Last Game Tomorrow

What a turbulent year we've had down at the Yarra's in season 2012.

Let's start back in November:

• we had a coach all lined up and even announced it on our website but at the last minute he did a runner to another club for more money and let us know via email - yep great bloke.
• of our senior team that finished a skeric out of the finals in 2011, we only had 3 returning players for 2012 with some retiring, some changing clubs and some chasing cash
• on the plus side we completely turned around our average age from 30 to 24 - 25 years old.
• we only appointed our senior coach in January 2012 so a lack of continuity was always going to be our most major hurdle in 2012
• suffered some crushing defeats in the first half of the year while we had 30 new players all trying to gel together at the same time - unheard of!!
• in the middle of the year we started to get it together and after a very encouraging effort against one of the top 3 teams as of right now, we were on the improve but still chasing our first win
• along comes round 15 and after 14 straight losses, including a 1 point heartbraker 2 weeks earlier, we finally break through for our first win with an inspired 54 point win - great feeling!!
• we have played 44 - 45 blokes in the seniors this year - again unheard of!!!!

So now it's come to the last game and we;re are starving off relegation to division 3 where we need to win our last game but we are also needing things to go our way in another game % wise.

We have our 2nd strongest team for the year on paper in tomorrow and with absolutely no pressure on us, we are ready to go at it harder then we have so far this year.

Well I am anyway.

So lets hope that the football god's shine on us tomorrow and if we can starve off relegation in the last month of the year with 2 wins and an increase in %, then I tell you what, we will have deserved it!!
