I had intended to bring the blog to a halt here. For me, this is when the 'early years' stop. A couple of reasons:
1) The end of our sponsorship with Derrick Newman & co. - their generous investment helped to get us off the ground.
2) The make-up of the team starts to change here. As the 'early intake' got older and their priorities changed with families and work, we needed more than friends, friends of friends, former teammates and colleagues to flesh out and improve the squad. The net had to trawl wider and some players came in that didn't have that Kylie ethic (which was, effectively, 'no tossers'.)
There's another reason that, you might remember, will become clear in a few months.
However, due to popular demand* I'm going to carry on for a bit. There will be some posts about what happened over the summer of 2000 and team line-ups from the aborted 2000/2001 season. As that season was expunged from the records there will be no stats from those games.
When that's done I'll publish the overall club stats and the player profiles of those I haven't yet covered during the previous seasons.
I'll be back with you in late July I reckon.
We go again!
* Thanks Gary and Rich!
