This year has been wonderful with really only horrible games against Port and Hawthorn and a half a match against Carlton.

McVeigh has been superb. Big Mal and the huge performance of Ryder has allowed Flecth to be a magician. Lucas has also been superb. McPhee has also been very good.

Loved the look of Houli and Jetta and can't wait to see Hislop and Gumbleton.

I like Kepler Bradley and he's having a horror of a year, however I commend him by the way we always see him either in the best or with goals against his name for Bendigo. I shows at least his attitude is right and although in the minority I think he'll make it - I hope it's here and not elsewhere.

Hopefully we'll stay competitive and keep having a dip like the first 12 games and you never know your luck.

Whatever happens though, and I think we'll keep Sheeds, this year will be a great lauching pad for better stuff next year. I think our future is looking good.
