CRANBOURNE captain Marc Holt couldn’t believe it after the Eagles went down to Narre Warren by a point in last year’s grand final with the very last kick of the season. Images like these will be forever etched in the minds of local football fans as the greatest finish in the history of the local game put an unbelievable exclamation mark on the season. Well it all starts again on Saturday when the Eagles travel to ROC to begin their long trek back to the top of the football mountain. Can Holt and new-coach Scott Sutherland bring home the silver ware or will the Magpies make it a three-peat of flags? Turn to page 58 for a preview of all the round one action, and for a fully comprehensive look at the season, including a look at the top 25 players in the league, grab a copy of this week’s Pakenham-Berwick Gazette. 106300 Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS
