If only we knew then what we know now....

Its incredible how fast time past.

For all the doomslayers that were and are still out there, we are still alive and breathing in a AFL dominant town.

We have had the privldege of seeing legends like Sharpie, MCaw , Carter, ... too many New Zealand, Australian and SA legends to name here, playing here "live" and plying their trade.

We may not and probably will never be the best or one of the better franchises but we have enjoyed an incredible journey and will continue to do so.

To Geoff Stooke and his team at the time a big thank you for what you did and achieved and heres too many more years of watching the game they play in heaven being played on our doorstep by some of the greatest talents of all time
