LEAVING A LEGACY AT SALK OVAL

Q

You’ve seen the club play in 15 grand finals, winning eight. Have they approached you to sign on for life?

A

They haven’t at this stage. This is my 10th year in an official capacity and that’s the criteria, you have to do 10 years so we’ll see what happens next year. It’s not up to me, it’s up to other committee members.

Q

With the Suns set to enter the AFLW in 2020, are there any aspirations on your end to field a senior women’s side?

A

That's exactly the way we’re heading. We have a succession plan and this year was probably going to be a bit soon and our juniors would be too long but we’re aiming for 2020. We want to be the place to be where girls come if they want to get drafted into the national league.

Q

What do you want to be your legacy at the club when you do one day call time?

A

I want it to be that Palm Beach is the club everyone wants to go to on the Coast. One of the other presidents said one day “if you could bottle that culture, we’d buy it”.
