𝐔𝟏𝟖 𝐁𝐎𝐘𝐒 𝐏𝐑𝐄𝐒𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍𝐒

A fantastic season for our U18s, who once again earned their place in a Grand Final. While it wasn’t the result we were hoping for on the day, the season was a great success, particularly in the continued development of this group as they prepare for senior football.

Across 59 training sessions, the players embraced the game style and direction of the coaching team and continued to grow both individually and as a group.

A real highlight of the season was seeing 12 U18 players make their senior debuts across the B Grade and A Grade. It’s a terrific achievement and puts both these players and the Club in a strong position as they transition into senior football over the next two seasons.

Like every team, there is a dedicated group of people behind the scenes who help get the players onto the oval each weekend. A special thank you to:

👏 Kylie Schultz, Team Manager
👏 Aaron Hines, Runner
👏 Matt Schultz, Assistant Coach
👏 Lachlan Murphy, Coach
👏 Jason Gloyn, Coach

A strong junior playing group enabled the Club to once again field an U17 team in the Country Division in 2026.

While this presented some logistical challenges throughout the season, the commitment and flexibility of everyone involved ensured our players had the opportunity to play regular football, continue their development and represent the Club.

The Club is incredibly proud and grateful for the commitment shown by the players and parents across our U16, U17 and U18 squads who helped make the season possible.

That collective effort was rewarded with an outstanding top-three finish and two finals appearances, a fantastic achievement for the team.

A massive thank you to the following people who went above and beyond to make the team work throughout the season:

Team Manager: Keith George
Runner: Andrew Bailey
