i dont think BJ is getting ahead of hiself

 

[skilbeck]

due to your clubs finances, your squad seems like it is being held together by a thread, I think that it is going to be the Jets that will have the most trouble defending their title than us ours

Hmmm, are they any other Leagues that actually have a Finals Series???

Ahhh, well that explains things. I can see why the FFA has it, as it is almost an Australian tradition, and it brings in the crowds, but I don't understand people viewing it as being more important that the Premiership.

 

[skilbeck]

This might sound stupid but is it that you can present the trophies to the team on the day of winning that might make it popularly the major prize. whereas in a premiership they might have to wait until the conclusion of the final round to award it so generally/but not always it can be a pretty low key event to present the trophies

So in essence its that people believe that the knockout format means that everything is reduced to one game whereas in leagues it can be seen to be inconclusive

There was little celebration for us when we won the 'premiership'. I guess that is the only problem when a competition is so close, you can't have the trophy ready to present to the winning club. It would have been nice to celebrate with ticker-tape and all the bells and whistles when we recieved the plate.

[skilbeck]

twice. but i take pride in the fact that we are the only team to make 2 grand finals.

but as for your comment regarding 'get an original name' ... what name are you referring to?
and do you know that buying firing up, you are just making them feel even better about it? just congratulate them. our time will come.

 

[tyson]

As I've been saying, I'm most concerned at backing up next year and becoming the first team to win 2 Premierships in a row. And then maybe doing the double.

Getting a bit ahead of yourself there dont you think?

not at all dude. that is how our club works.
i don't know how much you know about our club, and for all i know, your club could have the same plans... but the Mariners have about 4-5 feeder clubs, a youth academy with plans to make more of them, and plans to build a multi-million dollar, state-of-the-art sporting complex with fields, offices and accommodation to serve as a HQ for things like training and youth development.

with that all said... i congratulate you, your team and the rest of your fans on the victory and the noise you guys made when you took the lead.
