Farewell Doug Searl, 79.
He grew up with an absent father; yet would become a hugely influential coach of junior players. Adored by all. Coached 2 flags at Tigerland.

@davidking34 He loved the bones of you Kingy, he knew you were an AFL player in the making, he used to tell me all the time when you were in the ressies….yes with me 😂. He was ahead of his time with his coaching. He loved coaching young talented players. He would appreciate your kind words.

"The sacrifice wasn't worth the result it is now. What we fought for was our freedom, we find now it's a darn sight worse than what it was when I fought for it."
