    3 or more things we already know, but no one will do anything about.

    1. We won't play a seasoned ruck
    2. We won't play more than one key defender
    3. We think one key forward with 6 games experience as a key forward is a good idea
    4. We can't fix our goal kicking
    5. Our MC smoke something bad before the selection meeting

    6. Sorry to steal more, but we won't use a stopper or tagger in real time to stop players dominating the centre and clearances.

    1.2016 was a fluke. A glorious, beautiful fluke, but a fluke nonetheless.
    2. We are unable or unwilling to fix our VFL 2s level kicking.
    3. Our so-called leadership group should surrender half their pay for the season. We don't have anyone that says "Nah, stuff this, I'm not putting up with this shit". Not one. We have triers, sure, but leaders? I'd have to look up who they are.
    4. I thought losing to GC was the worst. I was wrong.
    5. I can't count.

    Based on evidence of the 3 years since, it's the only conclusion I can reach.

    Well it is a ridiculous conclusion. Which game was a fluke. 1,2,3 or 4. Or were they all flukes. We are all hurting after today but that is crazy talk.

    To each his/her own. If it was just today, I wouldn't have said it.

    Again, not in the mood. It, like everything on this forum, is an opinion.

    I don’t agree that it was a fluke. You play against great sides in the finals and we took up the challenge in 2016 and succeeded.

    Dont think it was a fluke, but i think we've really overated the team.

    Yeah we were an average team that just had a great month of football.

    Better than average Chef. At the end of the season we finished with 15 wins and 7 losses and 2 games off top position. If that is average give me more please.

    So including finals we won 19 games for the season and had a horror run with injuries. Fluke? That’s crazy talk.

    No doubt we had a great season, but it wasnt a great team as shown by the bigger sample size.
