We didn't get an easy FIXTURE -
We only played two top four sides twice, yeah, sure, but;
Played in WA, SA, FNQ, Sydney, Canberra, China, Southern Tasmania, and regional Victoria.
No easy matches these days and we've spent the entire season fielding sides with 14-15 players unavailable.
For two of these road trips we have had to make several late changes due to gastro.
St Kilda are like Guiness - we don't travel at all well, and to agree to be sent to China is the worst think that could've been agreed to. Add to that the trip to tropical Townsville and I reckon we have done very well to win 8 matches.
I thought 9 wins at the beginning of the year - but that was before the injuries and players being made unavailable kicked in after the pre-series.
If we win tomorrow, which I think we will, then I believe the club have reached maximum potential for the season 2019.
