I am tired of hearing everyone talk about this being the end of an era. Maybe I am in denial, but I don't believe it.
It is not like we scraped in to the top 4 and went out in straight sets. We are still a dominant force of the competition.
Our vision was sustained success, a genuine era. Now is not the time to throw everything out the window and rebuild as other clubs have in the past. Now is the time to show the balls we have in the past and continue with our plan. We began the transition to the new generation this year and will continue it next year. We will come back stronger, fitter & smarter and we will have the chance for another flag next year.
This loss should not be looked as the end of an era, rather, the moment which will define it. Next year we have the opportunity to stand up and show everyone that we are not finished. We have not got to where we are by doing what others have done. We have made our own path. We had the balls to build a successful team without bottoming out. We developed a game plan against everything which was being done at the time. We dared to dream and we have made history. Next year our journey continues and we will show the comp once again that we truly are the greatest team of all.
- We finished 2 points off the top of the ladder with the best percentage by a fair margin
- We have an incredibly talented list that has been the envy of the comp for the past 4 years
- We got some games in to some genuinely talented kids
- We missed out on another grand final by 1 game
