A Message from Grattan United's Dean Evans.

Well, what can I say about the last number of weeks - entertaining, a challenge, eye opening and
fascinating.

Grattan United, the oldest team in the AUL. With a history that goes back over 80 years, we look at the past and we have won everything, multiple premier league titles in the past decade and numerous cups. Right now people have the wrong perception of the club and I want to put that right. Let's be honest, we have lost players over the past few weeks and the club is going through a period of change and I personally don't see that as a bad thing. As a club we wish all those players the best with their new clubs and we hope to see them all in the near future on the battlefield. When one door closes, multiple doors open, we can see where we need to improve.

When recruiting new players we don't want just anybody that can fill the gap, we want somebody that will play football the way Dinny Pops would want us to play; fast and exciting football that is a joy to watch. Many fantastic players have come through the club and Grattan is known for developing players into fantastic talents. I've set myself some goals that only I and the committee know and we will keep them close to our chest for the time being.

Some people might think the club is on its knees, but nothing could be further from the truth in fact the club has just climbed the first rung on the way back to the top. The club is in the ascension. It won't be easy, but that's football and we love it.
