Really don't know where we are at. Beat Richmond, who have shown they are off the mark. Beat bulldogs, who have shown thy aren't really at their peak. Beat Dawks who have shown they are pretenders. Lost to GC because we saved our worst performance to date for them. Now we've beaten Port who are 5 and zip. Still not sure if we've improved or just been lucky.
Exactly how I’m feeling. I think we have improved we are deeper in the midfield and have solid forward targets but still we can’t be relied upon to put a side on the ropes away and the better teams do this.
Apart from round one win the other 3 have had big swings and could have easily gone the other way so while I’m pleased to get another win I’m not as optimistic as many and imo we will need to improve on what we have seen to make finals.
Todays performance would not get us the points against any of the other top 8 teams and many outside the 8.
Take the points and move to next week. Freo in Perth is a tough game and will tell us a lot imo.
