\n Press Conference\n <\/p>\n
\n The Cats touched down in Perth yesterday and star defender, Lawson Humphries spoke to media ahead of Geelong’s Semi-Final\n <\/p>\n
Humphries on Friday’s Final<\/p>\n
We feel like there is an expectation.<\/p>\n
We still want to play really good footy, and we still think we can win. We think if we can play our best footy, we can beat anyone.<\/p>\n
We definitely have the belief that it is a super winnable game. Obviously respect to Fremantle though, we think they are a really good side and they deserved to be the top team with the double chance of course.<\/p>\n
It is going to be a tough game, but we are also really confident that we can get the job done.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Humphries on playing in his home state<\/p>\n
Obviously super excited to be back home.<\/p>\n
Always love it, the weather is good by the looks of it, nice and warm which you don’t get as much of over in the east.<\/p>\n
But I am happy to be back, and really excited to play in front of a hostile crowd.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Humphries on learning from last week<\/p>\n
I think you always have to look at what worked for other teams, I think you would be silly not to.<\/p>\n
Fremantle have been going really well, but they lost a couple in recent times and I think it would be silly not to look at what has worked for those teams.<\/p>\n
Fremantle are a good coaching group and a good football team, so I am sure they will adapt and work on those things.<\/p>\n
But at the same time, if we can see a certain pattern, it is something that you will have to look at I think.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Humphries on Geelong’s Finals experience<\/p>\n
I think it definitely helps.<\/p>\n
Obviously a lot of guys here have won premierships. But I think the beauty for us is that a lot of us haven’t, a lot of us haven’t had that premiership yet.<\/p>\n
We are really hungry and I think we have a really healthy mix of premiership players and guys that just missed out, or weren’t around at the time. We really want to win a flag as well.<\/p>\n
I think it definitely helps, but at the same time, Freo are going to put everything into it because they have lost their last couple of Finals. They will be desperate, I know their fans, and I was a supporter growing up so I know how much it means, but they will be desperate as well.<\/p>\n
It is going to be really tough and they are going to put their best foot forward, putting everything into it as you always do in Finals. It is going to be a tough match-up.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Press Conference The Cats touched down in Perth yesterday and star defender, Lawson Humphries spoke to media ahead…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":886387,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[560],"tags":[638,64,63,55,639,85],"class_list":["post-886386","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-afl","tag-afl","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-australian-football-league","tag-australianfootballleague","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/886386","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=886386"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/886386\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/886387"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=886386"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=886386"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=886386"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
