First Ducks home game in Salzburg
“I’m angry and incredibly proud at the same time,” said Ducks Deputy Chairwoman. Gerd Harlander. “Sad that we didn’t win and proud that this was the best performance ever by a newly promoted AFL team and the best performance by a Salzburg football team in the AFL since the 1980’s. We now know where we are and what we are capable of and we will build on that .”
