Ian has kindly supplied me with some materials to add to the archives on this website. They include a missing Matchday from 1983 v Geelong. I've also added an issue of Bulletin Board from 1977 (No.2) to the Library page. Added to the team photo galleries are: The following team photos need a bit more identification for labeling: Seniors 1978 (has 1978 written on it but we already have 1978 team photos in a different kit so it may be 1979) Guesses so far, please get in touch if you have answers: Back: Peter Fairbanks?, Mark Watling, Keith Watling, Steve Thomas, Tony Wynton, ???, ???
