Let me remind us all that Kearney did say that his 'process' is a three year one and 2019 will be the third year. So according to Stephen (who had a good year last year might I add) next year should see us do really well (e.g. semi-grand finalists).
A lot of lessons to be learnt from this year, such as, the STUPID idea to field our top team against the Raiders which resulted in RTS and Mannering getting injured but hey, many here we're looking at 'IF we win and IF we win by this then MAYBE...' a lot of IFs and MAYBEs is what we went all in on in that Raiders game. In the end, I can say, I told you so but hey thats Kearneys call and he wouldve learnt from that.
