Very sensible and balanced post .Before the season started the “Bookies” only had three teams less likely to win the flag (Eagles, Hawks and Kangas). Almost all the AFL “experts” had us in the bottom Six. Even most of the Adelaide Bigfooty “experts” had us in the bottom Six.
I thought we would finish around 10th and I have seen no compelling reasons to change my view. Yesterday was a poor effort, something that happens from young teams playing away matches. If we win one of the next two games (a big IF) we are a good chance to make the Eight.
The key thing is increasing the AFL experience of MM, Murray, Hinge, Soligo, Rachele, Thilthorpe, Jones and Pedlar. Another big test this week!
Actually made me feel less despondent about yesterday's loss.
I lose perspective when we play that badly.
