Congratulation to all the players, coaches and the many people who have worked tirelessly in helping the club's three teams make the finals.
Although the hard work is not finished and without attempting to get ahead of ourselves we must recognise one of our Key Performance Indicators set at the beginning of the year has been met.
Playing finals footy is only achieved when likeminded individuals commit and apply all of their energies targeted towards team goals.
Let’s all enjoy the experience of participating in the finals
As President of our famous and traditional club it is timely to remind everyone - and I mean everyone associated with the club on and off the field of our obligations to uphold the high standards set by our predecessors that has helped forge our clubs reputation.
The club has been questioned recently by AFL-Tas in respect to incidents and matters pertaining to behaviour unbecoming directed at some of our supporters.
Save and accept football is a passionate game therefore it is easy to become caught up in the moment. It is important we all demonstrate good character regardless of the circumstances or provocation.
The basics are as follows:
-
We play to win, we play hard but fair.
-
We respect our opposition and welcome and enjoy fierce on field competition.
-
We are leaders on and off the field in promoting sportsmanship
-
We know how to act professionally and appropriately regardless if we win or loose
-
Our supporters represent our club and we expect them to embrace the clubs values
-
We accept and our proud of the fact through our 121 years of building a successful club some in the community cheer for us to fail
