Hell yeah. Not just 12 wins but the improvement in our players.

Especially Seb, Hickey, Membrey, Acres.

I would have been happy with a few less, 12 is well beyond expectation. The great thing is, its easy to see where there is more improvement to be made.

Agree. I would have taken 10.
12 is well above expectations.

I'm already missing the footy & cannot wait for preseason to start. I feel like this year was similar to 2003 & that next season we'll surprise quite a few teams. Seeing the improvement in players like Acres & more recently Dan McKenzie just goes to show how little we as supporters really know. We have some very skilled players coming through. Great time to be on board. :)

Happy with the wins , YES !

but would be happier if we didn't have the multiple 10 goal losses .
or the 4 games where we just didn't bother turning up !
mind you one of those was the Richmond game where they didn't bother to turn up either .

Still it makes one look forward to the draft and next season .
Go Saintas !

Percentage was much improved this year but we need to stop those drubbings.

Was expecting 6 or 7 wins so 12 is incredible.

We need to learn how to play footy interstate and should expect more than 5 interstate games next year. Normally it's 6 or even 7.

Also, our FIXture will be significantly harder next year, so I'm not expecting much in the way of more wins in 2017, moreso less thrashings and a percentage above 100
