Bonbeach FNC
Frankston YCW FNC THE Frankston YCW Stonecats had a rollercoaster year in 2018, recovering from a massive losing streak to make finals. The Stonecats showed the form that has seen them dominate for the last decade when they started the season off with a win, but they ended up on a seven game losing streak. They were hampered by injuries and lost long time ruckman Ash Eames to retirement. Frankston YCW recovered brilliantly to finish the regular season with 9 wins and one draw, just scraping into finals. Frankston YCW won their first final but were eventually knocked out by Mt Eliza on the back of a big performance from Jordan Moncrieff. The emergence of young ruckman Macklin Raine was a highlight.
After being grand finalists in 2017, Bonbeach had a disappointing 2018. They won seven games and fell short of the finals. Bonbeach finished seventh on the ladder, just behind the Frankston Bombers. The star player for Bonbeach was Trent Dennis–Lane who booted in 46 goals in 17 games. Trent averaged 2.71 goals per game. In 2019 the club expects improved results across all football and netball teams.

Pines FNC
Rosebud FNC
PINES will be looking to go back to back after a fantastic season which saw them win the grand final. Pines won the premiership in thrilling fashion, kicking a point after the siren. Their star player of the season was league best and fairest winner Paul Scanlon. Their season was also helped by former AFL forward Aaron Edwards, who kicked a total of 72 goals in 19 matches. One key offseason signing was former Richmond forward Robin Nahas. Senior Coach Paddy Swayn said that the 2018 season was “an overall success because of our fantastic run in the finals.” “Our main focus this year would to be more consistent and win more games, while staying fit and healthy until the end of the season. Our goal is to win the premiership and go back to back”.
ROSEBUD had a surprisingly disappointing season, finishing in ninth place. They only won four games and they were nowhere near making the finals. They won their first game of the season 77-67 but they didn’t get another win until two months later. Their 2019 season will be overseen by a fresh pair of eyes with former premiership coach Nick Jewell, son of former Tigers premiership coach Tony Jewell, returning to the helm. Their 2018 Senior Coach Adrian McBean said “I thought 2018 was a very good season because of the team’s attitude and because of the team chemistry.” “The club could improve on recruiting new players and bringing in some fresh talent to help them win more games,”
