Cox: "You've got to focus on what's right in front of you, and that's North Melbourne."
Sydney Swans senior coach Dean Cox addressed the media on Wednesday in his weekly press conference. He provided updates on injured players, spoke about the form of Brodie Grundy and the challenge of North Melbourne on Saturday.
Speaking about the focus for the rest of the season, Cox said the side had narrowed its focus to week by week.
"The dialogue to, and certainly around the whole footy club, is we need to play our best footy," Cox said.
"You've got to focus on what's right in front of you and that's North Melbourne, you know, they've pushed sides and been in games for long periods of time, so we need to prepare them at their best and that's all we'll do.
"We don't look too far ahead other than planning for players and what their training programs look like, that's the only way we look two, three, four weeks in advance."
