That comment of mine you quoted was actually in response to the suggestion that anything more than 7 or 8 wins would be above expectations for 2018.
It was a bit of sarcasm...
If 7 or 8 wins are all we're looking at in 2018 then at that rate finals are well off.
In reality like you I believe things can turn quickly.
Unlike you I thought it would be this year....but it became apparent once the season started that results we're secondary to experimentation and getting games into young kids.
Whether that will prove beneficial or detrimental to some will be determined down the track.
One area of concern for me is that, also like you, I started the year with concerns about our forward line.
That concern still exists but now it's exacerbated by what has proven to be some major problems in the midfield.
This next draft/trade period is vitally important.
Whether or not we really are a destination club will be interesting to see.
