Footy moves on pretty quickly.

That game was a long time ago.

If I were to get a little bit emotional about it, you kind of ask yourself the question, so if you beat them, will it help?

And if you lose to them, will it make any difference?

There's no doubt they're the benchmark in the competition and we're kind of aspiring to be that team.

I'd be a little bit nervous if we just sort of rolled out against Brisbane and expected that we'll just beat them based on talent.

We need to be a bit more thoughtful than that.

We've, for a long time, we tend to have been a team that has been prepared to tweak the way we play almost week to week.

And I used to be of the view that that was a really dangerous way to approach it.

But I just think in the modern game, if you play the same way all the time, irrespective of the opposition, if you just say, we are going to play a run and gun, handball style of game every week, you're going to run into some big trouble at some stage.

So you need to have that ability to adapt a little bit.

So, you know, one thing that they've done, I think they're the third best defence.

I think everyone will be really excited about that game and we can't wait to get into that one.

Both teams can score heavily when they want to and we'll be going at the game attacking it pretty hard as well.

So they play a really good brand of footy.

They've got, you know, talent everywhere.

We're going to have to be at our best and that's a great opportunity for our players to another benchmark game for us to see where we're at.

This is your town.

This is your station.

This is Waitley.
