OLD GEELONG BEST & FAIREST

Tom’s recruitment at the start of the year encapsulated the renewed energy at the club after having previously been at VFL club Werribee and GFL club Newtown.  He added much polish and determination to an already well functioning midfield, and the award was a great recognition of his impact in a season which delivered a grand final appearance.

Vice Captain Nicholas Casboult recorded another top two finish in the award having been runner up and two time winner in the previous three seasons.

Sam Lucas was the winner of the Reserves award with Zac O’Connor taking out the Under 19’s best and fairest. Consistent performer Tom Foster was a worthy recipient of the Club 18 B&F, edging out his brother Anthony in a close count.

The club thanks Senior Coach Adrian Farrer for his enormous efforts over the past two years, culminating in promotion to C Grade for the 2009 season.  His dedication, attention to detail and constant enthusiasm ensured that the playing group achieved what is a very significant achievement. Adrian is unable to continue in a coaching capacity due to his extensive work and family commitments which are ever growing.  The club now looks forward to appointing a new Senior Coach who can further deliver on the strong platform that has been created over the past few years.
