TARNEIT
Joining the league as the WRFL’s newest club last season, it’s safe to the Tarneit Titans have come along in leaps and bounds over the last 12months.
Creating both junior and senior teams last season, Football Manager Adam Taylor says the Titans have been busy recruiting more interest and players this year as they look to build upon the hard work of 2014.
Teams fielding in 2015:
We will once again be fielding seniors and reserves and whilst we are still in the mix of attracting players to our inaugural Under 18s team, we are also hopeful to field four junior sides and an Auskick.
How has the pre-season been?
We’ve had a very encouraging pre-season, with great numbers and a lot of new faces. We have recruited quite well and we believe through strong player and coach relationships that will certainly help us to be competitive.
Who are some of the noteworthy signings for 2015?
A couple of big signings to come to the club this season include Callum Docherty (Braybrook), Gary Bradford (Braybrook), Damien Harris (Wyndhamvale), Adam Mirikilis (Hoppers) and Cory Mackey (Wyndhamvale).
What are your expectations for the new season?
Now that we are on the map after a trying first year, our goals are to be more competitive with the view to have at least a few wins. We are realistic where we are at as a club in its infancy. We will be a lot more talented in 2015 which we hope can start making a positive impression and progression in the WRFL. In saying this, we are confident on having an exciting year for the whole club in its second year.
Who are some of the young up and coming players to look out for this year?
We have had another promising crop of young men leading the way this season, including our inaugural best and fairest player Tom Robertson, as well as Cody Ebbles, Zach Thornton, Adam Mirikilis and from a juniors point Alex Bell who is one of our talented under 14 players.
Any staff/coaching changes?
Max DeGroot continues as our senior coach after taking over mid-year in 2014. Max will be assisted by playing assistant Callum Docherty (Braybrook) along with Mathew Frost and Richard Smith. We are also pleased to announce Neil Dutson has been appointed as the 2015 reserves coach.
2015 Captain:
Ashley Fletcher will continue as captain for 2015.
Upcoming events:
This Friday we have our Special Easter Egg Hunt and Junior Pie Night on March 27 at Wootten Reserve (Wootten Road, Tarneit).
