It wasn't rocket science GIC. Just a considered appraisal of the list and factoring in the impact of a competent coach.
I didn't pick our wins over Freo and Geelong and thought we'd beat St Kilda (twice) and Brisbane. St Kilda is clearly a little ahead of where I rated them.
Dunno about StK DJ. I wouldn't compare us to them based on how we played against them. Our 4 qtrs vs them in game 2 were utterly putrid. 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.
