Great work from Mattner to respond to last year's straight sets exit with an exciting, high-scoring game plan; which stood up to everything all year.

Norwood made a $456,658 profit.
Unfortunately, that's not the true financial situation.

The auditor's Financial Statement shows a profit of $456,658; but it won't be until the AGM (on Thursday 12/2) that the real value will be revealed.

For comparison, in 2024 the auditor's Financial Statement showed a profit of $608155 , but the report at the AGM was a loss of $97717 .

Between the auditor doing their work and the club informing the members there are a whole lot of mysterious activities (adding back depreciation, removing the 'Build The Fort deficit', removing losses due to scrapping assets, multiplying by the number of teeth your grandma has, removing some sponsorship money, etc etc etc).

I hope to be able to report back after the AGM tomorrow.

I wasn't at the game, I just followed the scores online, so I might be completely wrong; and no-disrespect to The Eagles, but that South performance cannot be tolerated by their club.
They have their best squad for years, were playing at home, and had the chance to open the season with a statement. But instead 15 goals to 7.

Will the loser mentality persist, with everyone accepting the loss? Or will a statement be made that this performance was unacceptable? It's well past the time to move on from Wright as a coach.

Sadly, I think my desire (as a Norwood supporter) for a competitive South to make the league that I love become stronger significantly outweighs the desire of South themselves to do what is needed to become competitive.
