I can understand people being a bit annoyed at the inconsistency but I just can't cop people coming in here and saying they are disappointed with a 7-4 record. Consider this:
On average the bookies rated us a 41% ($2.46) chance of winning the games we have. i.e. Our AVERAGE win has been less than a 50% prospect. Now I get that we have lost to some poor sides (avg odds in a loss is 67% or $1.49) but surely (Shirley!) that is made up for with wins over port (otherwise undefeated), Freo and Sydney (both seen pre-season as impossible tasks).
Overall, we have won 7 of our 11 games (64%) when according to the bookies we should have won 5 (47%).
This time last year we were 4-7 and 13th on the ladder. I'd much rather be where we are now
