The team won a minor premiership in 1979
Getting a team to win a minor premiership is no small feat. In fact, 28 minor premiers have won the coveted trophy during the AFL’s 32 year history, with 24 of those making the grand final. As a result, only ten have actually taken home the crown since 1994. Thankfully, for those that haven’t been blessed with a club of their own, there are plenty of teams to choose from. With that in mind, let’s take a look at the minor trophies of yesteryear.
The A Grade side of the club boasted the A Grade’s first ever club championship. It was a grandiose feat for a club that only had one A Grade squad since the heyday of the 1960s. As for the minor trophies, the team finished the year with 17 wins and one loss.
The team did have some big name signings, such as Michael Maloney, Bruce Smith and Rick Stone. The team also boasted some great individual players such as Warren Jones, Peter McNamara, Trevor Sorrell, Stu Hambleton and Steve Macaulay. The team also had some great off-field personnel in the form of John Minuzzo and George Frigo.
