I'd usually accept and believe the drawback about not being battle hardened. It was certainly true during the 2016-18 period. There were some great moments but I really never had the confidence we could take out the premiership. I would include 2010 as well, a second place finish but not close to a contender.
There is a clear difference this year. The team wants to finish the job in regular matches. There is a steel in the side that wasn't there under Griffin. We aren't certain to win the comp but we are 100% a chance unlike previous years. Its IMO our best year of football since 2004.
Quality over quantity. We don't have a lot of experienced players but the guys that are there have either won premierships or played/won rep games.
