Done it the hard way

[sks023]

When I look at the teams above us It makes me think STK have handled the hub better than anyone else
PORT - Played on their home deck for a good chunk of the season
LIONS - Have played most of their games in Bris
West Coast- Run of seven or so at home
GEELONG - Played a lot of games early at home

Big effort by the club to get to this point

good points.

Top teams slept in their own beds.

Apart from the fith and girlong games we were competitive with the other 15 teams, ten of which we beat.

Embraced it from the start like it was an adventure

It's not so bad for a bunch of young blokes living and training in Noosa during a very cold Melbourne winter.

Probably more difficult for older coaching/admin people with families.

Exactly. For the young single bloke, an all expenses holiday at a 5 star resort has been thoroughly welcomed and enjoyed. Has set the AFL back $60 million.

Many complained on here early on about us going to Noosa, but I think it's pretty clear that we won out in the hub situation. The club loved it.

I'm also very keen to see us back playing under the roof next year, we were very good there at the start of this season and I think we could turn it into a real fortress for us.
