The Senior Committee and myself would like to welcome Tony Austin and his family to the football club.  Tony who has been appointed assistant league coach has fitted into the group well and brought some new fresh training drills which we have been using over pre season.

I would also like to welcome Morgan Kuhl who is helping with our fitness this season.  Morgan is an Ambulance  Officer who does extreme fitness for fun eg: on day one of competition would do a 60km run followed by a 14km paddle.  He is another great asset to the group.

Welcome to the new players to the club - Alex Button, Joel Kay, Brett Smith & Steve Olsen.

The return of  Mark Marchetti, Joel Mattchoss & Steve Lawrence.

Colts under 17½  players Brendon Gower, Jock Foster & David Lawrence.

If I have missed anyone I sincerely apologise.

Pre season training has been going well and we have had good numbers attending.  The heat is always a factor at this time of year, but the boys are training well and are focused on the season ahead.

Leadership group are  Liam O'Neil, Ryan Viney, Clint Girardi, Mark Marchetti, Patrick O'Neil, Joel Kay & Jarrod Weyland.

Doc's challenge is on Thursday 11th March and starts at normal training times.  Liam's team has won the last two years so its time to knock him off and take the shield.

We will be having another internal trial match on Tuesday 16th March - can all players bring white training tops or something white.

Rumour has it that Lloydy owes Buttsy a carton over a bet made at training with the beep test - I think you should put it on the Pres gold card as you have had to tile his new bathroom over a long weekend !
