Legsman FYI Ironbank where the last side that made A Grade finals - Think it was 1996 - and was relegated the next year due to having crappy other grades. Rod Campbell bought a team of players as per Echunga have this year but his problem was he could not coach on match day. Some one had to then come in the following year and clean the mess up as he walked out with the imported players so it can be done. From recollection similar to your B Grade that year the Ironbank B grade won only 1 game too so it can be done. I think they then won the country flags in 98 and 99 by rebuilding and had a really good coach who had great people skills and was a good teacher. He got some good players as well.
Were you there SC?
