We've had our share if top draft picks, top performance bloke, etc. If we were, we'd be placed differently. Dees, Dogs, Swans are showing what I was hoping ? for this far into our rebuild. Alas... looking like another honourable year.Just have to hope we have a catalyst year where we really improve at a greater rate than other teams. I think we have improved but when teams like the Swans who should be bottoming out are suddenly back in the finals fray it shows how hard the comp is.
Geelong are another who should be struggling like Hawthorn after being through a long cycle of finals appearances but just keep staying competitive. It becomes a real grind to make inroads up the ladder when other teams are not playing their part and taking their turn at the bottom.
