I say the opposite: two months of continuous sudden-death pressure footy could have worn us out.
And if anything, we will have the unwanted weight of expectation next year. The mental pressure will be far tougher then.
The eels have played 2 months of Grand Finals and IMO with all but one game to the Dragons they played 2 months of just the most freakish sublime football ever!! Its unfortunate that we couldnt bring it together on the day that mattered most!!
At the end of the day the boys over-achieved from where they were sitting 5 months ago, now the season has finished the boys have learnt many valuable lessons
1/They believe in themselves and in each other (after 2-3 months of playing footy like they did it was no Fluke)
2/They have Hunger and Passion for their team mates and their Club
3/ They respect the coach they didnt respect Hagan!
4/ They know the feeling of what its like to lose a G/F
Next year is another year and the boys have to learn how to rise up and live up to expectations now!!!
