Afternoon all, firstly, I’m not hiding behind any pseudonyms, this is me Mark/‘Buzz’, current Hahndorf player. Any questions you have re Hahndorf moving fwd let me know either forum or PM, i'll give you as honest an answer as I can. Thought I’d finally get on this forum officially, as I’ve recently read a few things that are totally incorrect. Some have drawn a smile, others just stupid. To clarify some ‘facts/rumours’ posted on this forum recently:
-Trent is the new HFC president – will be great for the club and he’s looking to build on the fantastic wk done in recent years by the committee.
-We are not throwing mega $ around, we don’t need to. We’ve retained almost all players from last year (few older blokes still weighing things up, would suggest all clubs in this position and maybe 1 or 2 to travel but not confirmed) and have some fantastic juniors coming through. Agree we need a couple more handy players for depth, but certainly not the big $ kind people have mentioned. The new points system wouldn’t facilitate such recruiting in any case.
-Dan Roberts will be playing with us next year, Colville won’t be, recruiting committee haven’t even spoken to him.
-Barta is a good mate of mine. I can’t speak for him, however to my knowledge he’s committed to Nwd for next season.
-Coops is looking forward to playing with us next year (he told me this Thursday), he’s taking a running group at Hahndorf every Wed if you want some extra fitness work.
-We are currently talking to a number of players about coming to Hahndorf next year (isn’t every club at this time of year?). Hopefully I’ll have positive news to report in coming days/weeks/months.
Overall, there is a great feeling at the club at the moment. Everyone is looking forward to next season and building on the hard work put in by all in recent years.
While I’m here, if anyone out there is interested in potentially joining the club in any capacity player/support staff etc, our first official run/meeting is this Wednesday (3rd Dec) kick of approx 6:30pm at Hahndorf Oval followed by a BBQ. Any questions flick us a private message if you want to remain anonymous.
Looking forward to the coming season, suggest it will be a close one……with us winning the premiership of course!
Cheers,
Buzz
