No.
We just beat lowly sides. Cant match it with top sides and have a perennial lack of durability. Not there yet.

Brisbane have form for blowing big leads. I wouldn't take too much from that last quarter.

Agree....its a long season and we need our full compliment offrontline troops in to compete even vs the bottom teams, we dont have the depth and its something for the list management team to work on. Players like Martin are now just passengers burning a hole in our salary cap and we have to bring in more robust competitive types who can play a near full season and not miss a third of the games every year.

Agree...just junk time for me and the Lions just coasted until they had to kick a few late to put us out of our misery.

Roller coaster game.
Roller coaster season.

We have a situation where we have key players
-out injured e.g. Hewett, Kennedy
-buggered from carrying extra loads e.g  Silvagni, Doc, Young, TDK
-struggling to regain form after returning from injury e.g. Weitering, Pittonet, Marchbank
Add to that some extra tactics and attention to counter prime movers like Saad and Doc have come into play.

Getting continuity and cohesion in that situation is a difficult task.
The only surprising thing is ....that folks are surprised.

We beat Sydney and Fremantle this year.

Can't say we've only beaten crap sides

We need to beat 1 more good side to have any credibility this season.

Good summary.
GiC  myself and a few others aren't surprised. I'd add the impact of all the changes to your list. Building stumps to CEO, Coahes, game plan and everything in between. Very little comes naturally in these scenarios because it's still being taught/learned and integrated. Subsequently, we face a challenge that’s beyond us. Demands outweigh resources unfortunately.

Travelling is an area we need to improve in, the good interstate teams are much harder at home and to be a successful team we need to start winning more on the road.

We also lost to Freo. Swans was a good win.
