Us being flat won't be a factor. The competition in training, the intensity has been better than it has all season. That edge was there again.

He's a big, dominant kid.

Richmond is probably going to defend (tonight). They're going to let us come at them, so we need guys who are going to be aggressive, guys who are going to get in behind them.

I want them there. They've been through this, they've won championships.

No excuses. We didn't play as well as we should have. But it's halftime of a game that's 180 minutes long ? and maybe longer. These guys know they can do it, but they won't do it playing like they did tonight.

It's a shock and a blow but it gives some young guys a chance to step up.

We showed a lot of character to come right back, but in the second half we were poor defensively. We defended poorly on two set pieces and a cross, and we suffered the consequences. Credit Richmond.

We've discussed possibilities for him to remain in the organization.

He has three young children and although he's making good money for this league, it's probably not enough.
