Following a win over Kangaroo Flat and competitive showing against South Bendigo in their previous two games, the Magpies last week copped a 141-point hiding off Strathfieldsaye.
On Saturday they return to their home deck at Camp Reserve to host Gisborne in what’s Jarryd Graham’s 100th game for the club.
“We were really disappointed with last week… the couple of weeks preceding that we had got ourselves back on track,” Filo said on Friday.
“We fell back into some bad habits last week and Strath was able to get hold of us.
“All the boys are really keen to atone this week after a step backwards last Saturday.
“Hopefully, getting back on our home ground can give us a bit of an advantage that we can make the most of.”
