Thats the way their mindset should be for next season after an improving year for this side. The year was punctuated by so many things. The year started off terribly with a dissapointing 8 goal loss to broadbeach and they would have been thinking they were going to roll them in the first game of the year and they were totally out classed by their midfield and the coach. Things weren't looking to great and luckily after a massive scare in the third quarter the hornets comfortably accounted for the magpies and they din't look to flash in that game and the coach had to be coaxed into giving his chargers an all mighty spray at half time... A weeek later they faced the vultures and the shit hit the fan. It was arguably one of the most embarassing performances anyone would see. Only 6 goals down at 3 quarter time they were with in a shout of making a comeback and knocking them off, but 12 unanswered goals and some stupid un disciplined footy ruined their chances. The word going into the round 4 game was, if the hornets got flogged by the reining premiers and a team that hadn't been beaten in 21 games. The coach was gone. A gritty and tough performance was needed and they produced it and knocked off the champs and the coach was safe for another week. A 12 goal loss to southport a week later and the heat was back on. The labrador game was disspointing in so many ways. The hornets had a 8 goal to 4 first quarter and squandered it. The coach just din't want to do anything about the labrador charge and they hornets got over rin in the last quarter and again the tactics were questioned. 1 week later they faced redlands at redlands and had a handy lead at half time and looking good. than it all fell apart and the bombers won by 10 goals and the heat was back on the coach. The coach needed his chargers to put in another massive effort to knock off the champs and his tactics and his thinking that having 150 inetrchanges per game were left to be desired and the writing was on the wall after another heavy defeat. the coach resigned or was told if he doesn't quit he will booted and that was the end of the saga
New coach and some life back into the grouo was needed and they faced another daunting task against the lions. They went with with the for 3 and a half qwuarters and just couldn't keep in touch and lost the game by 4 goals, but there was plenty of improvement in them. The reat of the season brought some great results for the squad. 3 wins in a row against broadbeach, thunder and the lions showed they can match it with anyone and they could have won 3 or 4 other games to go with the 5 they won in their last 9 games. But things are looking good for the future and next year they have to be looking at playing finals or the season will be a bust
