2018 Summary

Despite the loss of Bryce Gibbs through a trade and Sam Docherty through injury, Blues fans approached season 2018 with a great sense of optimism. Improved on field performances in 2017 were combined with another strong trade / draft year, meaning our list on paper at least looked impressive with an eye to the future. Hopes rested on the recruited Matthew Kennedy and Darcy Lang together with #3 Pick Paddy Dow, plus the ongoing growth of our impressive draftees from recent years.

A positive JLT Cup showing only aided these hopes.

However when the rubber hit the road we were soon a few tyres short. An opening honorable loss to the Tigers was impressive in phases, but hard losses at home to the Gold Coast and the Pies had the angst levels returning to 2015 levels!

Could we turn it around?
