Ogilvy admits time has arrived to ponder what happens next

After the curtain has unfortunately drawn on our season, we now have to think about what happens next.

A conversation about my playing future is one that I'll need to have with our coaching staff soon.

Obviously, this year was a little different to how last year went for me personally, it took a little bit of time to settle into the role of trying to lead our team from the bench.

It was really challenging to start off with, trying to impact the game without actually being out there.

But I think I did it successfully and tried to get our team to be as good as possible.

With the talent we had - and if we all got on the same page - I thought we'd be successful.

We know we were able to turn it around mid-season and get to the semi-finals and get a little run at the back end of the season.

But on a personal note, it was tough not being out there, coming from starting last year to not seeing the court at all was challenging: though I tried to make the most of it.

In the end, we're all disappointed after Sunday's loss.

We knew how much potential we had, and we were positioned pretty well throughout the game, so to lose it and end our season was disappointing.

I thought we were a good chance to go that next step further this year.

Obviously, there will be changes, there is every year - there are never two years in a row that the exact same team comes back.

Obviously, some pieces will be shifted and moved, but I think this year's team was good enough to be a grand final team.

But I'm sure the ownership group will make some moves that will help the team get there.

For now, we just want to thank our fans for their support this season.

Selling out that first semi-final in Wollongong was special.

You look back on my first year at the Hawks, and we had a curtain up at the end of the court for the whole season.

So to be able to fill the WEC I think speaks volumes of how the support has grown over the years, and how basketball is being appreciated in the Illawarra.

It really does mean a lot for us to see everyone coming out and supporting us the way they do.

So a huge thank you to all of the Hawks supporters and hopefully, we can do one better next year.
