It was interesting listening to ABC radio yesterday afternoon, when Stan Alves and Chris Grant rated teams on a scale of E to A on their season so far, compared to what their expectations had been at the start of the year. A rating of 'C' was the pass mark. Stan rated Melbourne as B+ and Chris rated us B. Not surprisingly, both praised our back-half and midfield, but commented that our forward set-up (primarily meaning Jack Watts) is still a couple of years away. No mention was made of the current forward line absentees, LJ or Ricky Petterd.
