IN MY experience, most clubs use one of two primary measures of success for their season – 1. Achieving success in the finals or 2. Having a better win-loss record than last year.
With this in mind, there’s a bittersweet feeling as we approach the end of the home and away season.
The bitter side is that in Round 21, no one likes to be talking about their own mathematical probability of making it into the finals. We have a good playing list, so our collective inability to put enough wins on the board at league level to have earned a decent look at it is disappointing.
The upside is that on a number of levels, we’re already better than we were last year.
