Any speculation of nerves and stage fright was dispelled in the early minutes of the Reserves Grand Final, the Tigers had come to play, and play they did for the 90 odd minutes of the match. 95 point winners against a gallant Central Eyre who just couldnt find answers to the Tigers energy and enthusism.
Completing their trophy cabinet, the club now has a Reserves flag, the last club in Mid West to do so in the 30th year of Mid West competition. All clubs have now triumphed in the A Grade, B Grade and Colts.
Jerel Fromm voted best afield, popular club person and leader over many years, he was the only player to receive votes from all three judges. Angus Gunn picked up plenty of it, Matt Carey and Nathan Hebbermann all class and Damon King a wonderful match. Shard Gosling showed his League medal winning form with Josh Horgan good on ground and in the air.
Joe O Brien worked hard for the 'Dogs, some of his long bouncing efforts to lift the team were inspirational, and he must have been very close the A Grade selection, Kane Grocke a target all day, heavy work rate and hustle/bustle of David Moyse, loves a contest! Jaiden Nottle and John Mc Beath good games also.
The final margin blew out in the final quarter as the realisation that a premiership win was coming and the extra energy that this provides.
Congratulations to the Western Districts Tigers - 2017 Mid West B Grade Premiers
