stakes.But we were not intimidated,and in fact grew stronger from the experience.Just a small step in the right direction.From little things,big things grow...........we didnt cower,we didnt run and hide.
The second half against the Dockers has filled me with huge optimism for the future.
