What a day
Two things today proved;
- More often than not when you keep getting knocked down AND you find a way to keep getting back up, eventually you succeed .... Cue "Tubthumping" please
- No matter what the records, what the stats or what the leadup to a game, Grand Finals are not won until the day ..... that's why you play the game.
Personally, when I took on the job as Marketing Manager at South Adelaide the one downside I knew would result is that my loyalties would now need to change.
That's life
Whilst personally there is an some inner feeling of satisfaction & relief my major emotion is to be happy for all those die-hard Eagles people I have come to know over the past years that have been to hell and back in waiting for this moment.
This especially includes guys like CD & Ron who have suffered so much but have stayed the course.
That's life
I'm not at Woodville as I have a 7am start for the South Golf Day tomorrow, a big day as it is the first time I meet many of the Panthers supporters & sponsors.
(Staggering in half tanked, with GO EAGLES tattoed to my forehead would probably not be a good career move).
Thats life
However as a tradeoff I was "volunteered" last week to be the South rep at the chimney ceremony on Tuesday. I am sure between professionally representing my club I will have the odd occassion to congratulate Ron and the boys (only because its important to be a good sport you see.)
Thats something I'll be looking forward to.
Well done Eagles
Well done to the Doggie fans who have been very sporting in defeat
Well done to Central for rebuilding themselves all the way to the Grand Final.
