Just checked out the Panthers website and top marks go to Phil Herden and the club.
The club has posted some great results off the field and also put together a new electronic publication "the Panther Press Pass". Phil's "defection" to the Panthers is starting to show some very good results IMHO.
The Press Pass is available by link from the SAFC home page, but without stealing any thunder intentionally - full credit is extended to the club here for all their achievements - highlights identified in the Press Pass include:
An operating profit of $567,000
A surplus of $76,000
South won a $50,000 water grant for Noarlunga Oval
Feature articles on South players picked up in today’s rookie draft
The Panther’s Annual Report is published on the club’s website (tabled at the AGM last night)
A pre-season update is given
Major Sponsors announced as being back on board
5 Panthers made the u/18 Tip Top Academy (SANFL – 44 players selected)
A new junior footy manager is announced
The new u/17s coach is announced (David Tiller)

Membership packages for 2007 are announced including a $5 discount for memberships renewed by 31 December
