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.I still think with fit players its a tough job beating those teams at home and made more difficult in finals, you have to be top 2 or 4 at worst to give yourself a second chance. 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..
