In the light of the next day, without the emotion we all feeling immediately after the game, I have to say I'm feeling pretty ok with everything. The last three months have been phenomenal!
The better side did NOT win the GF and the best player on the ground did NOT win the Churchill Medal.
Who knows, the reality is we could be still waiting in 23 years time from now, so yes, it was a great year, but we had a chance to win and we didn't take it. I can understand people's disappointment manifesting in such ways as to blame anybody and anything they can.
Unfortunately we saved one of our worst defensive efforts for the big one.
We'll be up there again next year I hope, but as Bourbon Man says you dont get to a GF often (Storm excepted).
Last night, I believe we were beaten by the better team. Melbourne are clinical, professional and hard to beat. Some calls did not go our way, but Melbourne converted the opportunities they had and we did not. Simple as that.
However, while I do recognise that we will be better next year, I have to agree with BM on the GF point. Grand Finals are opportunities which MUST Be taken. Next year, Jarryd could have a shocker, we might lose Keating, Robson and Morts and have no attacking players. We don't know what next year will bring and thus, I can understand frustration and disappointment at this time, despite the mighty season our boys have had. :-)
I hope the boys use the pain of this loss to power them through 2010, i think next years competition will be even closer than this years. If the Eels believe that we will coast next season then we may not even compete in the finals, we will have to step up again which we definetely have the ability to do with the incoming players we are receiving. I tell you what its going to be a slowwww off season waiting for next year, I can't wait.
