On the field and off the field 2019 has been an amazing Wyear. The club has once again gone up another level in so many ways. But let’s start with the most impressive win of the year. I don’t think it’s going too far to say season defining. How good is the new siren? The iconic blast that just is footy. I absolutely love it. As do the local residents. And the residents of Rozelle. And some in Balmain I understand. Off the field, it has been a big year. Busy, like stupid busy sometimes, but fantastic. The season started with a Welcome to Country from Aunty Bronwyn and a smoking ceremony from Uncle Max to symbolically welcome us all onto Jubilee Oval for the season ahead, and they returned in May for the launch of our new Aboriginal jumper, designed by artist Adam Hill AKA Blak Douglas for Sir Doug Nicholls round. The jumper itself is just fantastic, and massive thanks to Mike Schofield and Bain Stewart for the work in championing the concept and getting us such an amazing design. The jumper embraces the Aboriginal history of the local area and acknowledges the female and male players in our club. It says loud and clear that we recognise the for the organising, and to Guy Fitzroy Tis year we once again grew our great afternoon with five previous 38 teams.
