No excuses. Doggies were better on the day and deserve their shot at finals. There were a number of games that we should have won, but didn't. Hopefully the players will be hurting over the summer and be stronger next year because of this.

Yes, we should have played a depleted Adelaide, yes, we should have beaten Westies in the first encounter, yes, we should have beaten the doggies at the ponderosa. We didn't! And now we get to be September spectators...again. We need to recruit better than we did at the end of last season and come back stronger. We have an excellent coach and a good core group of players, but it still needs to be converted into results on game day .

No excuses!

Don't tell me you've forgotten the '64 premiership already?
