Another champion the club is about to send on his way without a premiership medallion.

Yep. No flag but went close twice. He should be proud of that.

Footy clubs just aren't all about winning flags.

What a great concise video, summarised with a well sculptured poem. The temptation was to put together a very long piece, which would have tended to water down the message.

It sounds like the guy from The Castle and Toyota ads - Stephen Curry.


As ex-president Peter Summers said:
“If we are going to be a contender, we may as well plan to win the bloody thing.”
