Highs: 1st half against EP in round 8. Had two important club people pass away and it was the best we played all year. Pity we couldn't build upon it. Great atmosphere around the club, lots of helpers lots of piss sunk.
Biggest Hanger: Broddy took heaps. Amazing leap for an old bloke and apparently before his knee recon it used to be bigger! No wonder he played league footy. I also took a hanger but the photo caught me on the way down.
Low: losing prelim obviously.
Expected boozehound to be taller, same with Pag.
Biggest upset: Us losing to Salisbury West!
Best Coach: I'm obviously biased but think Jackson, Payne and Ocker are all obviously coaches who could coach at a much higher level.
Tip for GF: FP 3 goals
Highs: ANZAC Day. Was a privilege to play with all the diggers from the Salisbury RSL at the ground. Beating Salisbury West is always good too.
Win over Old Iggies in Round 17 was also a high. Had the 'Gentlemans Night' that night too so made for a big evening.
Lows: Losing to Salisbury West in Round 12. Horrible kicking, and our worst game for the year, ended up costing us our spot in Div 3.
Losing to Kilburn in Round 7. Were 4 goals up at 1/2 time and in front still at 3/4 time but got rolled. Boys were shattered after that game.
Losing to Woody South in Round 18. had oru to chance to keep our spot with a win and fell away horribly in the last quarter.
Biggest Hanger: One doesn't really stick out in my mind.
Biggest Upset: Kilburn losing to Salisbury West. Not sure what happened there.
Best Coach: Probably Payne, with Ocker and Jackson very close behind. Looks like he turned the club around discipline-wise as well which would be a very hard ask.
Tip for GF: Flinders Park by a couple
