Good on Mike jumping on the bandwagon lol.
Hasn't it been since the top 8 was introduced in 1994 that two sides go in/out of top 8 the following year? This year the Dogs and Saints replaced Port and the Eagles. And one of the current top 4 will drop out and one of the sides outside the top 8 now will finish top 4 next year.
As much as it would be great to finish top 4 next year and we'll finish the second half of this year at 8-3, I think Brisbane have a more mature list than us. They lost (choked) 7 games by less than 3 goals. We're still a few years off with the main of our new core still 22 y.o. and under.
