Get In, Get the Points, Get Out

Not getting ahead of ourselves but surely the $1.11 solves all the inflationary pressures! Time to Restump Podcast Saturday’s walk in the park.It doesn’t really have that Derby feel. In fact, I can’t recall a more lacklustre week leading up to a derby. The build-up has been non-existent as it seems much of this year the Eagles have run with Homer Simpson’s “can’t win, don’t try” philosophy.There’s been no banter, no cheap shots no angst... sure we’ve got bigger fish to fry but there’s room for all to coexist! Having said that, if we want to potentially take any top four opportunity that may arise, we just need to keep our heads, allow Andy Gaff to keep his head for the foreseeable future and just bag the four points. We’ve got two more games that aren’t going to deliver finals like intensity so we have to keep that in mind. We don’t want to wander into the first week of finals on the back of two soft wins and drowning in complacency, so we need to bring the energy.Like Hawk’s coach Riley said in before the playoff game against the Mighty Ducks, “it’s not worth winning if you don’t win big.” Now I’m not sure we need to go that far but we should be looking to put the eagles to the sword. That said, do we really want to destroy their percentage and aid their campaign to secure pick one? Lets put away the four points convincingly and what will be will be. Switta is back after a seriously busted back, Jye Amiss plays his first game back with Peel this weekend and Sean Darcy has been in contact with his future ruck forward teammate, Luke Jackson! And we’ve made some progress with the Clampaign! Everything is coming up Milhouse.So, while there isn’t the buzz around this Derby there is still plenty to get excited about.
