The management still has gaps but continues to strengthen. We have been certified by the AFL to Bronze Level in its Quality Club Programme, one of a few in Sydney to be so recognised. In fact the club is not far away from reaching Silver Level. We have achieved Level I in the Good Sports Programme initiated by the Government and supported by St George Masos and the AFL. Sydney AFL’s AUDIT of our administration and management has placed us in its top ranking for which we received over $1700. Importantly by mid next season we will be free of all debts On the field we have improved from last year. Of particular note is the increasing number of recent and present Under 18 players making their mark in First Grade and Ressies. Together with our more mature players I get the feeling we are heading in the right direction. We have a large number of people to thank. No club can survive without sponsors. So to Presfast, Jenny & Gavin Bloor, to St George Masos and to Danny and Enid Dwyer, a very big thank-you particularly in these tough economic conditions . Our coaching staff has been terrific. To Shane Demir, Vinnie Stevens & Geoff “Bear” Axford; your commitment, your drive and your leadership have helped in the development of this young squad of players . Each side has managers and we also have medical staff. To Minnie Demir, Kevin Wilsen, Alan Pandelis and Steve Lowden we do appreciate all that you do even though we do not say it often enough. A similar thank –you to Jim Kazaglis for all your help. The boys are very confident in your ability and this makes a big difference. Not so sure about your kicking! To everyone who is involved in the club from the canteen, to the BBQ, to the goal umpires, to the water carriers, to the drivers and to all who just offer a word of encouragement. Thanks. We have a wonderful committee who quietly, except for Ross Bowen, go about their business. They are the back bone of the club and even though they may not know it yet, all have agreed to stand for re-election and hopefully to be joined by more supporters . Also we are indeed indebted to Sydney AFL particularly, Garry Burkinshaw, our local members, Darryl Melham and Kevin Greene, Hurstville Council and its mayor Philip Sansom. And to our players. We could not do it without you and there is no reason to do it if you are not there. Well what does all this mean and where are we going? I HAVE A VISION! The Administration is in place. The Management is in place. We will be debt free in the middle of next year. My Dream, My Passion is to by no later than the end of season 2013 have this club in a position to win the First Grade Premiership Flag. NOT ONLY because it would feel good, NOT ONLY because of the success but because it would mean that we have succeeded in getting a group of young men to be; • Committed; St. George Australian Football Club Incorporated – 2010 Annual Report 5 • To work hard; • To do what you say you will do; and • To establish life long relationships. These are called values and they will carry you in the rest of your life away from football. My question is: “ARE YOU GOING TO BE THERE TO RAISE THE PREMIERSHIP FLAG?” Brendan Donohue President 2009 VICE-PRESIDENT'S REPORT I was privileged to be asked to fulfill this role at the club. Having began my playing career nearly 40 years ago with Penshurst and having an active role in Junior football as a coach and administrator over the past 11 years it was time to move on to Saints, yet still maintain a positive connection with ALL St George junior clubs. Without our junior clubs, the senior club would not exist. Our numbers for the Under 18’s were strong; some boys would miss out on playing regularly this year. A working relationship was established with Southern Power and Moorebank in that players who were not selected with Saints in a particular week were then given the opportunity to play in the Challenge cup on a weekly loan basis Our Under 18’s performed well this season and many played in the senior teams. In fact • 21 boys played with our reserve grade side; • 11 boys played 1 st Grade, including 4 who were 1 st year Under 18’s (born in 1993); and • 5 Under 16’ played Under 18’s this year including a 1 st year Under 16 (born 1995). I am proud of the fact that in our 2 nd last game 21 out of the 22 First Grade team had played their junior footy as St George locals. Junior Grand Final day was held at Bangor and congratulations must go to the Tigers for a well organised event. It was good to see so many past and present Saints turn up to watch the stars of the future. Congratulations to the Premiers in the following Grades: Under 11 Miranda Under 12 Cronulla Under 13 Miranda Under 14 Bangor Under 16 Cronulla St George Junior representative teams from Under 12’s to 16’s performed very well and many boys gained higher representative honours in being selected for the Pigeons at the NSW State championships for Under 13’s through to Under 16’s. Wet weather didn’t help our plans for Saints players to return to their junior clubs when we had our mid season break, but it was good to see many players assist Bankstown juniors one session at Kelso. Many thanks go to the 18’s coach Geoff Axford, manager Steve Lowden and Football Manager John Addison for looking after the younger players. Also to Shane Demir and Vincent Stevens for giving the guys the opportunity to play senior footy and gain experience. St. George Australian Football Club Incorporated – 2010 Annual Report 6 Special mention to Gavin Bloor and Brendan Donohue in their off field efforts in helping the boys become better citizens and looking towards their future employment.
