7.9: Pessimistic or Optimistic?

Not the Gather Round performance we were after but plenty of positives to take after competing (for the most part) with one of the best sides in it. A reality check of sorts, but not a particularly harsh one. We're 3-2 after five games - including three in Adelaide - and we probably all would have taken that heading into Round 1.

Darren takes aim at his fellow media professionals and we're joined by Moorabbin Wing veteran Michael Egan, who gets subbed on in place of Nick Splitter (kids) this week.
