Our form appears to be not as good as we would like, however, I happen to think that has a lot to do with the conditions on the day. We have played 5 night games and one evening game at the SCG and all games the dew has set in and made the conditions difficult, hence closer scores. It rained for most of the Brisbane game.
We play Ethihad Stadium well; why? Because we are a top of the ground team. Arguably our best game was round 1 in Perth - on top of the ground. We beat the Bulldogs at Ethihad and Geelong in the afternoon on a good, dry surface. The day of the Hawthorn game it rained for most of the day, but the MCG being a great surface, dried out and allowed both teams to have clean posssession (no dew).
From now we have 4 games at Ethihad, an afternoon game at the SCG, an afternoon game at the MCG and one at Spotless. We have 3 games in the open at night.
3 of the Ethihad look tough but we have a great record there. We have every chance to lift our % and show our true on top of the ground form in the 2nd half of the season.
