I'm sure after then end of the finals we will debate whether we feel this year was a success or not.
I thought that it would be good to reflect our thoughts on our current team / form compared to this time last year prior to the finals.
It's easy to look at where we finished (2nd v 6th) to say we have gone backwards this year.
However, in my opinion I feel better about our team now and our potential moving into the next few years. Reasons:
1. Last year we took a lot of teams by surprise (eg Nicho new to halfback so teams could do minimal review / plan etc). Even Fitz appeared surprised by our attack.
2. We have a better balanced side now with Trindall / Hynes with even more potential with Dykes next year.
3. The last month or so we have stared to show patience by playing grinding football first before throwing the ball around
4. Have bled some new talent to replace old players from last year (eg Tom, Jessie replacing Andrew, Tolman etc)
5. More players in career best form (Ramien, Nikora, Kennedy, Tracey, Williams)
