Rock n' Roll Doggie FOB
My biggest regret this year was booking a flight overseas on the morning after Grand Final day. Richmond aren't supposed to make Grand Finals!!!
My celebrations were somewhat tempered as a result, and I ended up just watching the game cooped up at home, the match bookended by various odds and ends that I needed to sort out before my flight.
I did manage to wander down Swan St at about midnight and the place was absolutely rocking. The whole street shut down, with all sorts of shenanigans going on. Spent a few hours catching up with mates but managed to sneak 2 hours sleep in before heading to the airport.
Still can't believe it all happened. I'm shattered I missed the after party with the Killers, AND the PuntRoad event on the Sunday. Feel like I've missed out on experiencing the whole Occassion to its full potential.
That said, it's a marvellous achievement. A year to treasure. The comparisons with the Bulldogs are doing my head in, and there have seen some terrible scribes out there lambasting us as being the "worst premiership team ever" and "bad for football" because we didn't finish first. If you are of the latter opinion, you should really be pushing hard to delete finals football as that is essentially what you are advocating for - a first past the post scenario.
Look at our season, week by week, and you will see how good we actually are. 25 games and only 3 genuinely poor losses. We are the best team in the league. That's what Saturday was all about, to find out who that team actually is.
I'll forever have mad love for all 22 players on the park. ?[emoji169]
And Hardwick. I feel deeply, deeply embarrassed that I called for his head so incessantly 12 months ago. The bloke is a genius.
