We know people hate us, that’s fine.
The season was a different one and certainly there were couple of sides that were right off the pace but North Shore, UNSW and our side were three of the better PD sides in many years I would say. Winning a flag and having to beat two of those teams to do it was a big ask, and that’s no knock on Saints either who were very good in their finals victory as well. The finals I was at - UNSW x 2 and the Prelim - were three of the tightest, evenly matched games I’ve seen in a long time in Sydney. Shame the wind ruined the second half on Saturday though!
Interesting to see what shakes out next year - I’d be fairly confident we won’t be in the VFL, but who knows what the season will look like. Probably the ten clubs and an 18 round comp but you just never know.
