“I’ll probably watch the game, I reckon I’ll watch this one and really learn from it. You’ve got to learn from it, you’ve got to learn it and get back next year hungrier,” Woewodin, who had 12 possessions after lining-up on eventual Norm Smith Medallist Simon Black, told Channel Seven on Sunday.
“I’d say Mick (Malthouse) might get us to watch it. I don’t know what Mick’s philosophy on this thing is.”
Woewodin, a Brownlow Medallist who has enjoyed a successful season at a new club, is confident his teammates can rebound from a second successive grand final defeat.
“Without doubt. It’s a very young group, and the group will be together for the next four or five years and as all footy clubs do, some players will be turned over, some new ones will come in, but the nucleus of this group is very young and very exciting,” he said.
“The first thing I noticed when I got to Collingwood this year was the hunger in the eyes after a grand final loss. You could see that passion was really there. So let’s hope that in pre-season we come back with the hunger and that burning desire to rectify this and get there again.”
