2007 All Stars Reviews

September 3rd, 2007

While the season finished in a way that no one liked or expected, the Stars can be proud of a tremendous season. Having missed the finals in 2006, finishing 2nd on the ladder and making it to the penultimate Saturday of the season was a clear improvement. There are many great memories to take on board (any year where we beat Scotch twice is still a good one!) , as well as strong motivation for going one step further next year. The team ethos was a particular highlight and should be evidenced in a closely fought battle for the Best & Fairest, with the smart money on Hugh Tomlinson to get the nod! With a very young team, there is little doubt the Stars can only improve, especially as some of our older, slower opponents start to drop key players. Here’s hoping everyone comes back next year to carry the Stars to glory.

Congratulations to all involved and a big thank you to everyone who helped out during the year, including Chaz, Carts, Scotty Murray, Tucks, Pauly and Deano. In particular, a massive thanks to coach David Landrigan who made a fantastic debut and capped off his rookie year with joint Coach of the Year in the Club XVIII Team of the Year. Congratulations also to the 4 players who made the team: Rob Lawler, Tom Schofield, Stu Wettenhall and Ameet Bains.
