AAFL AWARDS NIGHT
Congratulations to the Saints Players who figured prominently in the AAFL awards which were held last Friday night.
Lewis Hurst tied with Matt Hackett from the Magpies in AAFL seniors best and fairest. This is the second time Lewis has won the comp B & F, he also finished second another year. When you add these achievements to his four club best and fairest awards you would now have to rate him as just about the best player to have played with the Saints.
Ben Hick won the AAFL reserve grade best and fairest award to go with his club reserve grade best and fairest award, a great result in his first season of AFL football. Well done.
Liam Ackland won the AAFL best under 17-player award. He also came runner-up best and fairest for the club and won our goal-kicking award for the second year in a row.
Reports coming from the AFL draft camp that Liam has been attending over the past 10 days have been very positive. He played very well in the practice games over there attracting the attention of AFL scouts. We will all be keenly watching Liam’s AFL progress from here on.

CLUB AWARDS NIGHT
All at Oscars Bar had a pleasant evening last night where the club held it’s annual awards night. Congratulations to all awards winners, especially Lewis Hurst who won his forth straight club B & F

Thanks to Steve Froggat and the team at Ocsars who have looked after the club exceptionally well this season. Steve put on a great spread for the club last night. Please get along and support Oscars when you can in the off-season. It is a great little bar.

Thank you to all the club volunteer helpers and sponsors you have all contributed greatly to the club this season.

Remember guys we are on the lookout for a senior and reserves grade coach for season 2009. Keep your eyes out for any suitable candidates and contact me if you come across anyone. ANY CANDIDATES FROM WITHIN THE CLUB ARE ENCOURAGED AND WELCOME TO APPLY.

Our off-season is also the time that we should also be on the lookout for new recruits. If we can top up our squad with a couple of good experienced players, continue the development of our reserve grade group and get another group of talented locals on board we will be able to take the next step and go all the way next season.

We will also be asking for more members to fill administration roles within the club for season 2009. We welcome nominations for all commitee positions which will be filled at our club AGM in March 2009. The more volunteers we get the easier and more enjoyable it is for those already involved.

Have a happy and safe festive season.

Best Wishes

Greg Cairns
Club President
