Those were the words from outgoing Terang Mortlake coach Michael Sargeant after he led the Bloods for one last time on Saturday.

Sargeant, who was at the helm for three Hampden league seasons, said he remained committed to the club.

"I'll still be heavily involved in the club," he said after the Bloods' 17.19 (121) to 6.4 (40) defeat to Koroit.

"The club is doing a lot of work already in terms of shoring up the list.

"There will be a few retirements and some will move away but nearly 90 per cent is signed up and ready to go for next year which is a great effort and the club is in a really good position off the field at the moment, it couldn't get stronger really."

The Bloods finished with the wooden spoon on percentage with three wins from 18 matches.

Sargeant said he was disappointed he couldn't lead the Bloods to finals during his stint as coach.

"On the flip side, we've blooded 25 or 26 new players in the seniors over the last three years," he said.

Sargeant, who also spent time in Old Collegians' top role, said he was looking forward to being involved in football in a different capacity.

Koroit coach Chris McLaren said the Saints' first half was exceptional before the game became a slog after half-time due to the wet weather conditions.
