We are well and truly in the conversation, I honestly believe we have the cattle on board now with a few minor tweaks we are in the mix and will be a very competent football side for the foreseeable future. We need most of this team to stay and build on.Agree on most of that.
Not sure why people are so readily buying into Melbourne.
I thought they had a soft underbelly and beat up on a hapless Geelong and underwhelming hawthorn.
Eagles exposed them.
We beat them too.
I'd think on balance we were a worthy 3rd side.
Because of our brutal team ethic we gained a GF spot then held on for grim life almost..... but not quite.
I think the group coming through, now playing the needed 50 + games is the future.
That group, the emergence of Sier, Stephenson, we certainly have something.
As always we do need some extra A grade talent.
Hopefully the one I've earmarked, Murphy, shows us some real high level play.
This year Stephenson changed the whole dynamic. Those things a club turns towards the good.
Just need to build on our best talent: Grundy, Pendlebury, De Goey, Sidebottom, Treloar,
Then get fully fit Elliott and Moore.
Build with the rest of them....
We're certainly getting there.
