Bevo's comments were at the start of 2015 when he looked at a very young team on paper. Once we started winning in 2015, he was pretty happy with the team and thought we could go all the way.

I don't believe anyone at the club thinks we FLUKED it - if they do then they have the wrong attitude. I for one did not read that in Grant's or Bob's articles. We were one of the youngest teams to win a Grand Final, so in a way it was unexpected to a certain extent.

About 2016 people keep talking about an amazing 4 weeks in the finals - which it was, but never about the 7 games we lost. Of those 7 games we were only soundly beaten in one match (Geelong at Etihad). In the other 6 we were more than competitive losing several by around a goal but none more than 3 or 4.
