A failure we can learn from.

St Kilda had their chance for a Flag in 2009 & 2010. Dees haven't even been in the finals since 2006. We were the first club, suffering the longest flag drought. If there's a movie featuring an AFL underdog, it should be about us. St Kilda is my second team so I understand the appeal. But my heart beats true.

Demons minus McDonald and Viney. Yes, I think it could have gone better for us today. But a complete failure?? I guess you don't rate the Cats at all. They'll be finishing outside the 8 right?

It was a 3 point loss to Geelong in Round 1. It wasn't embarrassing. It wasn't a bad, low scoring performance. We lost by more to Geelong last year. I'm not saying it was a good day for us. But it wasn't a bad day for us. Max Gawn's miss HURT, but it wasn't "depressing". I know following this club is hard. But our year isn't defined today.

Great game! I was there and was enthralled throughout. Cats had the muscle but we fought back to get into the contest. A straight kick from Gawn would have won us the game but it was not to be. A 3 point loss is a loss for sure, but Geelong are a first class team and coming up a little short in round 1 isn't the defining moment of our season. Looking forward to what's ahead, and am still appreciative that the dark days of 2013 are behind us.
