A great season in my opinion. We lost just four games, all to teams that played in Finals, and three against Preliminary finalists. We showed character and resilience throughout and fell just short when it mattered against a very good opponent on a night where we were far from our best.
The rating of this year though will be judged in the context of future seasons. We must continue to improve and preferably find better avenues to goal. Footy is becoming a painful game to watch across the league. Personally I think we contributed to this over the last few weeks by playing heavily defensive football. It certainly made sure we were very competitive in finals, but I’d like us to find a better balance with our offence. I’m hopeful that the development of our young forwards will help in that regard.
