2009
2009 saw the Knox Falcons hold our own through our second year in 1st Division. We finished the year with a credible 7 wins in the first and a vast improvement on the previous year against the top sides. We had a tough year with injury, using 45 players through the firsts. This will be great experience for our young group as they continue to develop. Our U/18's improved throughout the year and we have at least 9 players from the colts who will play senior football in 2010, which is a great result. Our seconds capped off a fantastic year with a brilliant finals series, culminating in our premiership win. This shows the depth of talent we have at the club.
Our senior coach in 2010 is former Collingwood and Footscray player, Tyson Lane. His assistants are Joe Aiello, Matt Windsor & Greg Donald. Our Reserves will be coached by Adrian Keltie and assisted by his brother Peter. Pierre Schumann will once again take charge of the colts with his assistants being Kim Brimelow, Greg Krenn, Tony Aiello & John Dideo.
I would like to thank our past and new sponsors who have come on board once again, They are: The Knox Club, Andrew Freeman from Ray White, PFD Foods, Steve Burley from Hi Tech Tree Professionals, Pete & Manni of Knoxfield Metal Recyclers, Wantirna South Charcoal Chicken, John Barker from Horizon Financial Services, Maurice Blackburn Lawyers, Greg Krenn from G K Travel, Joe and Jane from Marty's Automotive, Kahn Bolton of KMB Carpeting, URL Networks, A & D Network Services, Addcrete, David Cooper, Kim Wells & Chris Pearce, Cam & Adam from Knoxgate Butchers & Barracuda Security.
I invite all of our club supporters to become members of the club, be it social members or Falconians. We need your financial support to continue the improvement of the Knox Football Club. In 2010 we will be erecting a new fence along the front of the car park to help capture the gate takings from each game. A 500,000 litre water tank is being installed under the bottom oval in March of 2010. We hope to refit the ceiling and lighting in the Social Rooms in 2010. If you can help with this project, please contact Phil O'Shannassy
