The Lions are now two points behind the Hawks on the ladder while Adelaide and Melbourne sit just a further four points back with their games yet to come this weekend. Mitchell made no bones that Friday’s display wasn’t good enough and his team were well beaten, with the challenge now being to show the AFL world that performance was a one-off. “We’re better than that and we’re going to have to prove it,” Mitchell said. “By the end of this round we’ll be sitting third on the ladder, coming into two games to go, playing Collingwood on a Saturday night. “So by the time we lick our wounds and spend a couple of days being annoyed at looking backwards, pretty quickly we’ll recognise that we’re a good side and ready to move forwards.”
