As a fan, missing the finals is never fun.

You're left ruing what might have been as others celebrate on the precipice of success.

Countless hours are spent calculating the losses that left your team outside of the eight or worse yet, scouring draft boards to see which teenager will be tasked with resurrecting your club.

However, it doesn't have to be all doom and gloom. Every cloud supposedly has a silver lining and it is always darkest before the dawn.

Cliches aside, here's why the fanbases of the bottom ten teams should be excited about 2021.

Fremantle

Who knew a rise of just one position on the ladder could bring so much joy?

Now before you prepare yourself for some of the snarky comments to continue, just know that my water pistol is holstered Dockers fans. I come requesting an early bird seat on your bandwagon.

The future is so bright at Cockburn that it requires Ray-Bans. With a seemingly endless list of young talent meshed with mature aged recruits and a sprinkling of skilled veterans, rookie coach Justin Longmuir needs only to be a competent chef to produce with such a stacked pantry.

With another preseason in the blistering western heat, if said ingredients don't inspire a rise in membership, attendance, and ladder position next season, I'm not sure what will.

If the choppy seas of mediocrity and despair are able to be navigated by Captain J-Lo, then it won't be too long before a premiership is docking at Fremantle port.
