## Resource

And just like that, the season is alive once again. After the loss to Freo that left us sitting perilously at 6 wins and 6 losses, we were all looking ahead to the next month of footy with a sense of fear and trepidation. Gold Coast, Sydney and Geelong all loomed as mighty obstacles in the form we’d been showing, with even one win from that stretch seeming unlikely. But now, following our best performance for the season against the Swans, we’ve ticked the first two boxes and have our eyes set on the third. Also this week: -Logan’s three quarter time controversy -Conor McKenna’s career revival -Why does Chris Fagan still not get the respect he deserves? And much more!
