    2020 season - The positives

    I'm as annoyed as anyone after the loss yesterday but there were a number of positives for the season I'd like to call out and discuss.

    Players

    Bailey Williams - 12 months ago he was struggling to get a contract. This year he returned to some excellent and consistent form averaging 16.6 disposals over 18 games. He was a poised user of the football and really slotted into the backline well

    Should he be moved into a more midfield role in 2021 given our surplus of defenders?

    Mitch Wallis
    - Really adapted to his role in the forward line and frequently hit the scoreboard. He kicked 25 goals and was a vital component of our forward line. His possession level halved from previous season but he found a way to make a solid contribution

    Bailey Smith - A sensational 2nd season where is stats averages increased from the previous season even with the reduced quarters playing time. He slowed down a bit at the end of the season but it's hard not to get excited about him

    Alex Keath - Had a grand season for us and adapted well to a new role as a 1 v 1 defender than his more natural game as an interceptor. While his stats we well down on his efforts with the Crows last year he had to adapt to a more defensive than creative role with his. Typically uses the ball so well

    Laitham Vandermeer - Had an exciting season for us as a pressure half forward where his pace and intensity were noticeable traits. In 12 games he managed to kick 9 goals and he will be very much in the planning for the 2021 season

    Lachie Hunter - Bounced back from two major challenges this year to be a terrific contributor for us.

    Tom Liberatore - There were some questions marks on what sort of force Liberatore could be this year year but his performances were first rate. He still offers us plenty for 2021

    On Field attributes

    Marcus Bontempelli and his captaincy
    - An excellent debut season as the captain and he handled the media requirements like a seasoned veteran.

    What were some of the other positives for us in 2020?
