Personally, i think I scraping into the finals would have been a vindication of a seaon that shouldn't have been seen as successful.
Sure we played tons better when we had players back but our failure to get players on the park at the start of the season cost us dearly.
I didn't think we were good enough or deserved enough to make the finals...
Maybe now the hard decisions will be made re Voss, Brooks Rix and others...
Maybe it was the right result...
The right result...

Yes, when you consider our much easier draw than in 2006, making an EF once again would have flattered our performance. In rounds 21-22 last season, we were guaranteed a place in the 8 and were still an outside chance of making the top 4.
Truth to tell, this season we lost to, or struggled to beat, teams that we thrashed last year. Eg, the Pies: watching them tonight, I'll be blowed if I can see that they have improved much on their 2006 standard. I don't expect them to beat the Swans next weekend, even though Barry Hall is only playing on one leg this year and the Swans seem to have gone backwards.
But I still would have liked to watch us go around against the Pies next weekend.

I wish they were playing the Swans but it will be the Crows IMO. I actually think they will beat them at the G.

What do you like the torture by this mob every ten years?
Midfield clearances and clear winners are needed to make an effective forward line.
You need to protect the ball handler to increase posession efficiency
