2025 Summary
Two successive finals appearances but no cigar, let alone a GF. What could the Blues do to ascend?Well for starters they threw themselves in to the draft despite consecutive finals positions by up-trading to secure Pick 3, Jagga Smith plus the Camporeale boys. A bolstered midfield grouping meant we lost some favourites, but the Blues were not sitting idle. The Blues also changed over the fitness and high performance group in order to add power and fitness. All eyes turned to March after a pre-season which showed promise but not completeness.
Despite the energy and a strong opening quarter, the Blues commenced the season with 2 losses - 1 to a young Richmond outfit against a wave of Carlton errors in Round 1, before the Hawks outran and outspread against us in Round 2.
Irrespective of talk of an easy draw, the Blues already had our backs to the wall...
