I see a lot of comments comparing a round 2 or round 6 home and away game to a finals performance with the implication they are largely of equal value in the overall analysis of the players.
In other sports the regular season is highly regarded but in basketball for example the post season is seen as having a significantly higher weight or importance in future 'legacy'; playoffs, finals being more important to a random regular season game.
In association football, a world cup or fa cup final would be given greater importance to a run of the mill game domestic league game.
Or a Europe Champions league semi final, for example would be more harshly scrutinized.
Do we not give enough credit for the 'real' footy? after all most of the season in footy and other sports is just jockeying for position for the finals
