Mark Thompson on the benefits of a 10-day break:
"I'm not sure whether having six or 10 days off is more beneficial. It might be, but we are not sure at the moment. Once you get into a routine of having six or seven days' recovery you get into a rhythm and we are able to cope with that. You wouldn't want to have too many 10-day recoveries."
Mark Thompson on playing Essendon without Scott Lucas:
"It does change their forward set up but it looks like their forward line is going to function okay without Lucas."
Mark Thompson on being able to experiment with players early in the year:
"At this time of the year I think most coaches and teams would have goals to play certain individuals. We've got Harry Taylor, Brent Prismall and Trent West and these people who we want to give opportunities to and we will do that."
Matthew Knights on playing the reigning premiers:
"You've got to dare to win. No matter who we play, where we play, what time it is, we believe we can win and give it a shake."
Matthew Knights on preventing Geelong from scoring heavily:
"We've got to make sure our defensive pressure's on because otherwise they will score heavily and when they do get flow going they do score heavily"
