Losing Nick is a big blow, but it gives other players in the squad an opportunity to show us what they can do.

Jamie's been trialing with us for a little while now and he's looking sharper each time he takes to the training pitch.

Ante has always shown that he is a big-game player. He can go through a match doing nothing and all of a sudden produce a world-class goal that wins the game.

We don't want to let them down and I'm confident we're more than capable of grinding out a result against Adelaide, even if it isn't very pretty.

I do believe we are good enough to cope with him.

We had some great one touch football and we opened them up a few times and just that final pass let us down. Hopefully next week some of those stick.
