Which team has shocked you with their form this year? Has someone done much better than you expected? The biggest shock could include an underperforming team as well?
Probably North Ballarat have surprised me, just the way they seem to have gelled together to be a real shot at a double chance. Their recruiting looked good pre-season but they've played some great footy.
My selection; Most improved team: North Ballarat/ Stand alone - Under performed: Bendigo/ Essendon.
The recuitment and performance of the Roosters have impressed greatly this year.
I guess Springvales poor form has been a bit a surprise. The catchcry off "never write off the scorpions" hasnt held true for 2004.
I forgot about Springvale/St.Kilda, their performance has been fair dinkum unbelievable.
Springvale would have be the most disappointing side but maybe it has been a long time coming. They've had limited depth on their VFL list for a few years now and from a distance St.kilda have treated the alignment as a "plaything" right from the start. Frankston may also consider themselves to be a disappointment as they are often so close.
North Ballarat are the obvious choice for the surprise packet of the season. Just reckon they may struggle come finals time.
