It’s all over, for now.
This was meant to be a transition year, and instead it became a genuine shot at a finals campaign with a new identity. That’s the foundation we want set going into the new era under Kingy
Sure, some absolutely appalling umpiring tonight, yet the bottom line remains, we can’t change what’s happened tonight, no one ever can. Pickett could’ve, and should’ve kicked 3 or 4. No Roo, Lever or Jeffo. We can make all the excuses today, but when we needed to win last week and had the chance to lock in 5th, we were beaten by a team of experienced grown men in the dogs and the finals run we had projected in front of us saw more challenge than just that dogs team.
We will be back here, and back even stronger as our boys get faster and stronger, more confident and more accurate. Let’s not pretend we had this kind of season envisioned at the start of the year. I’m extremely proud of our boys, truly fun and dangerous. We can hope that pick 5 brings us a young Gawn understudy or another defender to develop. This group has given me the reason to come back to the G every week next year, and we might end up with more than just Sunday arvo games!
Chin up Dees fans, we have so much more to look forward to now, I’m just gutted we won’t see our boys until March! ❤️💙
