As we head to a new year some may reflect on their achievements in 2012. Others will only look ahead, what's past has past and cannot be changed.
Well for the fun of it I will try and achieve both.
2012 did see the Touchers go back to back to back but it also saw great improvements in player skills and ability...well in most anyway.
In 2012 who can forget the post game speeches from the The Chairman. I believe the big man hit his peak during the 'VC Gate' saga. His wish for 2013 is simple...another premiership.
For the VC he had a troubled 2012. The suspension in match award points cut deeply and had him questioning his loyalty to Touching. Looking ahead his goal is a 4th premiership and once again lay claim as the best Toucher in suburban over 35's touch footy.
Due to legal proceedings being settled I am obliged to state the following;
It's at this time that I wish to make a correction on the Finals edition of the blog. It was the VC who made the pass to the Bulldog to create a saloon passage for Jonty to score that try.
I hope this correction will suspend any further and all litigation activity threatened by the VC to this publisher !!!
It was another classic year for Supercoach Bill and his on field clashes with his nemesis The Chairman were pretty to watch. In 2013 he is looking to create a demonstration video of outside backs defensive techniques and play it on constant rotation for the Chairman.
2012 was a breakthrough year for Big Bad Brett. He will have strong leverage at the contract negotiation table. His plans for January through to October is to work on some techniques to improve his chances of winning the players player title two years in a row like the VC did in 2010 and 2011.
In this year past, Jonty was one of the two Touchers who played every game. This level of resilience was looked on highly by the clubs board. Jonty has declared that in 2013 he will be attacking the Palm Beach sand hills to strengthen his hammy and build on his speed. Who can forget the last minute match winning try in the final to take the Touchers into the GF.
Bob the Builder also had a breakthrough season with two man of the match awards. His aggression in defence put the fear of the greats in the opposing teams. His goal for 2013, a simple one......finish his damn house before the next season starts. Early bookings for the 2013 post season celebrations have been taken for his shed in his new residence.
Coming off a disrupted pre-season, Locksmith found that a month in the USofA ain't the best training regime for such an arduous campaign. However, his Herculean effort in the GF is now one of folklore and will be told to others in hushed tones for many many years to come. The new year holds big hopes for the three time premiership champion.
Faz was another seasoned Toucher had a disrupted championship season but Faz found great joy in breaking the shackles of the Foo Fighters when they allowed. With the Fooeys on a world wide tour in the season ahead we hope to see a lot more of the smiling assassin.
It was an ongoing tale of woe for our Milton in 2012. With a massive step up in his career and sharing the pleasures of building with Bob on his new shack in Duffys and an ageing hamstring, there was little time for Touching in 2012. However, he did provide a season highlight when he invited Bieber to play in round two. The two put on some great passages of play that brought a tear to even the driest eye. In 2013 Milton has commented that he will remain a Touchers, if the other Touchers will let him!!!
The VC delivered a great hew recruit in inviting Kiwi to join the Touchers. The hard man took a lot of the workload off the other straight runners in the team and gained a lot of yards. With this gap now filled by fresher fitter legs, it has some other Touchers staring down the barrel of retirement!!!
The Lazarus highlight of the 2012th year of The Lord was our man Harro. When push came to shove it was Harro who stood tall. Unfortunately though he declares 2012 as doing the 'double double'. With the Sydney Gooses winning the VFL competition he felt its prestige matched that of the Touchers three-peat.
With career saving therapy on his weary legs, the sponsors and crowds look forward to a stellar 2013 for the man they call HARRO.
In closing out the final story of 2012, this little black duck would like to give a big thank you to the millions who partake in the pleasures these stories bring.
Yours in hopefully a very Touching New Years...... best wishes
