Did you get a vote?
5th in the Ressies, well done WHUFC
Yeah got 5th......tbh pretty proud of that effort. 38 years old, hadn't played aussie rules in over 20 years. The 4 above me are all ex a grade guns of the local comp. I know its not much more than country footy but the last ten years for me have been all about getting better at everything i do whether its being a father, an employee or sporting endeavors.
If i can have a bit of 'me' time for one sec. When i moved to the area i couldn't for the life of me understand how this team (BSR) from 3 tiny towns kept dominating the comp against the bigger towns like Clare, Riverton, Eudunda.
Once we moved out to Spalding and i got convinced to have a kick it become apparent so quickly why they have consistent success. Every single bloke out there from the gun a grader through to the pleb b grade demands self improvement. I've never been at a club where the gun a graders get around the b grade blokes more, honestly i cant kick which comes from my rugby/soccer background. Despite providing our gun forwards with helicopters at training not once did they ever have a crack at me and infact actually spent time to help with my kicking.
I can say the same about the a grade coach we have had as well. Whilst his focus is the a grade i would refer to him as more of a club coach...happily giving just as much time to a B grader as he does to the gun a graders. Makes a hell of a difference.
