I think we have still improved from last year, and have now got a few more kids who have proven that they will be up to the level required.

Yes, we've lotst more games and had a few disappointing ones - but we also had a very poor finish to last season and got absolutely belted in our perhaps biggest game of the year against the Hawks.

Higgins and Griffen have both had better years, Boyd has improved again, Harbrow has, Minson has, Picken is a great pick up and not many have gone backwards.

We probably haven't improved as much as the Saints (perhaps an obvious comment - but I'm still confident we have the cattle to beat them at our best) but we are heading in the right direction.

A fit Murph, Higgins and Gia plus Gilbee and a fitter Cooney, who isn't far off being back to his best, and Saturday night could have been a different story.

Rocket talked about this on Sunday. Despite having less wins than the same time 12 months back he believes we are in a far better position 12 months on.

I hope is right come first week of the finals. That was almost as bad as i've ever felt at the footy last year against the Hawks.
