What are your expectations though? When you are up and in the top 8 every year, and top 6 almost every year, If we can finish top 4 with our best 22 healthy, we are just as good a shot as any other team.
For sure, I’m not moping about it, and definitely 100% grateful to not support perennial losers like St K and FreoThat’s true through our entire history.
We should have won more flags in the 90’s
We should have won more flags in 00’s
We should win more with this group
Imagine being St Kilda who won their first 19 games in 2009 and went into the GF with a 22-2 record for the year, won 3 out of 4 quarters and didn’t win the flag.
Imagine being Fremantle who in their only grand final are the only team to be rated by CD as the better team and to have lost the GF?
Imagine being Sydney who should have won 3 flags in the 2010’s but only won 1.
We’ve done very well, both over the course of the clubs history and in the era.
You can’t hang your head about the ones that get away.
And there is still a lot to play out this season. We’ve won 8 out of last 9.
Race for this years flag is still very much on.
