The game showed a few things:
Fish is stop-gap only. Sad to lose a servant who battled through the Pagan era, but we've gotta move fwd.
Pfieffer is very average skills wise, and decision making is ordinary. Can't see a future.
Thornton was in cruise-mode and has been for a few weeks. Improved a bit in the 3rd when game was over, but shirked it a few times in the 1st half. If Setanta comes back, he's not in our best backline.
Missed Scotto's run and dare I say it, Carrot's ball winning ability (although what he would have done with it is debatable). Eddie would have been handy to chase and harrass Hodge.
JR..........well he's JR is all I can say (make your own mind up whichever side of the JR fence you sit on)
We're exactly 2 years behind the Dawks, which means we may play them in 010 Grannie, if Geelong fade a bit of course.
Ando was good, and think he'll make it. He IS a part of our best backline.
Overall a shite way to finish what was a much improved year. Can see us winning 12-13 next year and making the 8.
