WHAT a season! A week on from the GF and the pain of the loss goes on, but I feel a wee bit better with each day that passes (Another day closer to having another go!
)2009 gave me so much enjoyment that I refuse point-blank to write it off as a "failure"...I prefer to look at it as a setback in the ongoing struggle!
The laughs and fun that I had meeting up with my pals at the match have given me memories to treasure.
The football served up to us by the team was at times simply superb!
The attitude of the administration and the Coaching staff has been one of "quietly going about the business of improving our club" for this I want to say a massive Thank you!
To the folks on the Moorabbin Wing who I popped up to see during the course of the season, YOU ROCK! It was so much fun sitting with you all (for the magpies game in particular!)
To the Mods and posters on the Forum...What can I say? Whenever I get to feeling low about the Saints, all I have to do is come on here and check out some of the posts, I usually end-up laughing and realizing that having pals to share the joy and pain with is half the fun of being a Sainter!!!
There are So many people I wanted to tip my hat to, but dont have the space here to do it, so I know folks wont mind me naming one guy who has made such a difference to the experience of supporting the Saints, and that's Michael who does a magnificent job in organizing tix and keeping us all informed...GOOD ONYA MATE!
I'm posting this because I'm signing-off for the year. My "darlin companion" Mrs Jigging has been so supportive of me during this "year of the Saints" and has patiently taken on the role of "Footy widow" I now intend to give my lovely Wife the attention she deserves.
I will be popping on to see "whats what" but for now will not be posting anything on the forum (unless its an announcement that I've won Lotto and the drinx are on me
)To all my pals on the forum and at the match..have a great off-season!
Enjoy the summer, stay healthy, be proud of your team and the way that you've supported them. I hope to see as many of you all at the family day as I can!!
Sending love to all
