We take a look at some of the key quotes from Dan Hannebery’s press conference ahead of training on Wednesday morning at the SCG.
Chances of still making top four"Clearly. We're 4 per cent outside the four and on even points with the Bulldogs. There's a massive belief knowing that our best can stand up, and we've shown this year that our best footy is good enough against the best teams, but we've also shown that we've had some really poor quarters and it's cost us. We've got to get moving but we certainly feel like there's enough time in these next four weeks to get ourselves up and going." Contested footy against Geelong"We think that (in) something we pride ourselves on – contested footy – they absolutely smashed us. Geelong are a quality side and have been for a number of years and they've got some sensational players in there that really showed us up. Clearly the Geelong players out-hunted us and out-worked us.” Midfield group recent poor form"We’re all disappointed like most of the group, we understand that we set the tone for the group and we need to make sure we're on top at different stages of the game, and we weren't able to do that on the weekend." Short turn around with six day break"I wouldn't say it's urgent - it's a critical game for us this week but we've got time to work out those inconsistencies. Their win/loss record probably doesn't really reflect the footy they've played.”Challenge of facing an in form Collingwood“Certainly, they’ve had an impressive year. Their win-loss record probably doesn’t reflect the footy they’ve played given they only just came up short against Fremantle and Hawthorn and played some really good footy throughout the year. So we know what we’re up against.”
