Let's make an assumption that 2012, was just a season of preparation for 2013.
We quickly learned that we were a long way from the hardest team to play against. So neeld, knowing that everything was on the line, made bold decisions, with the help of viney, to make this club the hardest team to play against. He knows that 2013 is the year it must be done, so it is.
It was a pity to lose moloney, but in saying that, we will have the hardest young midfield in the land.
Grimes, jones, trengove, tapscott, viney, wines, mckenzie, magner and Sylvia.
We have the toughest full forward in Clark and the hardest full back in frawley.
Howe is a freak.
We have tough honest centers halts in Dawes and McDonald and nuggetty small crumbers in Nicholson and rodan.
This is the core nucleus of hard nuts.
Add the absolute class of watts, blease and davey, and we have a structure of the hardest team to play against.
We must be aiming finals for 2013!
No more excuses.
