Another great win on Sunday against Melbourne. We are really on a great run at the moment but I must say we did look very tired at the weekend and the week off has came at a good time for us. It's hard to keep going when you're going the way we have been and it has been a great start to the season for us.

Most of us are relaxing and getting a mental break and getting away from footy and no better place for that than at Port Douglas so I can sit by the pool, relax and get mentally prepared for the back end of the season where we have some big games coming up and none more so than Collingwood at ANZ stadium in two weeks.

To be sitting in the top four on nine-and-a-half wins is a great start for us and we will all get away now, freshen up, take our minds off football and come back to Sydney next week with our hard hats on and get ready for the black and white, who in fact beat us three times last year. This is a massive game and will test us and we'll see if we can hold our own. The next month of football will define our season and we will need to be right up for it and prepared to get our hands dirty.
