Good finish to the year, but it somehow feels shallow or empty as the Lakoseljac cup does not offer the usual progress into the FFA Cup.
So a lost opportunity as such.

Totally agree.
Winning a cup at the end of the season is a good result but I think it would have meant more with a passage into the FFA cup.
