What went right.  Mullet and Morris trades
What went wrong.  TV, Dylan & Axl injuries
Who stepped up.   Edwards &  Tucky
Who disappointed.  10 mins of football in last quarter over 4 games
Overall more upside than downside.  "D"
Biggest blunder.  Tie between Derickx and McGuanne
Biggest High.  Jack and his Coleman
Worst low.  GC
One the home front....2 busted tv remotes and 4 fooffer valves blown

How did you rate our season all up? 8 / 10
Great year Boys were in every game
Midfield: Lids move in there made us elite Ivan was a god send
Forward line : Pathetic and even Jack at times was dismal Edwards  showed  some promise glad to see the end of  Miller
Back line : Superb i really thought no Lids back there we would  struggle but Rance , Morris and co were great 
What went right? Everything off field and most of our recruits , increased win /loss ratio and games into Conca, Ellis,Griffiths ,Post and  co also big kudos to our midfield ( not Dusty though  )
What went wrong? Thought Dusty's skill use dropped off a lot this year , Miller and A Maric  showed why they used to play for Melbourne and our 2nd quarters frustrated me more than the close losses
Who surprised/stepped up this year? Edwards was pretty decent up forward. Morris and Maric pleasantly surprised me 
Who disappointed ? Beefcake -_-  Nahas -_- White -_-  Derickx -_- Webberly -_- Mc Spud and also to Taylor,Heslin and Mc Donald good riddance

How did you rate our season all up? gave us a five, the close losses cost us finals. And although I wasn't expecting finals some of those losses were simple unacceptable (btw I include the "draw " last week as a loss.

What went right? we were competitive in eveqry game. So not getting smashed was a massive positive, our improved percentage a positive, off field we've got things very right with sponsors singed up long term. The FTF has been a success. Player wise we got that Maric trade spot on

What went wrong? those bloody losses  ;D starting with the eagles game was the most costly loss of the season for me. Seeing grimes go down again, ditto Foley

Who surprised/stepped up this year? Edwards, Morris, Maric, Tuck

Who disappointed? Post, jackson (again), Graham, Vickery

Best win? Hawthorn with st Kilda a close second

Worst loss? as mentioned the Eagles game with the Freo at the G debacle not far behind

Season highlight? Cotchin moving into the category of ELITE player in thee comp

How did you rate our season all up? 5/10. Not good enough. We are better than 12th. We made improvement and were competitive every week which is fantastic. Next year that's not enough, time for finals.

What went right? Ivan Maric trade + Steve Morris. Also not getting smashed was good

What went wrong? Losing close games we should have won. Grimesy and Foley getting injured + retirement of Milzy

Who surprised/stepped up this year? Grigg, Maric, Edwards, Morris & Tuck (he didn't surprise me but he certainly stepped up)

Who disappointed? Daniel Jackson, Chris Newman, Ty Vickery & forward coach Williams

Best win? Hawthorn

Worst loss? Gold Coast

Season highlight? Chimp being Chimp

How did you rate our season all up? 5 out of 10. Did not get thrashed once. Always in the hunt but lost games we should have won and didn't bury sides when should have.

What went right? Competitive in every game. Recruitment of Maric and Morris

What went wrong? Injuries to King, Vickery, Grimes and Foley etc. Inaccurate kicking. Fowardline structure. Lack of composure at critical moments in a game. Lack of depth

Who surprised/stepped up this year? Edwards

Who disappointed? Post, jackson

Best win? Hawthorn but it was great to beat sides like St. Kilda and the Bulldogs that we hadn't beaten for ages

Worst loss? Freo or Suns game

Season highlight? Cotchin, Tuck, Deledio and Maric all had great years. Grigg and Morris also had very good years as well
