PRESIDENTS REPORT
Hi Kings Fans,
Well there goes season 2017. Another year done and dusted.
Last Saturday at Sacred Heart wasn’t the best end to the year. We unfortunately finished the day... and the season with 3 defeats. Seeing none of our teams in the finals for the first time in many years is tough to stomach. We always knew that the step up to Div 2 would be a tough one and losing many older and experienced heads after last years premiership added to the already difficult task. Nevertheless, we drop back down to Div 3 along with fellow college friends Scotch OC, and look forward to the 2018 season and rebuilding things on field.
To add to an already tough year, the club says goodbye to both our A and B grade coaches; Jimmy Allan and Jim Pinkney. Jim is stepping aside due to an increase in family size, and therefore commitments and also work demands. Jimmy is seeking coaching opportunities at a higher level. We thank both men for their service to the Kings over the past two years in the coaching department and wish them the best of luck in the future. Jack and myself are now on the hunt for their replacements and ill leave no stone unturned in finding the right fit for the club.
We’re looking forward to seeing everyone on September 29th for the End of Season Dinner at Adelaide oval. Tickets are available on Trybooking.com by searching “Pembroke Kings and Queens End Of Season Dinner”.
Jack and Luke Co-Presidents.

Saturday saw us head down ANZAC Hwy to face Sacred Heart Old Collegians in our final match of the season. After plenty of rain during the week, we were greeted with sunshine, a picturesque deck and the best away changerooms known to man. We were also greeted by a well-drilled football side, tuning up for finals action.
As has been a bit of a theme for us this season, we showed that when we pressure the opposition and execute our skills we are quite dangerous against any opposition. Unfortunately, we were unable to maintain our pressure for four quarters, our skills really let us down on occasions and, as has become a constant battle, we found it very difficult to hit the scoreboard.
In my view the 82-point loss wasn’t a true reflection of the game, however it indicates just how good you need to be to compete at Division 2 level and the reality is we were a long way off for much of the season.
I would just like to thank all of the players, board members, coaches, medical staff, trainers, sponsors and supporters for their support during the year. While it hasn’t been the year we were after on-field, the Kings community is still a great one to be involved in and that’s because of the fantastic people involved at the club.
I wish everybody all the best going forward and urge the players never to be content with where they are at. Always strive for more!
Signing out,
Jimmy Allan A grade Coach

ROUND 18 VS B GRADE REPORT Goal Kickers N. Bentley 3, T. O’’Flaherty
Best Players Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 A. Dean, S. Reeve, M. Fischer, P. Clayer, N. SHOC 0.0-0 0.0-0 0.0-0 12.15-87 Bentley
Pembroke Kings 0.0-0 0.0-0 0.0-0 4.3-27
Season 2017 has come to an end, with BKings achieving 4 wins for the year & finishing in 8th spot, which is respectable given we were bottom at 10th just 3 weeks earlier. So we did finish off ok winning 2 of the last 3 games of the year to salvage something from a very inconsistent year. How inconsistent? Well we had 61 players by my count who pulled on a jumper, no one played every game & the last game of the year was the only game that the initially named squad actually played. A challenging year, but there were some highlights & fun times had throughout the season that do make it worthwhile.
The final game of the year was realistically a dead rubber against SHOC who were unmovably perched at 2nd spot on the ladder & with nothing to really gain from playing us, other than scraping through unharmed for the finals series. BKings on the other hand were looking to win 3 on the trot, knocking over a few SHOC players & knocking back a few beverages post game, so plenty to play for there.
For the first half we were right with them despite the scoreboard attendants attempts to put us off by displaying the wrong score consistently. We were in & at them, got some match ups right & were having a crack. Then the big Duhne who was rucking very well was red carded just before half time for allegedly showing his fist to a player in a scrummage & that left us 1 payer down for the next 10 minutes. For that 10 minutes it was all about stoppage after stoppage & keeping it in tight, which we did extremely well until the replacement player came back on & we for some reason lost all structure & leaked more goals in 10 minutes than we had in the 54 before. At the end of the game SHOC went out winners by 60 points.
The backline were well represented in the best, with Zander Dean being very serviceable at half back with partner in crime Stirling Reeve rebounding & settling the team numerous times. The little master Michael Fischer continued his good form & had a cracking first half & new forward on the block Nick Bentley managed to kick 75% of our teams score in a solid display down forward. The other best on ground as the cracking change room that SHOC’s have, best by far that I have ever seen at amateur level.
Well that is it for now & a while. Thank you to all the players, trainers, drink runners, committee, presidents, volunteers & supporters for putting together season 2017 & stay safe everyone till preseason starts again in late October.
IGTB Green!

It was the LitGrade’s final hitout for the year - coming up against a comfortably placed Sacred Heart away. We came out and applied ourselves to the contest; winning the hard ball, and really asserting an element of aggression at the footy.
We were always within two goals all day, but unfortunately went down by a goal in the end. Honourable mentions to brad warren, Sam Carrithers and Jono Evans for strong performances.
A massive thanks to everyone who has filled a spot within the team throughout the year, assisted in any way off the field or simply came out to support us. We are looking forward to some serious success in 2018! Enjoy the offseason.

GETTING TO KNOW A KING
Name: Lucas Allen Nicknames: LA, L, Browny, Glove Age: 21 Occupation: Student Marital status: Single Guernsey Number: 35
Which AFL team do you follow? Port Adelaide
On field goal for 2018? Breaking my wrist in round 2 and spending 10-12 weeks off playing footy this year was a big setback and my confidence in my body, and subsequently my form, definitely suffered once I returned in the last few weeks of the season. So my goal for next year is to definitely get back to playing some good footy.
Off field goal for 2018? Off field goal would definitely be getting back to the fitness level required to play footy competitively. I noticed on my return from injury I couldn’t run out games like I used to. Fitness is something I pride myself on and that’s something plan to get back in the off season.
Who will win the 2017 AFL Grand Final? Tough one, don’t want to say Adelaide but they’d be hard to beat... GWS or Sydney as outsiders.
You played your 50th game for the Kings last weekend, congratulations! What does the milestone mean to you? Cheers, yea I feel its about time actually haha, um in the last 3 years I’ve missed about 20 odd games of footy through injury, so should be up to about 70 by now, so its definitely nice to get there!
I am told you are quite the triathlete. What sort of races do you compete in, are we talking Ironman or Ultra Triathlon? What is your favourite leg of the race? Haha yea that is on of my hobbies! Haven’t done one since March but will definitely be back in the summer... the longest one I’ve done and done a few times down at Victor is the Olympic Distance (1500m swim, 40km bike, 10km run) so much shorter than the Ironman! But nah the ironman is the goal one day. Favourite leg is 100% the run.. its where I catch people up after not swimming so well!
You kicked the winning goal on the siren against Unley Mercedes a few weeks back, did you know the siren was about to go when you took the mark? How were the nerves walking back to take the shot? Who would be the last bloke in the club you would want kicking for goal to win after the siren? Yea this was my 50th game and I actually had a pretty average day personally up to taking the mark.. But yea I actually did have an idea because I heard some one call out that there was a minute to go when there was a stoppage in our back 50. I Remembering the moment, I virtually started at the stoppage and we were lucky to have moved the ball down the ground quickly and with a bit of gut running I found myself taking a mark in the goal square 30 seconds later.. Nerves definitively kicked in knowing it’d be the last kick of the day but lucky it was only 10m out so turned out well in the end.. And person to trust? Definitely me! -7- THE PEMBROKE KINGS PEMBROKE OLD SCHOLARS FOOTBALL CLUB IT’S GOOD TO BE GREEN 2017 pembrokekings.com.au
In previous years we have seen you don the long black skins top and gloves to some games, what was the theory here? Are we likely to see the gloves come back? Haha yea I actually got a condition calmly Raynauds syndrome which means I have bad circulation! So my hands just get really cold on cold days which can be real pain catching the footy.. It’s why Deano calls me glove and yea they’ll definitely return some day
Who are the three most underrated Kings Players you’ve had the pleasure to play with? Mm tough one but got to say Deano.. He’s only played a few games for us this year but he’s really good at directional voice and encouragement to get the best out of one another on game day.. also provides that calm head every team needs.
If you could take one Kings team mate away with you on holiday who would it be and why? Zach Polyak, just a close mate from school and we get along well
What is your specialty meal to cook? Can’t say I cook much to be honest haha
What is your dream holiday destination? Tough one, done a lot of travelling and there are many places I would like to go, probably Southern Europe along the Mediterranean.
What is your dream job? Sports/athlete but I’ll stick to being a doctor
What is the coaches favourite saying? Win the contest/tackle hard
Best AFL/SANFL/VFL player of all time? Gary Ablett
Who is your Doppelganger? Luke Brown from the Adelaide Crows
Which King is most likely to: - Take their top off at training? Jaiden Pengelly - Snapchat you a photo of their dog? No ones ever done that haha - Sing at Karaoke? Neville Smith - Be late to a game? Pistol. - Take a mid-season vacation? Oscar Ogai or me
