Craig 'The King' Rynaard was a no nonsense footballer who rarely got beaten. He was an exceptional mark and could play either back or forward. In the 2001 Grand Final, Coach Shannon and Chairman of Selectors 'Co' moved 'The King' forward which had an immediate impact. One of the most popular lads at the club, 'The King' was known to tear up the dance-floor at many a club function. A leader of mischief on the footy trips 'The King' will be remembered for backing 'Manang' with a dwindling supply of footy trip funds and having a win. Hale 'The King' a legend on and off the field.
