Whilst it was a much improved and exciting year, had we won the games we we're red hot favourites in (Essendon and Carlton at the G) we would've played finals in 2016 based on the below scenario:
Essendon round 2- Their average losing margin was 51 points. Had we put in an average performance and won by 30 points.....,
Carlton round 22- their average losing margin was 30 points. Had we put an average performance and won by 18 points...,,AND
Geelong round 23 - their average winning margin was 42 points. Had we put in an average performance and lost by 42 points ...,,.
We would've played finals this year!!
I hope this sticks in the guts with the likes of N Jones and Co and we ensure we win these MCG games that we're supposed to.
