If you're comparing the Suns and reckon they're better than us, we must be rubbish. Here's the thing, a balanced argument would be that we're better than 4 teams that are below us and considerably worse that 13 teams above us on the ladder. From all accounts most think we've gone backwards not only with Ross in charge but with our recruiting. This season more than any while we've been smashed against the top 2 juggernauts of the AFL ( Brisbane was an anomaly), we've beaten Rich ( at the G), Melb ( at the G), Dogs and Essendon who are all finals contenders. At the start of the season, no one would have backed Freo in those games. That's a positive in my books.
