St Kilda Ross Lyon A
Sydney John Longmire C
West Coast Adam Simpson D-
Western Bulldogs Luke Beveridge D-

I don't think you're far away from my estimations there AE. Scott I'd have higher than an F (E?), Simpson a C-, Bevo a C (expected them to only just scrape into finals anyway, so my expectations weren't that high). Others, spot on.

We could have gone gone back to back and Armchair Farqhuit would still have had a crack at the Cats. Not sure how you are supposed to win matches with half the team in the medicos. One of the strengths of 22 is that we could manage our old list. We couldn't do that this year and we ran out of gas. No pass for Scotty but at least a D. If anyone deserves an F at Catland it's probably those in charge of the physical preparation. The management of Cam Guthrie in particular was very poor. Good AF would be handing out F's to the boot studders and the fellows in the hardhats throwing the ball back. Not too sure what the Catters have done to hurt him but we sure do live rent free in that empty head of his.

You can't have the oldest list to ever grace the planet and then expect to have a good run with injuries. Is never going to work like that when you have so many blokes over the age of 30....

You cant blame the medical team for age catching up with seasoned footballers.
