THE pride, passion and 2007 finals hopes of the Tassie Devils will be on the line when Tasmania takes on the Coburg Tigers in their round seven VFL clash at Bellerive Oval tomorrow.
Coming off last week's humiliating fifth-straight loss to Werribee and crisis meetings during the week, Devils coach Daryn Cresswell said yesterday that he was happy with the commitment his players had shown during a tough week on the training track.
"It's been a tough week for everyone including the players, and they aren't happy with the position we're in," he said.
"We've approached things a bit differently this week and have concentrated on the defensive side of our game with a lot of tackling and physical pressure in the hope we can turn around our poor performances this week.
"This is a must-win game - if we do not win this game, we will not play finals footy."
Cresswell said he had spoken to his leadership group this week about lifting their performance.
