What annoys me about last nights Grand Final is that, on paper, neither of those sides are better than ours - except that they have a quality halfback and don't carry any passengers.
We're doing something about the halfback situation with Orford joining us. I just hope the coaching staff start to select players based on their self belief and desire next year. We can't afford to carry no-hopers that are big on potential and very short on delivery.
Lets not forget the following:
Against this year's Premiers we:
1. Beat them very easily at their home ground in the trials.
2. Beat them easily at Brookvale with a weakened side.
3. Lost heavily to them at Lechardt and kick started their winning run.
Against this year's runners up we lost controversially in the last minute at Brookvale.
Even with a ****ty halfback and a pea for heart forward we got close to both sides. The difference was we didn't believe we could win in the latter half of the year and captain calamity couldn't rally the troops enough to make them show any modicum of desire.
Makes you wonder, doesn't it?
