When Bruce said that the dam wall had burst we knew he meant we'd we'd win multiple premierships.

It's going to be really interesting to see how we handle the psychological aspect of being the hunted. Quite a few teams in the preseason games were trying out a bit of their own take on Men of Mayhem and carrying the ball through the middle of the ground and playing on every time.

You'd think Bevo is a step ahead and has a new component that will make last year's approach so 2016.

I'd reckon so. He has been involved in enough flags and the follow up to them that I'm confident enough that he will onto the pitfalls of big heads and getting ahead of ourselves. We will have a different game plan this year. A look at the players we get back tells us that.

We are very chance to do it again but need to keep one step ahead of the pack and make sure we are even harder for other teams to figure out. If our defence is anything like it was in 2016 and in addition our forward line functions then will be hard to stop again.

Injuries is another factor and if we can have less of them the more ideal but that didn't stop us in 2016.

Just amazing how our defence held up last year considering that it got a battering on the injury front.

Will endeavour again to watch the GF and a few on those finals game from 2016 before the season starts.
