After the on-field successes of season 2018, it was quickly evident that the general results would not be replicated. Off-filed the club goes from strength to strength. At pre-season the number of players not returning from the previous year told us that we would be back into the re-build phase which turned out to be the case. But we did field 5 sides and had the addition of a wonderful Masters sided which not only won the Premiership but more importantly re engaged a large numb er of players back to the club. Also we started the development of the womens side with very promising results. Off field with the Council engaging a full time groundsman the field was the envy of the competition and for that matter most field sports in the area. It is a credit to the Council and the groundsman. In addition with the success of the Red & White 90th Anniversary Ball and the provision of catering at the AFL Blacktown finalsd series, the club is in a sound financial position to start season 2019. I again acknowledge the wonderful contribution that both Enid and Danny Dwyer and the St George Masos have made financially in season 2018 and over a number of years previously. Long may their involvement continue. I also thank the Guthrie family from Mortgage Choice, Glenn Jones from President Body Repairs, Mracia Sterling, Chris Raper and Chris Ryan. This year we welcomed a new sponsor being Sura who specialize in insurance underwriting.Angie Zissis was instrumental in arranging this partnership and it is one that we hope will last for many years. Our coaching staffled by Club Coach Terry Mudge and supported by Derek waters, Stephen Wilsen, Gavin Raper, Lachlan Ryan, and Warren Tegg deserve high praise for their dedication and ability to teach. Support from Football Manager Andrew Wynn and his team of Kev Wilsen, John Addison, Ian Ford, Tom Cleray and Dale Widders was delivered every week. The professional behavior from our physio staff led by Michael Koutzoumis and their team made us the envy of most clubs.. The introduction of the Masters side I believe was a great success mainly due to the work of David Fletcher, Shane Demir and Noel Hopkins. Our Vice-President Andrew Wynn continues to expand and improve the St George Academy looking after both Under 17 and Under 15 juniors in the St George area. I hope that we can expand this for our female juniuors. Thank you also to all of his helpers. We do have a small but hard working inner circle of volunteers. Chief amongst those is Kerry Wynn who beside being the club photographer was instrumental in organizing the Red & White Ball which along with the Annual Golf Day are major contributors to our finanaes. The latter event was run by Nath Mackenzie Hicks and he also organized the Comedy Night. Also thanks to David Lycakis who published our weekly newsletter and Angie Zissis and Dale Widders for keeping our ground well marked. Mentioned must be made of Marion Sterling Richard Orton who were joined by Kerry Wynn on Friday mornings before home matches. They scrubbed and polished the showers, toilets, change rooms and main club area and did a wonderful and often unacknowledged job. We were blessed with our canteen ladies, Patricia Jones and Maureen Ford with help from Richard Orton. Not only do they organize a financially successful canteen but they engender a spirit of fun and co-operation into the clubhouse. Thank you to all of you and your helpers. St. George Australian Football Club Incorporated - 2018 Annual Report 5 This year we were given the huge task of providing canteen service for the AFL Finals series at Blacktown. This was a huge undertaken that was very successful. The leaders of the planning were Paul Dawson, Angie Zissis, Richard Orton and Dale Widders. The canteen was run by Kate Lee, Trish Jones and Maureen Ford and we were blessed with the best turn out of volunteers in my time at the club. Thanks to everyone. If I have forgotten any volunteers please accept that my dementia is increasing and the oversight was unintended. To all of the committee members who run the club in a most professional and unobtrusive way. We certainly need more volunteers to help you but what you do is most appreciated. Finally thanks to the players and your partners and families. I am sure that you would have felt an increased demand on your time and effort. And now it is time to say thanks and good bye. Brendan Donohue President VICE-PRESIDENT'S REPORT My main focus as VP for the last 5 years has been to support Brendan to ensure the long term viability & success of St. George AFC. In particular focusing on junior club and player liaison so as to attract more players to the club, with the ultimate goal of running more teams at St. George. So it was very pleasing that we were able to maintain our 2nd U 19 team and our 3rd senior team in Div 2 thanks in particular to the hard work of Tom Cleary and Lachy Ryan. The St. George Academy once again ran well, thanks to the coaching support of Gavin Raper & Alexander Wynn.
