The traditional AFL Grand Final Eve Old Trinity Best and Fairest Dinner Dance at Hawthorn Receptions more than lived up to its reputation last night as the Old Trinity players and faithful celebrated the return to A Grade for season 2010 and the exploites of the players throughout season 2009. All present really dressed to impress and Tom Oldfield's technique on "How to get a date for the B&F" seemed to have worked for the number of glamorous females (of all ages) present was a highlight. The introduction of a count from round twelve for the senior B&F added extra interest and heightened the excitement when Jack Healy took home the Weatherson Medal as the worthy winner. Jack Osborn won the George Dwyer Cup as runner up and Matt Jessop was a breath away in third place. President Dyson Hore-Lacy congratulated all present on the efforts throughout the season and officially announced that Senior Coach Brett Chandler is to continue in season 2010. Brett himself couldn't have been happier with the results of 2009, but issued a strong challenge to all that getting back into A Grade is only the first step and we must all remain focussed and work even harder in 2010.
