All teams have been inconsistent, but you can be inconsistent and still look convincing, like Port. We have scored 100 points or more the last 3 games against the Dogs - it's entirely possible that we are simply their bogey team.
For some people, "we won" is enough. For those of us who take an interest in detail, nuance and subtlety, it's not nearly enough.
I was happy to fall over the line against the likes of Geelong, at Geelong, and Essendon. They were never going to lose yesterday, they were always doing enough although I'd like to see the foot on the throat when on top, not the foot off the brake. This time last year we were 1-11 (who was that under again?...lol) and embarrassing, now 4-4 and 10 from 19. We're not going to be a premiership side overnight but right now it's great improvement as we go along the journey of maturity.
