CHAIRMAN’S REPORT GUS SEEBECK "Some of us will do our jobs well and some will not, but we will be judged by only one thing – the result." This is one of my favourite quotes from American Football legend Vince Lombardi. I believe it sums up the day-to-day reality of being involved in a football club. Football clubs are made up of a group of individuals all working together across a wide range of functions towards achieving a common goal. So what "results" did we achieve in 2008? To have three of our four sides play off on Grand Final day is an achievement of which any club would be proud. I feel it exceeded all reasonable expectations set at the start of the year. To have our Premier Division Reserve Grade team win its third consecutive Premiership is also a tremendous effort and all involved should be thoroughly congratulated. The fact that our U/18 Premier Cup and Premier Division Senior sides did not perform as well as they would have liked on the day, must provide even greater determination for success in 2009. Season 2008 was always going to be full of challenges for the East Coast Eagles. Some we could see coming and others popped up out of the blue along the way. Following the AGM in December 2007, we entered the year with a new constitution, a new Board, a new senior coach and a new Chairman. I would like to begin by thanking the Club for having the foresight and courage to unanimously adopt these sweeping changes and for having the faith and trust in me and my fellow Board members to drive this change and take the club forward into a new era. I remain as confident as ever that the decisions we have made
