Football Training
As I mentioned a few weeks ago in my last e-mail I trust all Players who expect to play Senior Football with us in 2013 have maintained some form of fitness/conditioning during the break. We have a big 6 weeks ahead of us to get us right to play the practice games against Noble Park, Sale & Old Haileybury in the lead up to a massive Round 1 match against Beaumaris.
Some updates for you:
We welcome Chris Mangoni to St.Bedes Mentone for 2013. Chris was Captain of Sandringham Dragons last year and is currently Training hard with Collingwood VFL team under Dale Tapping. I fully expect Chris will make Collingwood’s list and play games with them during the year but he has nominated our Club to be his 2nd club. Thank you to Michael McGettigan for assisting Chris with employment also.
Similarly Tom Tyquin (Brother of) is training at Collingwood alongside Chris and Jack Hellier and has also named St.Bedes as his back up Club. Welcome Tom.
We continue to have discussions with other players in the hope they too join St.Bedes in 2013 & beyond.
I have mentioned many times before to the Players but it needs repeating – you Guys are the Club’s best source of recruiting Players. There are many players out there who have yet to make up their mind about where they are playing in 2013 – a lot of you see these guys out socially and we need you to sell the virtues of our Football Club to them where possible.
There is also some good work being done off the field by the new Committee/Board. I can assure you all that we are much advanced on where we sat this time last year.
Enjoy the rest of the week and the Australia Day weekend and I’ll see you all at Brindisi Street next Tuesday 29 January.
