EXV: Greek Titans

[Spinking]

Welcome to the 2013 Greek Titans Best and Fairest Awards.

I would like to begin by thanking all EZV coaches for the great fun this season has been. Some big matches, great banter and trades, trades, trades!!!

As coach I would like to thank Spite in particular for his work as assistant, particularly in jumping in while I was unwell at the start of he year. His foresight in drafting has largely been the reason the Titans have been the surprise packet of season 2014.

I'd also like to say thanks to Holz for inviting me to be part of this comp, and for maintaining its quality. I regard EXV as the purest, simplest and most enjoyable XV comp.


Season 2013 has been a great success for the Titans. Despite completing a full scale restructure and rebuild during the offseason, the Titans reached great heights and looked likely to play finals through a majority of the year. In fact the season went down to the last few possessions, in the last game before an eventual 9th place finish.

The Titans have taken great heart from this season. Our emerging midfield appears only another preseason away from being highly competitive, our defence looks like the best up and coming brigade in the comp, and a bit of luck will see some of our emerging forwards break out in 2014.  The Titans are aiming for finals in 2014 and will look to hold the EXV Powerhouses accountable.

So at the halfway point - Dan Hannebery has a commanding lead, but it is pleasing to see so many young stars polling strongly.
