While i agree we could do with another A grade mid....Same could be said of most sides....You could of said it of the 2016 Dogs. And also the 2017 Tigers(unheralded going into the season)..
Not to mention the 2005 and 2012 Swans...Even the Gaffless , Nic less Eagles this year.
To contend for a flag you need luck (particularly with injuries) , a good list, a really good complementary game plan, and a squad that totally buy into that game plan.
We mightn't have the best list, but we have a good list...IMO, it's all those other factors that will decide our fate next season.
