The loss is completely irrelevant today. |
The main thing is the team that can persevere the longest and play contested footy for the longest is the team with the best chance of winning. |
There hasn't been any evidence to suggest the umpires believe the game should be changed the way the rule makers think it should be. |

What it means is you have to cover a bit more ground with your kicking and the ones that make a mistake coming to the (small) SCG try to change their game plan. It is very hard to change your game plan in a week. We think we've got a game plan that stands up on all grounds. |
