Well done boys, on a fantastic 2009 season.

I was hopeful of playing finals, and was saddened by our exit against the Bulldogs, but enjoyed the season as it progressed....despite our lack of free-to-air TV, AGAIN!

Brown, Black, Bradshaw & Power led the experienced brigade, while Patful, Merrett, McGrath, Sherman, Drummond & Brennan showed varying degrees of improvement, while Clark, Rich & Polkinghorne have made fantastic starts to what will hopefully be long and decorated careers.

On the other hand, Roe, Hooper, Proud, Harding & Johnstone had seasons they would prefer to forget!

Thanks and goodbye Tim Notting. Not one of my favorite players, but certainly a team-player, and well loved by the inner-circle.

The future's bright, and with a decent on-baller or two, the return from injury of Leuenberger and a small goalkicker (Rockliff springs to mind), we can again compete with the better clubs for those top 4 spots.
