Members email alert
Dear member,
It's great to be back, and I'm genuinely very grateful to be back.
On return, the obvious thing to do is to say 'look forward, not back' - on a situation that hurt many people, and the Club generally.
But a very quick reflection (here) is important, if only to pledge that such a thing will never happen again to our Club. It's obvious that it's been a costly mistake, and in the time that I've had to reflect on it, I have an enormous sense of obligation to get it behind us, by working as hard as I possibly can to have us as the most united and successful Club we all want it to be.
I've been humbled by the generous support of so many people connected with our Club, and I sincerely thank Rob Chapman for filling the breach, and the Board, staff and playing side for their strong encouragement and backing, as well as the load they've had to carry.
It's immediately obvious that the Club has been busy, with a lot of positive progress on the key areas of licenses, Adelaide Oval, and the establishment of a reserves team - and I'm looking forward to getting stuck into those issues.
And finally to all those members and supporters who've sent through their best wishes, again - thank you.
I return to work absolutely determined to repay that faith and support.
