We are very excited to announce that A Grade Men’s coach Michael Bawden is back to lead our senior men’s group for Season 2023. Having led the lads on a great trajectory both on and off field over the last two years, we are thrilled to have Bawds back to continue their journey.
A message from Bawds to the club:
I’m really looking forward to getting back into training as we prepare for the 2023 with high expectations.
We have a strong group of players who have shown excellent improvement across the past two years. The fantastic effort by the B Grade team to win the premiership shows we have quality depth at the club.
As we head into 2023 we are confident our outstanding young group will make the next step to play finals footy along with the recruiting of some high quality mids, and much needed scoring power into our forward line, plus a terrific group of lads graduating up to senior footy from our Under 18s, should set us up for a successful season in both grades.
