It changes week to week.
Hell, it changes quarter to quarter.
We are a super side for one qtr each week. Every week form one qtr have run, skill and look like a premiership side. Not sure what happens in the other 3 qtrs. Been every week the last 5 weeks.

We have to finish second to avoid that, on the MCG, Marvel we can beat anyone anytime inho but winning finals interstate is a hard ask and with a depleted list and sore players its going to be even tougher.
We just have to play fit players. Cerra and Cottrell coming back from long injury breaks was 2 too many and we lost our run. Can bring so many back and it's ok, but that was too many. Won nothing since. Conservative team selection rather than fit blokes that can run all day. West Coast were cruelled with injury in 2018 and had 5 out on GF day. Thing is they played fit blokes who could go all day and were rewarded with the flag.

We seem to win the ball a lot and play keepings off racking up stats then turn it over in dumb fashion and if you look at our stats each week we tend to dominate the teams who beat us for large parts of the game but get poor reward for our efforts..
