WEST FOOTSCRAY
Finishing the 2014 season in third place on the Division Two ladder, the Roosters had a strong finals campaign which saw them playing for a chance to take home the silverware.
Yet despite going down to Parkside by 38-points, West Footscray’s hunger for the ultimate prize is stronger than ever. With the Reserves also finishing in the top three last year, senior coach David Orchard is keen to see improvement in all teams and above all be competitive in 2015.
Teams fielding in 2015:
Seniors, Reserves, U12, U10 and U9 at this stage.
How has the pre-season been?
Pre-season training has been pretty positive so far with good numbers on the track and a few new faces. We have two practice matches coming up in March as we travel to Learmonth (Central Highlands) and host East Keilor (Div 2 EDFL) at Shorten Reserve, so that should be a good opportunity to get some game time into the boys ahead of 2015.
Any noteworthy signings for 2015?
To date we are still in discussions with a couple of players that will help boost our stocks.
What are your expectations for the new season?
As a club, our expectations are to be competitive again in both Seniors and Reserves.
Who are the young up and coming players to look out for this year?
We have a few young players coming through, including Jack Kelly and Hayden Bray who will bring a lot of talent and youth to the squad, while Simon Williams is also one to look out for, as he is due to have a breakout season.
2015 Captain:
Tobi Bray will again be our captain in 2015.
