The idea that being pleased with the effort of a side as inexperienced as ours up against the benchmark of the comp is accepting mediocrity is odd.Love to agree but as you can see on the whole topic we are in love with mediocrity. But for a bit of class and a marking forward we were in it to win it today. Bloody disappointing unless we are the long term level of the saints and demons, standard is our true test.
I think it’s actually more just rationale, for where we are at.
We knew a long time before the season started that we’d be looking for little nuggets within games that showed we were on the right path, and today against the flag favorite we held sway for large sections of the game.
