Dolan, intimated that he would not be coaching the side next year. He said, “This may be the last time I address you as coach. I will be starting long service leave for six months next February and my present intention is not to stand for the position next year’' Dolan said that he had had a happy association with East Fremantle and he thought that this year's side had worthily upheld the traditions of the club. The club president, Mr. Tonkin, M.L.A., said that the early season worry of the committee was how the side would get into the four. He paid a tribute to the work of Dolan and the captain, J. Conway, in getting the side as far as it did. (reference)
