nah. Every player who played today knows exactly how far off it they are, and it's a long way. They spend all summer knowing where they need to beI agree when you say it isn't a "bad" thing, but I don't agree that it is "substantially" better to play 1 game and get smacked.
IMO a team is very marginally, rather than "substantially" better off getting some experience in finals.
Just look at Geelong v Fremantle.... Geelong had WAAAAAY more finals experience than Fremantle... doesn't count for jack shit if you are not good enough.
So when Essendon or North or whoever play finals next, the main thing will be how good your form is going in, not whether you played finals 12 months or 24 months ago.
