Fantastic job on the Yearbook, except for that fact that some of the squad members were reduced to less than half a page. hey fair go, they all had a hand in getting the team to the final, so deserve a full page each. Other than that, great work.

Thanks, Russ Gibbs did the whole thing. I (Eamonn) had nothing to do with it.

So I'd like to thank Russ for his time and efforts. He did it all voluntarily.

I'll pass your comments on.

Don't be too hard on the guy, without him there would be no yearbook and Squad members wouldn't have got ANY coverage anywhere..full or half page.

Maybe glass half-full...isn't it great we had a yearbook...FULL STOP!

Hi All, Was at the presentation. Russ did a great job as MC and looked very neat in the suit and tie.
The year book is great and a lot of work and energy must have gone into producing it. Well Done!
From the Dubbo supporters thank you to everyone who has offered help and support to the girls. They have been made to feel welcome in the ACT and can't wait to finish school and be down there as full timers. Looking forward to season 09/10 should be good.

I am not being hard on the guy. He did a great job. However, I feel he should treat the players equally and give them all a full page. Try and think how those players might feel being reduced to less than half page and less important than their team mates. Give them all a fair go is all i am asking.

This is a book for the fans not for the players and parents.

You are being hard on the guy in my view. He's a volunteer.

Where could he get info on players who are not in the team, not in the paper etc. He has a day job and his time is limited.

And I reckon he was fair in the football fans sense of the word.

Besides once a player makes the eleven and plays consistently they'll get a whole page. Seems fair to me.

We can agree to disagree I guess

If Cian came second it was obviously not a best and FAIREST award
