THIRD GRADE COACHES REPORT

.A

As a Club we should be proud of our e f f o r t s i n having a l l three grades contest the f i n a l s e r i e s . The e f f o r t s of f i r s t grade made "one" f e e l proud during the year and congratulations must go to John Tuckwell and the squad. They were well supported by Allen Taylor and the Reserve Grade.

However winning a f i n a l s e r i e s i s what football i s a l l about and they probably l i k e myself, f e e l such disappointment where i t r e a l l y hurts.

Thanks must go to a l l the people who a s s i s t e d me and the support given by Greg Mclver and h i s fellow D i r e c t o r s t Selectors, Supporters and Ladies Committee who made i t a l l possible for i t to happen on the f i e l d . To Bob Leedow as a Team Manager and Clubman i s a l l anyone could ever wish for and Mrs Leedow for her maintenance of the jumpers and Bob McConnell being accredited with "Clubman" of the year i s a f i t t i n g reward.

As Third Grade Coach, I should be commenting on Third grade, but I f e e l i t has a l l been part of a club e f f o r t over the past few seasons i n order to t r y and build f i r s t grade even a t Third Grade's expense. A Club i s onoy measured by i t s f i r s t grade success as we a l l know. Hopefully our goal may be achieved i n the near future.

There i s an old saying that a champion team w i l l always beat a team of champions. I f e e l we had the l a t t e r t h i s year and

probably to a "man" we regret the r e s u l t . However, the Team should be proud of i t s e f f o r t s and although,we did not have the same number of players as i n previous y^ars the c a l i b r e of players was present, as was proved by the liifider 17's who played and proved they can handle i t , although some Junior O f f i c i a l s would not agree. To such o f f i c i a l s I can only say that i f they carry on i n the same vain they w i l l stop any momentum the code has gained i n our d i s t r i c t i n recent y ^ a r s . The end r e s u l t i n years to come dould s p e l l trouble for tne senior club i n performing a t a top l e v e l .

As to the proposed structure of even ages i n Juniors thought must be given to allow the Senior Club to s e l e c t and i n v i t e players up to grade and not hold back junior players who could r e a d i l y handle senior f o o t b a l l .

To Matty Ansell i n winning the Kealy Medal i s a wonderful personal achievement. The Club i s proud of you. To a l l players I can only express my thanks for t h e i r co-operation both on and off the f i e l d . A l o t more players need to bfe taught the basics prior to coming to grade as t h i s i s one area which r e s t r i c t s a Third Grade Coach i n training t h i s grade.

I have enjoyed my three years coaching and know i n my heart have achieved something towards our goals for f i r s t grade. The Club to become more professional should adopt a summer training schedule to allow players to work on any d e f i c i e n c i e s they have i n the off season which w i l l make the respective coaches jobs e a s i e r a t the s t a r t of the season. I look forward to a s s i s t i n g the Club i n 1983, even though I ami not seeking a coaching position, and wish a l l players and coaches every success

Congratulations must go to Mark S i e l y on coaching the Under 15 Sydney team to winning the State Championship i n Broken H i l l undefeated.

Congratulations must go to Mark Roberts who was selected i n the State U17 team and to Michael C l i f t and John Evans who were selected in the State U15 team.

This year has been a d i f f i c u l t year i n our r e l a t i o n s with the Junior Association with negative attitudes of some people over the promotion of junior palyers to play senior football causing a l o t of heartache t h i s season not only with club o f f i c i a l s but the junior players concerned. Hopefully t h i s situation has now been resolved and we can look forward to a more commonsense approach by a l l concerned.

The Clubs support of Junior Football was again f a i r l y strong es p e c i a l l y our support for a l l representative teams.

Congratulations must go to Heathcote Club on t h e i r 25th anniversary and the Miranda Club on t h e i r 21st anniversary.

I t was i r o n i c that we: l o s t to Wests i n the preliminary F i n a l for they were the only team to dominate us throughout the season. F i n a l Premiers, Norths, could not handle our team work 'in any encounter with one of our best successes being our win over them i n the f i r s t round. To come from s i x goals down i n one quarter was a great morale booster. Another game to dominate our season was the East c l a s h a t Trumper Park which was won on sheer courage.

I thank a l l players who participated, e s p e c i a l l y those who were injured throughout the season and spent a great deal of t h e i r own time and money to gain f i t n e s s to continue playing. You a l l deserve a greater reward for your e f f o r t s .

On behalf of the team a big thank you to our President, Greg Mclver and Treasurer, Nifty Shaw for also being t r a i n e r s througt out the season. I would l i k e to thank Jim, my Father for h i s work as team manager. To Bob Leedow for h i s t r a i n i n g records anc assistance a t t r a i n i n g . To Bob McConnell for h i s support and to my Mother, Kath for her weekly maintenance and care of jumpers. To a l l Club O f f i c i a l s and Coaches, John Tuckwell and Pat McCourt who encouraged the team and gave them and myself assistance and guidance throughout the year. To the l a d i e s Committee and a l l supporters, e s p e c i a l l y those who f i n a n c i a l l y contributed to the Club, Thank you.

In conclusion, I take t h i s opportunity to thank a l l reserve grade players who have supported me i n the past f i v e seasons. 3 have enjoyed my stay as Reserve Grade Coach, i t has given me tremendous pride and pleasure to say I was associated with them.

Reserve Grade player impressive football a l l season beating a l l comers except Western Suburbs which was the team which defeated us i n the F i n a l s .

There was a great deal of competition for positions i n the side which hopefully w i l l continue next year and place more pressure on F i r s t Grade to 'perform' to even greater heights.

RESERVE GRADE COACHES REPORT

The Season 1982 was a success for a l l grades i n making the f i n a l s . Unfortunately for most players pressure football i n f i n a l s had not been experienced for some time. However, t h i s experience w i l l stand them i n good stead for the coming season.

After season 1981 most reserve grade players believed, as I did, that we could win a premiership i n 1982. There was tremendous determination and dedication by players such as Wayne Rogers and Glenn Taylor- With good numbers at t r a i n i n g positions were keenly fought for throughout the season. This resulted i n only four losses, the main one being the Preliminary f i n a l . To work so hard to be i n the top 20 players must make you proud but you must also be determined to do well i n d i v i d u a l l y , not only for yourself but for the other players who trained j u s t as hard but f a i l e d to gain selection on the day. Now a l l players must rechard t h e i r enthusiasm and give that l i t t l e e xtra that w i l l r e s u l t i n t o t a l success.

FIRST GRADE COACHES REPORT

The 1982 Season i s now over and looking back we can e s t a b l i s h that goal for the year of making the four was achieved.

We as a Club are well respected opponents for a l l other teams, t h i s being borne out by our 1982 performances. However 1983 presents an even bigger challenge to the Club, do we become stronger or do we f a l l back down the ladder. The challenge to become more successful should be enough for a l l players to commit themselves to contest harder and make the 1983 season a Grand F i n a l goal.

In c losing I would l i k e to thank the Club Executive, Committee, Selectors Ken Brain and Mark S i e l y , Team Manager Garry Wenham, Alan Taylor, Pat McCourt and a l l the players for your support and commitment throughout the 1982.Season.

The 1983 season i s approaching and l e t us as a Club make sure we become the f i n a l winner. I t s there ready for us to take.

TREASURER'S REPORT

This l i k e so many other years has not been a successful one fi n a n c i a l l y , but other Clubs have had a d i f f i c u l t time a l s o . We can only look at the r e s u l t s and wonder how your Club w i l l cope next year.

A note of thanks must be extended to the Social Group who organised and helped during the season i n the canteen and with other fun-raising a c t i v i t i e s . There was a lack of support at some functions but others had a great response. I f only we had more w i l l i n g hands with the organising of these functions so that we w i l l keep improving.

A special mention must be made to a small group of supporters without t h e i r f i n a n c i a l help i t would have been impossible to meet our f i n a n c i a l commitments.

The Clubs expenses for A f f i l i a t i o n fees, F i r s t Aid, and some playing gear should be met by the playing members as they do in other competitive sports. This would then enable the Club to r a i s e the necessary funds to maintain a high standard of football within the code.

In closing, I wish to extend my thanks to Bob Leedow for h i s untiring assistance during the year..

Ladies and Gentlemen,

As your Secretary, i t gives me great pleasure on behalf of your Club to present to you for your consideration and endorsemen the F i f t y - F o r t h Annual Report and Fi n a n c i a l Report for Season 1982.

The 1982 season has been successful for St George with a l l grades reaching the Semi-Finals. However, F i r s t grade was defeated i n the Minor Semi-Final and second and th i r d grades i n the Preliminary F i n a l . We must s t r i v e for nothing l e s s than a f i r s t grade premiership next year.

On behalf of the Club I'd l i k e to give s p e c i a l thanks and appreciation to Greg Mclver, Neville Shaw, Bob McConnell, Bob Leedow and Brian Twist for t h e i r untiring support and dedication i n the running and administration of the club.

My thanks must also go to my fellow Board Members, the ladies who have worked so hard to r a i s e funds for the Club a l l year and to the Coaches, Team Managers and Trainers who have carried out t h e i r tasks so d i l i g e n t l y a l l season.

At t h i s point I must welcome a l l newcomers to the Club and hope that your season with the Club has been an enjoyable one.

Tonight a l l positions become vacant so I urge you to think very c a r e f u l l y before accepting nominations for positions within the Club i f you are unable to put i n the hours of work required to run t h i s great Club of ours.

o PRESIDENT'S ADDRESS

1982 our 54th year as a Club has been our most successful year since 1978 with a l l three grades making the f i n a l s .

Congratulations must go "to a l l Coaches, Players, Trainers and Club O f f i c i a l s who along with support from many of our members combined together to enable the club to achieve success t h i s season.

My personal thanks goes to Bob McConnell, Neville Shaw, Mick Hanrahan, Brian Swist and Bob Leedow for t h e i r great support and assistance a l l year, without t h e i r work the club would not function as w e l l as i t has. Special thanks must go to our selectors Ken Brain and Mark S i e l y who contributed so w e l l a l l season.

Special thanks must go to a l l the ladies who helped out during the year i n the cnateen and at our s o c i a l functions. The f i n a n c i a l benefits from your e f f o r t s i s something the club can not do without so we are indeed indebted to you.

The Clubs reputation and standing i n football c i r c l e s has been further enhanced by our on f i e l d performances and by the Club meeting a l l i t s S.F.L. committments a t a l l times, not l i k e so many other Clubs have not done. The Clubs honest and common sense approach to a l l matters a t S.F.L. l e v e l has made our position as one of the top clubs i n the League, even more evident with the advent of the Sydney Swans moving permanently to Sydney, more media coverage and o v e r a l l i n t e r e s t w i l l be created i n our game which our club must make sure we benefit from both players and p u b l i c i t y wise.

In 1983 we must make sure that we: do not lose our momentum and s l i p down the ladder, we must continue our climb towards the top which can only come about by hard work, dedication and ov e r a l l e f f o r t s by everyone.
