Overall I am happy with 4th. That is a goal the team set and achieved and that Ernie has talked about constantly even while we held first place. Were goals reset during the season to say we are now targeting a top 2 finish? I can not really recall us doing so publically. If that is the case we got exactly what we aimed for and kind of reflects our underwhelming finish to the season
I'm not happy.
This is a team that could realistically have sewn up 2nd place a game or two ago. Other than the Tards I don't think any other team is significantly better than us. Yes the aim was to make the finals and 4th spot at the beginning of the season, but as a team we know we are much bettter than that.
All top 4 teams could say that though. Adelaide were 2nd 3 rounds ago.
Yeah, fair point that - every other team has stumbled; even Victory against Newcastle. Unfortunately we stumbled one too many times yesterday. This last 4 weeks hasn't reflected our season, which is why I think people are frustrated.
