Yes we had a good season, but tonite shows the Eels are still a fair way from the top 4.
I still think we will struggle in the big pressure games without a true on field leader, and my opinion is MM struggles to read or control games against top sides. Just look at the mistakes he is making tonite.

It’s not a high pressure game polkihome, we were underdogs everywhere across the board, but not good enough to win this comp even if we fluked it tonight
Mate - beaten by a top class team with all the conditions in their favour. From wooden spooners to 5th is remarkable. We are a few players short of consistently top 4 material , RCG is good addition and I think Sivo ,Brown and Blake will awesome with a full off season.
We are missing a player or two . Edge player and a great utility player .
Thanks Guys for restoring faith in our team and making the Parra brand respectful once again .
I think we all knew this was going to happen. At least we had some things to cheer about this year. Melbourne are light years ahead of us and 12 other teams.
Coming 5th seems about right. Really need to pickup our away performances next year.

The Storm curse again!! I think this will be 6-0 to the Storm in finals football.
A much better season than last year, but Parra must improve on away games and when the game isn't going your way.
Yes decent season, but beaten by the storm again. See you in 2021

Sure. Like the previous plus seasons!
We are pathetically weak and soft and have been for far too long.
Well these young blokes have learnt what it's like to flog a team in the finals & get flogged in two weeks
