A VFL would have made a better fist of it. We continued those 4 shockers with another 2 vs Bris. Rectified that in the 3rd and 4th and played 4 solid qtrs vs Melb. Prior to the StK game, we played really well vs WC, Syd and Haw and unfortunately couldn't carry that form vs a side closer to us. What it would have taught our group was what they need to bring week in week out if you want success in the AFL.
I think that St Kilda's development is a little more advanced in that they are more consistent. Our best is probably as good as the Saints but our worst is really bad. I am expecting more consistent footy from us next year as well as an improved list from both development and informed drafting/trading. I'm not sure that St Kilda will continue to progress, at least at the same rate.
