News Articles from 2009

3.3.2010 Round-Up from Membership & Family Day‏
Thanks to everyone who was able to come last Sunday for the Crocs Membership/Family Day.
It was looking grim early, with the first rains of 2010 trying desperately to spoil the start of our illustrious 2010 training. Yet this didn�t deter a keen Crocs crew immediately getting stuck into our first team task...patching together what is left of our 2009 marquee. It looked as though it had a tough off-season and in dire need of some trusty sticky tape to hold it firm through some early tough winds. With the Scout guidance of Brad McBride, we were able to huddle under and get reacquainted.

With a clear sky in the distance, this was enough to spur the boys to don the boots and get out on the snowless field. Connie clearly excited about the end of his winterschlaf, by wanting to start a mini pre-season game...you can never be too keen! The form looked pretty good from most the boys considering the lack of practise. Key position player/coach, Dee scouted the sidelines to hold the fort on the Crocs social-side, while forward liners Mitchy, Adrian and Disco ensured they kept uninjured for next week.

Captain Marv�s BBQ worked a treat and with no sight of Mr G Will, we could only hope he was holding off his troops at the other end. The Crocs, family members and girlfriends donated kindly to their stomachs, devouring much of the 40 burger patties, 50 sausages and a few crates of beers, all in-order to pump up the Crocs balance sheet.
All-in-all the day was a real treat, with the sun shining for the majority and people paying for their food and drinks based on the trust system, which again worked brilliantly.

To the new faces of Burgo and Henham, we really look forward to get on the track with you guys and thanks for dropping-by. To the boys who weren�t able to come, we hope to see you this Sunday 2pm for a big training session.

We will hand around the new Membership Forms on Sunday for everyone to sign. For those who paid on Sunday, we still need you to fill-out the form and update details.
New guernseys are officially arriving tomorrow morning by 9am, after some typical German bureaucracy tried to hold-up order. We will bring these down on Sunday and create new photos for our player profiles on the website.

14.12.2009 Awards Night at Belushis 2009
What a fantastic night for the Berlin Crocodiles!
An unbelievable crowd indicated the start of a special night for the Berlin Crocs.
The night marked the beginning of a new 5-year sponsorship deal with Belushis, who showed their committment with an extremely tasty and plentiful buffet.
With a crowd of over 40 people, drinks and stories flowed. The night highlights included an emotional farewell speech from our stalward Franky, another top motivational speech from benny and some funny reinactments from our in-glorious award winners.
The light shone on our no.1 man for 2010, Petey, who most rewardingly won the 2009 Steven-Powell-Award (Best-And-Fairest) in the Crocs premiership year. Well Done!
The crocs raised a record amount of money for the club, which will be used towards away games. Everyone who´managed to join deserves a massive pat on the back. GO CROCS!!!

30.9.2009 Grand Final Day Review
Saturday´s Grand Final Day at Belushi´s kicked-off the Crocs 1st fundraising event for the coming 2010 season.
The day was a great success with over ¤100 raised (still be confirmed by Geordie, if he hasn´t gone on holiday). The boys scouted around the crowd throughout the game selling raffle tickets and proudly spreading the word of ´The Crocs´ big GF triumph. Mitchy was hitting up the microphone to announce the winners, with a very kind Ninja handing-back his 3rd round prize for a non-Croc to win.
Special mention goes out to our own ´digger´ Adrian for his shear hard work producing 200 magnificant crispy pies, which were devoured by the fans with a big grin.

This is the 1st of many fundraisers which will be the start to helping our boys get to the away games and hopefully even an end of season trip.
Next event will be the illustrious ´Berlin Crocs Awards Night´. Details to be announced by approx. 05th Oct, so get those shirts ironed and mummy to do up your tie!

Cheers from the Crocs Committee

8.9.2009 BERLIN WINS GRAND FINAL!!!


The AFLG Division B Grand Final was won by the Crocs. The Rheinland reserve grade team were unable to equal the effort of their senior team, going down to the Berlin Crocodiles by seven points. For the Crocs, the win marked their first premiership in any grade. The hard fought last quarter made the match a real thriller. Dee Pabst was best-on-ground. For Frank Donat it was a fine good bye: after over 40 games he will be blowing the whistle instead of kicking wobblers.

24.8.2009 Emus were good Crocs-bait


The 17 Emus on tour had no chance on Berlin turf against a fired-up Crocs side keen to play in the AFLG Div II Final. With 27 members, of whom 22 were playing, the Crocs had a long queue of desperate players on the sideline - interchange was consequently used throughout the game. The leadership-group around coach Dee and AFLQ player Benny kept positioning in order. Pommy guy Guy had his first ever Aussie Rules match and knew how to convince. Mark of the match was from Jerome who caught the ball in Cricket fashion horizontally stretched. Peter kicked a goal from almost behind the goal-line and under pressure: the goal of the match. Crocs veteran Che Chappy Chapman was honored with a last-quarter-appearance and kicked the final goal of the match.
