The Dragons in their 20th year of operation played a total of 21 games throughout the season for a 20 and 1 win/loss record. 16 of these games were international encounters with the remaining being games against the Pokfulam Vikings and the Darkside Dragons. Of particular interest is the fact there were a total of 72 individual players who pulled on a Dragons jumper to play in an international game in 2010, a stat that bodes very well for the onfield progress of the club.

Of the 72 players 28 played their first game for the club, 3 players (Christian Romano, Chris Adams & Thomas Murphy) were under the age of 18 (with Thomas being just 13 years of age when he bagged 2 majors on debut against Vietnam early in the season) and 7 were not born, nor played football, in Australia. Of the tours we had 36 players attend the Asian Champs in Shanghai (along with 6 support staff) being the largest touring squad of the year followed by 28, where we fielded 2 sides and won the annual Manila 12 a-side Cup for the 3rd year in succession. In HK we had a total of 42 Hong Kong players at Kai Tak Oval for the China Cup weekend (again fielding 2 sides), 31 players in Stanley for the season opener against Pokfulam and Macau and 30 players at Kings Park for the Singapore tour in July.

From an individual perspective the club received its 4th ‘Player of the Championship’ award (from 10 tournaments) when Troy ‘Woody’ Clements received this honor at the Asian Champs in Shanghai. Troy also went on to claim the coveted Ray Wood medal for the fairest & best Dragon in 2010. Interestingly this award has now been received by a South Australian on 8 occasions out of the 20 years the award has been given. It has also been won by a player of ex SANFL or WAFL level 5 out of the past 10 years.

All in all it was a very successful year for the club and we look forward to building on that success in 2011 and beyond.
