It is with pleasure that I present my Grand Final report to you as President of the Mid South Eastern Football League (MSEFL).
All roads lead to Port MacDonnell for the 2023 Mid South Eastern Football League (MSEFL) Grand Final and on behalf of the Mid South Eastern Football League I extend a warm welcome to you as we seek an exci ng finish to 2023 in all grades of Netball and Football a er a sensa onal season with some close contests having already been played in the finals series.
Thank you to Hatherleigh (1st Semi), Tantanoola (2nd Semi), & Robe (Preliminary Final) for showcasing your club facili es and for being excellent hosts in the three finals and I am certain today once again at Port MacDonnell will be no excep on.
Despite another very wet winter, the oval surface is in great condi on and all other ma ers will be taken care of under the leadership of Port MacDonnell Football Club President Cathie Williams.
I thank all of the League's member clubs for your efforts and achievements on and off the field this year as well as the work that you do in your communi es as leaders. People in our communi es are reliant on the social and spor ng opportuni es that are provided by the Football and Netball Clubs. Our communi es are faced with many challenges in today's world and our spor ng clubs need to con nue to be the hub of the community providing opportuni es and social interac on for everyone. We must always strive for con nuous improvement to ensure the long term viability and sustainability of the League and all member clubs. It is fantas c to see the obvious pride and joy in the support that goes for each club from their communi es and the people in it and I'm sure we'll see plenty of club colours and vocal support today in all football and netball contests.
One of the many high points of any season is always the interleague compe on. I thank all the clubs and players for their con nued support. The League did not play senior interleague this year, however our underage teams par cipated against the WBFL & KNTFL in the U15's & U17's. This was held on the June long weekend, which was well hosted by Bordertown. I take this opportunity to thank Under 17 Coach Reece Duncan, Under 15 Coach Chrissy Mules and their players and support staff for their efforts. Interleague football showcases our League and provides a pathway and opportunity for our players. MSEFL had five players Ben Gregory and Mitch Lowe (Kalangadoo), Kallan Bevan (Mount Burr), Wade Chant and Colby Monroe (Port MacDonnell) chosen in the SE Zone team to play in the SA Country Championships in the Barossa. Despite winning both games on Saturday we found ourselves playing off for third and fourth posi on on Sunday and didn't perform as well as we did on Saturday and finished fourth. Ben McGregor was an assistant coach, Sam Benne was our trainer and Ma Ballintyne carried the drinks.
As in previous years, imbalances on the scoreboard and lack of numbers have been issues in our underage compe ons. It is pleasing to see clubs con nue to work towards providing the playing opportuni es star ng at Auskick and the Under 11's as this is cri cal to sustaining our junior numbers in later years. Thanks also to Heath Sims, SANFL Game Development Coordinator – South East for all the support you provide at this level. I con nue to urge all clubs to work with schools and Auskick programs to provide that pathway for your next MSEFL club footballers.
Thanks to our Match Review Officers and Tribunal Commissioners that have been needed to adjudicate on a couple of occasions throughout the season and thanks for your commitment and assistance.
Neil Webber, our Umpires Director once again had another challenging year with many injuries and unavailability's, however good support and coopera on from clubs ensured that all posi ons were filled each week. The League s ll needs to gain new umpires to ensure that we con nue to have adequate numbers and to keep the umpiring panel
strong. I encourage any newly re red player or any person (male or female) that may be interested in becoming an umpire to come forward – training and assistance is provided and it is a great way to s ll be involved in the game that we all love. Our Umpire Scholarship is available to encourage and reward new central umpires and we hope that it will provide a pathway to bolster our ageing umpire panel. The League would love to hear from those that have just re red as footballers and even our younger males and females that have a love of the game and would like to be involved.
It has been a good season for the netballers and we are delighted with their successes and we are keen to con nue to build on and strengthen the rela onship again next season. Thanks Sara to you and your team on a job well done.
It is pleasing that the netball and football rela onships are con nuing to get be er at Club and League level, but there will always be ways to improve and strengthen those bonds. Both sports rely on each other being successful to ensure a vibrant and sustainable compe on in all grades.
All outlets of the Media (print, radio & web sites) have promoted the MSEFL very well, however I believe we all need to con nue to provide good stories to the media so that we get be er coverage of our League.
Xpress Signs have once again published the Budget this season online culmina ng in this week's superb Grand Final Budget publica on, which is a collector's item for all MSEFL enthusiasts and Clubs. Special thanks to the SE Voice for providing an informa ve print sec on of the Budget in their paper, which was greatly appreciated by many MSEFL followers.
We acknowledge the generous sponsorship provided by our partners and sponsors of the Family League –All of our season sponsors have been promoted in the Budget during the year and include the following: First Super, South East Property Sales & Management, Belgravia Sports Apparel, IDM Sports, Ma hews Petroleum, Sherrin, Thomas Foods Interna onal, Wa le Range Trading, Marjadah, Glenelg Football Club, Somerset Hotel Motel, Klas Bilt, In2 Trophies Monogramming & Workwear, Collins Court Butchers, Tony Pasin, Troy Bell, Nick McBride, Willow Financial Services, Hyland & Fox Signs, & DiGiorgio Family Wines.
So, where possible please consider our sponsors when you need anything, and then thank them for their support of our league.
The Presenta ons for Seniors and Juniors was once again a combined affair with our Netball partners held at the Millicent War Memorial Civic and Arts Centre. The day ran smoothly and we will con nue to consult with clubs to seek ideas for any suggested improvements. Thank you to the Robe Football / Netball Club for catering to the a endees superbly
Congratula ons to Mail Medal winner Port MacDonnell's Josh Woodall, Reserves Carthew Medal winner Hatherleigh's Ethan Bowman, Senior Colts Malseed Medal winner Tantanoola's Cade Kelly and Junior Colts Mansell Medal winner Glencoe's Kallan Price and all other trophy winners.
Please remember, as clubs, to look a er your volunteers and as supporters, to assist and volunteer your me / skills wherever possible to make your Club more successful and to share the workload. It really does help your club commi ees to know that they can rely on some jobs being handled – so well done to all volunteers that have assisted each club and in turn assisted the League in becoming stronger. The League and all clubs can become much be er with more 'Givers'' and less 'Takers''.
Thanks to all those people that have assisted me as President, especially all of the Senior Board Dennis Muhovics, Trevor Ling, Jo Michelmore, Jo Dean, Michael Houston & Naomi Mitchell along with the Junior Execu ve Graham Dowie, Gary Wilson, Steve McCann, Dylan Clough Umpires Director Neil Webber. All have worked well as a team and I hope we have delivered the needs and requirements of Clubs. The Board has been willing to share the heavy administra ve workload and I especially thank
my wife, Naomi Mitchell in her role as League Assistant Secretary. I urge all clubs that are not currently represented to consider nomina ng a delegate to the Execu ve. There is a requirement for someone with the following skill sets; liaising with the media with reports, IT skills, diplomacy, level headedness and to occasionally think outside of the square in looking at opportuni es and solu ons to the many issues that seem to raise their heads during every season. Thank you to friends and family that assisted in any way that you did. Thank you to all clubs that made me and all Board members welcome throughout the year. To those that provided any feedback on how the Board can be of be er assistance to Clubs, thank you.
As always, there will be sec ons of the Cons tu on / Bylaws, which need to be reviewed, and I urge all clubs to submit any suggested amendments to the Board for considera on.
We appreciate the support of Murray South East Regional Director and Community Football Board director Sco Duncan, SANFL SE Football Opera ons Co-ordinator Michael Mourbey, staff at the Community Football Board, and SANFL South East Regional Game Development Officer Heath Sims. Our rela onship with the Glenelg Football Club con nues to evolve and the opportunity for our young footballers at U18 & U16 levels has seen good numbers of footballers regularly travelling to be involved at the next level. This creates wonderful opportuni es for them to con nue their football journey
Our final crowds have so far have been excellent and shows that the interest in the MSEFL is the equal of any compe on in this region. The mix of mul ple clubs involved in football and netball final contests has helped to increase crowd numbers and add to the atmosphere at the ground.
Our football and netball region con nues to face a number of challenges to our stable environment. From my perspec ve, our League and clubs need to ensure that we stay united and are abreast of these outside pressures to make sure that we con nue to be in the best posi on possible going forward. Change at any level presents us with opportuni es and threats, so it is challenging mes ahead for all Clubs and the League. We must ensure that we con nue to work together, con nue to focus on our core objec ves in our clubs and League which include Facili es, Junior Development, Volunteers, Financial Stability, Risk Management and Community Ties, strive for con nuous improvement, and con nue to meet our market place, offer opportuni es for our volunteers and youth in order for all of us to remain viable, sustainable and relevant to our communi es well into the future. We s ll find ourselves in a situa on where we are s ll faced with uncertainty and the very real prospect of change that will impact our clubs and League. We must make sure that our voices are heard and that any change ensures the long term sustainability of all our clubs and our League is maintained and enhanced.
Finally, a big thank you to all partners and family of the Board to allow them the me necessary for mee ng their obliga ons to our clubs at various mes throughout the year with mee ngs etc. Special thanks to my family, all have put up with a lot throughout the year and your support is much appreciated for all that I'm involved in.
Remember that not everyone can win on the field, but we must all be winners off the field.
There will be some great netball and football contests in every grade today where seven of our nine clubs are represented and I hope that all players and supporters have some special memories of 'that one day in September'.
Be kind to each other and I hope that you have a great Grand Final Day and a safe trip home.
Peter MitchellWelcome to Grand Final Day at Port MacDonnell for the 2023 Mid South Eastern Football and Netball Leagues.
Well, where has the year gone? I can s ll unfortunately remember the horrendous weather we endured at last years Grand Final. In extremely trying condi ons for both players and supporters I must congratulate the Kalangadoo Football and Netball Clubs on their hos ng of the day. In what can only be described as horrible, we managed to get through the day rela vely unscathed, albeit wet and cold. Depending on which side of the game day ledger you were on, the condi ons were either irrelevant or made an already ordinary day unbearable. At the me of wri ng, the weather Gods were finally going to play the game and give us some decent weather in which to close out our 2023 season and I certainly hope that this is s ll the case today
To the reason why we are here todayCongratula ons to all compe ng football and netball teams who have made it here today for the 'Big Dance'. You have shown that you are the best two sides in each of your respec ve grades and even though only one of you will walk away with a premiership, your par cipa on in our final match of the year is s ll something to celebrate and be proud of Congratula ons to all our medal and award winners who took home individual honours at our presenta ons. To Josh Woodall (Port MacDonnell) who has obviously se led into his new role as playing coach with ease, took out our Mail Medal. To young gun Ethan Bowman (Hatherleigh), a previous Malseed Medal winner, showed his class in taking out this year's Carthew Reserves Medal. Cade Kelly became the first player to take out three junior Best & Fairest Awards when he was awarded the Senior Colts Malseed Medal for the second me (previously won it in 2021 with Ethan Bowman) and to Kallan Price (Glencoe) who had a very consistent season was awarded the Mansell Medal as the junior colt best & fairest. Kallan's father Adam Price is also a previous Mansell Medal winner and I'm guessing the Glencoe Football Club will be hoping for another stellar career in the same manner as Adam's.
Thank you and well done to the Robe Football and Netball clubs and all their volunteers for their catering, set-up and pack-up of the day
Special thanks to our final hosts so far this year in Hatherleigh, Tantanoola and Robe. The change in our by-laws now allows for the final venues to be scheduled without the need to alter them due to an A Grade side compe ng. This provides both certainty to the League and all nine clubs as to when it's their turn to host a final. Each final has been very well managed and this is a credit to your leadership and the many volunteers all our clubs rely on.
To Cathie Williams and the Port MacDonnell Football and Netball Clubs thank you for your organisa on and coordina on of today's season finale. I am 100% certain that the day will be a huge success for both the Club and the League and an ideal opportunity to showcase the unique atmosphere that is Mid South East Footy
This year it was our turn to sit out of the Senior Interleague compe on but we did
have our underage sides compete at Bordertown. Both our underage sides con nue to improve at this level, and this is largely due to all our club coaches, both junior and senior. We have a vast knowledge base of coaches within our League and it is really pleasing to see them come together over the me of interleague trainings and game day to improve the experience for all players. To our junior interleague coaches in Reece Duncan (17's) and Chris Mules (15's) thank you for your me and dedica on you provided to give the best in our league the opportunity to represent the MSEFL.
To the players and officials that where selected to play for the South East Zone team at the SA Country Championships - Mitch Lowe and Ben Gregory (Kalangadoo), Wade Chant and Colby Munro (Port MacDonnell) and Kallan Bevan (Mount Burr), officials Ben McGregor (Port MacDonnell) Assistant Coach, Sam Benne (Hatherleigh) Trainer and Peter Mitchell (League) Team Manager, congratula ons on your selec on and although winning both minor round matches on the Saturday missed out on a finals berth on percentage. This le the playing group feeling a li le flat Saturday night and subsequently finished 4th overall a er a disappoin ng game Sunday
To the League Board in Peter, Dennis, Trevor, Jo Michelmore and Jo Dean thank you for your commitment to our League. Without people willing to put club loyalty aside for the be erment of our league we simply wouldn't be in the strong posi on we currently are.
To the Junior League Execu ve – Graham Dowie, Gary "Tug" Wilson, Dylan Clough and Steve McCann thank you on another well run year
Our “Family League” is a unique rela onship between both football and netball. Thank you to Sara and all Netball Execu ve for your commitment to ac vely promo ng strong rela onships between football and netball, may we con nue to develop them at League level se ng a good example for our clubs to follow. It has been a pleasure working with you all this year
Congratula ons to both Sara Gray and Jacqui Cocks on being awarded Life Membership of the Mid South East Netball Associa on – a very well deserved honour for the reless and diligent efforts you have provided to Netball over a long period of me.
I must also give my thanks to Michael Mourbey our South East SANFL Football Opera ons co-ordinator. Michael con nues to undertake a great deal of weekly administra ve and behind the scenes work for all three south east leagues and has definitely made a difference to the at mes administra ve overload we are expected to accomplish.
To the biggest ques on in South East football this year – what is going to happen with football in the region? This subject has dominated board rooms, club rooms and Can Hill/Stubby Booths for the en re season. Yet, as we arrive today at season's end, we are s ll none the wiser ! One thing is for certain – the Mid South Eastern Football League is here to stay, and we are not at all interested in the purported and ridiculous no on of a 15 team league that was ini ally proposed. This
message has been repeated and echoed not only from the Board but also from clubs, players and supporters. The truth is, we differ demographically from our closest neighbouring league, and our ghtknit community culture reinforces our commitment to one another on and off the field. We are ready to defend the values we hold dear. Each of our clubs holds equal importance within our structure; we stand as equals off the field. With this perspec ve in mind, I firmly believe that the Mid South Eastern Football League will withstand the external pressures that may jeopardise some of our clubs, either through dissolu on or merger. Next year, it will be business as usual for us, maintaining our unity and purpose. As for the rest, they can please themselves! This year it was my ini al inten on to step back from the official Secretary's role upon the appointment of a new incoming League Secretary. However, as the saying goes, you can take the Secretary out of the League, but you can't take the League out of the Secretary!! I s ll found myself doing the work almost by habit and clubs also found it challenging in connec ng with someone new who lacked the knowledge and understanding of how a football league operates. Given the addi onal uncertain es surround the future of football in the South East, it became evident that we needed stability and a strong advocate for our League. The upcoming off season presents an opportunity for both the Board and myself to reflect and reevaluate and seek a viable solu on for the way forward.
To my close and extended family, who con nuously lend a helping hand and tolerate so much, expressing gra tude feels inadequate, even if I were to say it a thousand mes. Both Dad and I wouldn't be able to achieve what we do without your unwavering support and the occasional piece of wisdom, whether we ask for it or not. I'm immensely proud of each one of you for evolving into compassionate, considerate, and occasionally outspoken young adults.
Today as we play, support or just watch our great game please be mindful and respec ul of those around us. Be assured that all par cipants are trying their very best to assist their team to win and the nega ve and unhelpful commentary from the sidelines will do li le in achieving the objec ve. I am also yet to see an umpire change his decision because of the advice being offered from the boundary line. Please remember that umpires are doing a job so that we can play our great game, no umpires – no game.
And to all the players, par cipa ng in a grand final is an incredible journey, a memory that will stay with you forever. Always keep in mind the broader perspec ve and the collec ve teamwork that brought you to this moment. Give your all, unleash your poten al and embrace the unique atmosphere created just for you. We eagerly an cipate watching you shine on the field.
Enjoy your day,
Naomi MitchellWelcome to sunny Port MacDonnell and the prospect of four thrilling games of football.
I must commend the Port MacDonnell Football Club and the wider community for their outstanding dedica on and hard work this year, which has their playing surface in excellent condi on. Everyone involved should be jus fiably proud of their efforts.
Thank you to the League Execu ve for the support they con nue to give me as Umpires Director. It's not always an easy task, but the league's confidence in suppor ng me to develop and teach our umpire panel, especially in these mes of dwindling numbers, is truly reassuring.
To all my wonderful umpires for their con nued support and assistance throughout the season thank you. Your dedica on and commitment has been outstanding and it certainly helps to keep my stress levels moderate.
The excellent support we have received from club officials has been outstanding, from providing refreshments a er the games to supplying club umpires. We understand that this can be demanding at mes, but please know that your efforts are very much valued and deeply appreciated.
Looking ahead, the challenges of next year and beyond are evident, as we face a growing shortage of umpires, a concern shared by all within our league. We may soon find ourselves with just enough to supply A Grade, placing renewed pressure on club officials. Therefore, now is the me to approach re red players and encourage them to consider taking up umpiring.
To my wonderful, caring and understanding wife Kath, thank you for consistently being my rock, offering construc ve advice, and providing unwavering support in this o en stressful role, I truly could not do this role without your support.
A huge thank you to my goal umpires for their outstanding support during the final series. Your contribu ons have been excep onal. And to all the boundary umpires who have performed admirably in at mes challenging condi ons throughout the finals, thank you for all that you have done and I have no doubt you will con nue to excel today. Finally, I'd like to wish all the umpires the best of luck today. Your appointments reflect your performances throughout the year. Some may have missed out, while others are officia ng in their first grand final. Regardless, keep up the excellent work and savour the unique atmosphere that comes with umpiring on grand final day.
Let's s ck together to keep our wonderful Family League going, as we truly have an excellent League.
Neil WebberThe MSEJFL were once again excited to be a part of the Limestone Coast Regional Carnival which was held in Bordertown against rivals in WBFL & KNTFL. It's always a highlight of the calendar and it allows our brightest and upcoming talent to pool together and play representa ve football but also create friendships along the way that they will look back in later years fondly 2023 saw MSE retain both coaches from 2022 and this provided the players with some addi onal experience with both coaches having now played and coached at this level and are passionate about seeing our league compete and be compe ve at the highest level.
The U15's were led by Chris Mules who's record in all levels of football speak for itself and was very closely assisted by Brad Auld who has played at the highest-level mul ple mes. Coaches had a task this year in selec ng their final squad and looked to be one of the more even and stronger squads in recent years and we were excited to see what the carnival would bring. Game 1 saw us up against a KNT ou it that we looked evenly matched with across the ground. From the outset the boys looked very se led and managed to get going quickly with some slick ball movement and u lised the long open ground to advantage. The backline held strong in the first half repelling the ball constantly allowing our midfielders to go to work. This saw us with a narrow 3 point lead at the half. The second half we looked to go back into our shell somewhat and loose the a acking brand from the 1st half yet we remained in the game and had several opportuni es to steal it late but in the end went down by 10 points. Best players game 1 – Lachy Brierley, Kane Gilbert, Charlie Bevan, Ryan Lucas, Nate Von Stanke-Dowie & Kai Gilmore. Game 2 up against a very slick WB ou it that jumped us early in the first half but to our boy's credit managed a goal in the 1st half which seem to spark them a li le. The second half we were a lot more compe ve, registering a couple of goals ourselves and holding WB to only a few majors with the final score 11-6 to 3-1. Best players game 2, Casey Wilson, Lachy Brierley, Charlie Bevan, Nate Von Stanke-
Congratula ons to Lachy Brierley MSE Player of the Carnival and to Lachy, Charlie, Nate, Casey & Kane in making the Team of the Carnival.
U17's saw Reece Duncan at the helm for the 3rd year running and this year was assisted by very well creden aled senior colts coach in Jed Telfer. The squad was li ered with talented players with majority having played senior footy on a regular basis and a select few compe ng in Glenelg teams.
Game 1 we were up against a very much larger side across the ground in KNT. They jumped out of the blocks early in the first half meaning our midfield and defenders had to work hard for the 22mins but there were some passages of play where we managed to control the ball and pepper the goals but could only manage a couple of behinds for the half. The second half we seem to get our running game going, li in intensity and used the long ground to our advantage while also holding KNT back and this saw us outscore them in the second half and build confidence going into the second game with the final scores 8-2 to 37. Best players Cade Kelly, Kallan Bevan, Ellis Cushion, Connor Gen le & Braydn Hateley
Game 2 up against WB was a very even contest for the first half as both sides ba led hard and were very evenly matched over the ground. This made for some quality footy and good passages of play as we went into the half me break only 3 points down. The second half was a repeat of the first as no team wanted to give an inch and we had more than our share of the ball all over the ground but could only manage the 1 gaol to WB 2 to go down in a very ght contest by 10 points. Best players game 2 – Kallan Bevan, Connor Gen le, Cade Kelly, Ellis Cushion, Zeb Chant & Braydn Hateley
Congratula ons to Kallan Bevan who was awarded the U17 Player of the Carnival Aware, MSE Player of the Carnival and to Kallan, Cade, Connor, Ellis, Brayden & Flynn Peel in making the team of the carnival.
Overall it was one of our best performances
at the carnival in both grades and we should be buoyed looking to the future as these young footballers con nue to keep plying their cra and developing into our next crop of senior footballers.
Carnivals like these wouldn't be possible without countless volunteers like our trainers in Erica Hurley & Sam Benne along with team managers, mekeepers, goal umpires and those who run water, so a big thank you to each and everyone of you.
Special thanks to our Interleague Sponsors in First Super & Belgravia Apparel and to Addie at The Rocks Shop for providing drinks to all players across the three leagues.
Leading up to the carnival both Mt Burr and Glencoe allowed us to u lise their facili es and this is greatly appreciated.
Of course, the game doesn't happen without umpires and as with all carnivals we had Umpires from across the three leagues pu ng their hands up to officiate over the weekend.
A big shout out to the parents and families who have supported the players in ge ng them to trainings and to Bordertown, along with our 9 clubs in suppor ng players to represent our league.
A personal thank you to Macca, Cloughy, Tug and Naomi as members of the Junior Execu ve along with the Senior Exec as it makes life a lot easier having many hands to share the load to make everything happen behind the scenes especially on a day like it was Saturday with so much to organise.
To all the Mid South Eastern Football league players, thank you for pu ng your hand up and the commitment in represen ng not only the league but club & family and we hope you enjoyed the challenge of playing representa ve football. I would like to wish players all the best for the remainder of the season and hope that they will look back at their me playing representa ve football fondly and con nue to work on their footy cra .

HATHERLEIGH will add to its tally of five senior premierships with a hard-fought win over Kalangadoo in the Mid South East Football League grand final at Port MacDonnell on Saturday
The roof will be li ed at the Mission Sta on Road clubrooms later in the night as the ny township gets swathed in the blue-andgold colours.
Celebra ons at the Hatherleigh Oval will con nue well into the weekend and beyond as the local lads will have lowered the colours of the reigning premiers.
They would have also made amends for that miserable three-goal tally and 61- point thumping by the Magpies in the 2022 season decider at Kalangadoo.
I an cipate the winning margin might only be a maximum of three goals but that will be irrelevant once the final siren is blown around 4.30pm by mekeepers Peter Savage and Dale Bateman.
Despite qualifying for the major round in fourth posi on with the lowest number of wins and lowest percentage, Hatherleigh will win.
To sum it up succinctly, the Eagles have a spread of scoring op ons, one the best onball divisions in the compe on, in-form forwards in Brad Mitchell and Sam Telfer and are hungry for success.
The momentum is with them with impressive finals form.
The extra rest during September is not a key bonus anymore and, indeed, Kalangadoo have won their past two premierships a er playing in the preliminary final.
A third major round game in the space of a fortnight won't bother the Eagles at all as they have won their past two finals by around 13 goals each.
Hatherleigh have accounted for Robe and Port MacDonnell with plenty of run and carry which has served to unse le their opponents.
Robe had spent more than half of the season at the top of the table including an unbroken run of nine wins.
Port MacDonnell was impressive in the minor round and lost only two matches which secured it the minor premiership.
Like the Roosters, the Demons were le flat-footed by the running game of the Eagles on the big Robe Oval All Magpie forwards will face tough opposi on from the ght Hatherleigh defence which was seen at its best in the preliminary final.
It combined superbly to thwart Colby Munro, Kevin Thompson and most of their team mates with the seasiders recording a meagre tally of just two goals in the perfect condi ons.
It is very rare to find a minor premier kicking a tally of two majors in any major round contest.
Due to a knee injury, Saturday could be the swansong for Hatherleigh coach Gerard McGrath.
At the other end of the oval, Hatherleigh forwards Sam Telfer and Brad Mitchell have hit peak form at the right me of the season.
They have stepped up a gear to cover the absence through injury of Paddy Chay and Jake Wight.
Chay and incoming coach Tom Hutchesson had led the Hatherleigh goalkickers in the minor round with 38 goals apiece.
Mitchell and Telfer will get plenty of support from the onballers and the flankers like Hutchesson, Jed Telfer and Jase Bateman.
The winning edge for the Eagles will also come from its running brigade of skipper Will Chay, Telfer, Hutchesson, Lyndon Smith and Mikey Telford.
The vast spaces of the Port MacDonnell Oval will suit them perfectly.
High praise is due to the seaside community for improving the playing surface a er it was unsuitable for play for much of 2022.
There will be some tough decisions at the selec on table at Kalangadoo and Hatherleigh this week as the final 22 is chosen.
One consola on is that both clubs have their B Grade teams playing and they can absorb the unlucky and fringe A Graders.
Both teams are fielding new coaches from 2022 in McGrath and Al Lyon and only half the sides they fielded a year ago.
Hatherleigh won't have two players from the 2022 grand final who have le the district, three who are currently playing in B Grade, three who are playing at other clubs and three who are injured.
Kalangadoo has farewelled three players from the district, four are playing B Grade and two have transferred to other clubs.
The Magpies have won both head-to-head games in 2023 but the margins were not great.
Kalangadoo won at home by 8 points on June 3 and then again at Hatherleigh on August 19 by 12 points.
With key forward Michael Krieger transferring to Casterton Sandford over summer, the goalkicking responsibili es have fallen on Dylan Bromley and Ben Gregory
Bromley has the chance to become the first player to win senior premierships at four different South East clubs.
The versa lity of Gregory ranks him as one of Kalangadoo's most important players but he did suffer a heavy knock in the second semi-final.
Kalangadoo players can be proud of their efforts in 2023 in winning 13 games and losing just four matches to date.
Their fi h loss will be the grand final.
Predic ons (wet or dry): Hatherleigh to win Phil Muhovics Memorial Medal (premiership coach): Gerard McGrath (Hatherleigh)
Stan Jones Memorial Medal (best-onground): Tom Hutchesson (Hatherleigh)
J.L. “FRED” SMITH - SE VOICEIn today's Junior Colts grand final, the top two teams of the compe on, Glencoe and Port MacDonnell, will ba le it out for premiership glory
Both squads have displayed remarkable performance in the minor round, with each having lost only one game - and interes ngly, that loss was to each other, se ng the stage for an electrifying contest.
Glencoe secured a direct path to today's showdown by edging out Port MacDonnell in a closely contested second-semi final, with a final score of 5.5 to 3.1. While condi ons at Tantanoola were less than ideal two weeks ago, today's weather seems to be more favourable, allowing both teams to exhibit the full extent of their talent.
Both sides are loaded with skill and promise, with Glencoe's Kallan Price, who earned the Mansell Medal, and runner-up Harry Carroll from Port MacDonnell serving as pivotal figures for their respec ve teams.
Glencoe will rely on the likes of Price, Tighe Hurley, Kade Mulraney, Sam Haase, and Bailey Dale to take charge and orchestrate their plays. On the other hand, Port MacDonnell will look to Carroll, Brody Pra , Kane Gilbert, and the Lewis duo, Zane and Je , to shine.
Having been in this posi on last year, Glencoe may draw on the experience of "losing one to win one," but Port MacDonnell also have the ability to add to their success story. One thing is certain: this game will be a testament to the league's young talent and a fantas c way to kick off grand final day.
This year's Senior Colts compe on has been especially compe ve, with the top four teams not decided un l the final minor round matches
In today's match, Port MacDonnell and Robe will go head-to-head, both having secured victories over the ladder-leading Tantanoola to reach today's season decider
It's worth no ng that the record between these teams in 2023 stands at one win apiece this season, and player availability, par cularly for Robe, will play a crucial role.
If all of Robe's college players make the journey home and handle the long trip to Port MacDonnell, we can an cipate a closely contested match.
Hatherleigh has undeniably set the standard in the Reserves compe on for the past 4-5 years, with an impressive undefeated streak spanning the past 2 ½ seasons. Interes ngly, their last two defeats were handed to them by today's opponent, Kalangadoo.
For Robe, these key figures include Max Robertson, Flynn Peel, Jimmy Murch, and Kaiden Carter
Port MacDonnell boasts a roster of strong contributors across every line, with young talent Pa rick Robinson standing out in their recent victory over Tantanoola.
Robinson's ability to repeal numerous forward entries was remarkable, and teammates Jacob Spehr, Riley Morgan, and Luke Richards demonstrated impressive, a acking football.
This game is poised to go either way, and the team that se les quickly and applies that all important scoreboard pressure will have a significant advantage to securing premiership glory
Both teams enter today's game with a clear understanding of what it takes to succeed, as they were both here this me last year. While Hatherleigh narrowly clinched victory in 2022 amidst atrocious condi ons, today's weather and oval condi ons appear to align perfectly with their strengths. Hatherleigh boasts a well-rounded lineup, featuring young and agile talents like Ethan Bowman, Je Faulkner, and Harvey Jones, complemented by experienced playmakers such as Jase Faulkner, Joe Rayson, and the everreliable Tim Merre , all of whom rarely waste a possession. Kalangadoo obtains a lot of drive from their half-back line, par cularly through runner-up best and fairest Nathan Reeves and Hatherleigh will do well to ensure his impact on the game is kept to an absolute minimum. Kalangadoo's Jacob Simmonds and Chris Mules will seek to advance the ball at every opportunity, and having a champion like Ben Mules up forward is every coach's dream.
Across every posi on in both teams, poten al match-winners abound. Kalangadoo enjoys the luxury of a week's rest, whereas Hatherleigh wasn't overly exerted in their recent match. At the final whistle, there may be just a kick separa ng them, as is the closeness of these two sides and a victory for either team would be well-deserved.

Kalangadoo’s defenders Molly Peacock and Lexie Grosvenor will apply intense pressure on Glencoe’s Ella Stewart and Hallie Sealey who will need to shoot with accuracy in the circle.
Kalangadoo’s Ava Prosperi-Porta and Glencoe’s Layla Hawke will have a good tussle through the midcourt with both players figh ng to gain possession for their team.

Kalangadoo have won every me these teams have matched up and are likely to come away as Premiers, however the Murphies will fight hard.
kalangadoo
The Eagles and the Magpies are set to ba le it out for the 15 & Under Premiership flag. Magpies Shayden Russell and Lucy Egan are both able to shoot with accuracy throughout the circle, combing well and securing any rebounds necessary. Hatherleigh’s Hannah Bellinger and Poppy Fitzgerald will need to shut down as many shoo ng opportuni es as possible, turning balls over and working it back down the court with the help of Amber Chester and Leni Carruthers. Kalangadoo’s Chloe Peacock shows maturity and leadership on the court for her side, feeding the ball with accuracy into her goalies and applying defensive pressure throughout the court. Hatherleigh goalies Kalli Ne le and Sylvie Barlow will be under defensive pressure from Maya Anderson and Zoe Wurst and will need to shoot with accuracy to limit Kalangadoo turnovers. The Magpies haven’t lost a game all season and will likely win again on Saturday, but the Eagles won’t go down without a well fought ba le.
mount burr vs tantanoola
The Mozzies and the Tigers go headto-head in the 17 & Under Grand Final at Port MacDonnell on Saturday. Tantanoola’s Molly Cushion is an asset in the defensive end for the Tigers, playing well beyond her years and
combining well with Holly Walker Mount Burr’s Ashlee Dean and Jasmine Holland work well together in the circle and earn every goal for their side. Down the other end of the court Tilly Gamble and Macy Burns will get hands to ball for the Mozzies, applying pressure to Tantanoola’s goalies. Tantanoola’s Bella Poulish and Ebony Cytrowski will use their maturity and experience to guide their team on the court. Both teams have had a win when they have played off in the minor rounds and both have the poten al to come away with the flag, however the Mozzies will combine well and get over the line on the day.
Hatherleigh and Mount Burr will ba le it out to go home as the B Reserve Premiers. MSENA Best & Fairest Eliza Burton has proven to be a focal point in the circle for the Eagles and will combine well with Melita Thwaites, with both being able to shoot with accuracy around the circle. Mount Burr’s Dawn Smith and Rebecca Fox will need to work hard to shut down the influence of the goalies, who will be fed well from outside the circle Nat Chambers and Amy Haines. Sophie Jankowski and Ava Smith-Muhovics shoot well in the circle for the Mozzies and are supported from outside the circle by Zali Burns and Karen Hayward. Eagle defenders Fiona Jackman and Nicole Thomas will work over me to create turnovers for their side, working the ball back down the court to their goalies. Both teams have had a win when they have played off in the minor rounds and will need to work hard to go home with the premiership flag.
Kalangadoo and Robe will play off this weekend for the 2023 B Grade Premiership. Roosters Maddi Wirth

Kalangadoo will play off against an undefeated Robe side in the Grand Final this weekend. Magpie goalies Gina Gogel and Sophie Wrightson combine well in the circle and shoot with accuracy; however, the pressure form Robe’s Kimberly Aus n and Alannah Jennings will be intense. Any turnovers will be worked back down the court by Kim Ross and Stacey Woodward, who will feed the ball into their goalies accurately even under the pressure of Kalangadoo’s Lucy Williams and Jamie Ryan. Robe’s Sarah Laurie and Ashlee Hunt play smart netball, moving well in the circle and shoo ng throughout; however, they will be pressured by Kalangadoo’s Reanna Weatherall and Georgia Duncan. Robe have come away with the win every me these teams have faced off this season and are likely to come away as the 2023 Premiers.
Tantanoola and Kalangadoo ba le it out in the A Grade Grand Final this weekend at Port MacDonnell.
Tantanoola’s Keryl Ousey and Emma Gould are a formidable goalie combina on, using their height to their advantage and fed well from outside of the circle by Jami Walker and Kate Varcoe.

Best players - Glencoe: Hallie Sealey, Isabella Brierley; Hatherleigh: Livvi Faulkner, Luca Hamilton
Prelim final found us down in Robe, where the weather turned one on for the girls, making them work over me in the heat. It was a great game by both teams, where the first half had only a few in it up un l the last half of the game where Hatherleigh took a 10-goal lead on the strong Port Mac side. The defensive pressure all over the court from both teams was amazing, and there were lots of hands and intercepts to every ball. The second half saw Hatherleigh come out firing taking a 10goal lead, showing maturity and great teamwork. All in all, both teams put on a fight and showed that they were worthy compe tors for that grand final spot. In the end Hatherleigh came away with a 9-goal win, progressing to the Grand Final against Kalangadoo next weekend
Best players - Port MacDonnell: Bailee Lewis, Bree Ridding; Hatherleigh: Kalli Ne le, Poppy Fitzgerald
An intense start to the game with Tantanoola ge ng the first points of the game on the board. Some nervous errors by the Port MacDonnell girls saw Tantanoola push ahead early, making the Demon defence work over me. Accurate shoo ng by Bella Poulish le li le rebounding opportuni es but Stevie Collins capitalised on the opportuni es she created. Both sides started to re in the second half, the warm weather unfamiliar to both. Lilly Day worked hard in the goal circle for Port MacDonnell however Molly Cushion made her earn every goal. With a close last quarter, the Tantanoola girls managed to finish in front despite a last-minute run by the Bay girls
Best players - Port MacDonnell: Sophie Lewis, Ruby Moody; Tantanoola: Bella Poulish, Demi Bevan
Kalangadoo started the game strong with Kalangadoo Goal A ack Jodi Greenwood being the main scorer for them in the first quarter. In the second quarter Mount Burr started pulling lots of pressure all over the court and especially in the defence, with Mozzies Goal Shooter Sophie Jankowski finishing of well, but Kalangadoo defenders Brianna Devine and Gemma Box stepped up for their team, making their opposi on work hard for every ball. Both teams made changes at half me, and the changes went Mount Burr’s way outscoring Kalangadoo for third quarter. Mount Burr Goal Keeper Dawn Smith with her strong defence restricted Kalangadoo goalies shoo ng opportuni es. At the end of the third of quarter the game was even, se ng up for an exci ng last quarter Both teams went goal to goal at the start of the 4th and pu ng lots of pressure all over the court and chasing any loose balls. Mount Burr goalies finished of stronger and came away with win by 3.
Best players - Kalangadoo: Gemma Box, Brianna Devine; Mount Burr: Dawn Smith, Sophie Jankowski.
It was always going to be a tough match between Robe and Glencoe. An injury early in the game to Glencoe's Hayley Dunsford, forced the Murphies into posi onal changes, with Alyce Finnis moving to centre and Lauren Kenny entering the game at Wing A ack. Robe’s goalies Ella Mackey and Libby Yeo shot strongly in the first half se ng up a 13-goal lead going into hal ime. Glencoe made many posi onal changes trying to limit the Roosters opportuni es. Taylor Mar n came into the centre at hal ime and had an impact on the game. Despite inaccuracy in the ring Robe extended their lead in the 3rd by another 13 goals. Kayla McInnes at Goal Keeper for the Murphies ba led hard all day as did Alyce Finnis at centre. Glencoe won the last by a goal, but the damage was done in the first 3 quarters.
Best players - Robe: Ella Mackey, Taylor Mar n; Glencoe: Alyce Finnis, Kayla McInnes.
A hot preliminary final at Robe made for an intense first quarter. Kalangadoo’s mid court came out strongly and made Port Mac pay for some simple mistakes that they monopolised on. Nicola Collins worked consistently to put pressure on in Kalangadoo’s goal circle, but Gina Gogel shot accurately and was a great target for the mid court. Kalangadoo came away with a 3-goal lead at quarter me. The second was met with similar gusto by Kalangadoo and whilst Cody Manning remained pa ent, Georgia Duncan and Reanna Weatherall for Kalangadoo applied strong defensive pressure keeping Kirby Carrison scoreless for the quarter. The third quarter saw some changes for both teams with Carrison switching to Goal Keeper on Melissa Russell and Port mac bringing on their junior talent Sophie Lewis in Centre and
Lara Wilson on at Goal Shooter both proving their dominance with mul ple successful plays. Port Mac kept their pressure on but the pa ent feeding and driving from both Georgia Gen le and Lucy Williams made it difficult to shi the momentum. Shanae Neale was able to impact at Wing Defence with fresh legs and came out firing. Kalangadoo led at the third break by 15. The fourth quarter saw Kalangadoo prove why they deserve their spot in next week's Grand Final keeping the lead and taking the game 44-29.
Best players - Kalangadoo: Georgia Gen le, Lucy Williams; Port MacDonnell: Cody Manning, Nicola Collins.
Tantanoola started with the first centre pass to open up the first score of the Preliminary final in perfect condi ons for netball at Robe. Early in the first quarter scoring went with the centre passes with Emma Gould providing a strong focal point in goals for the Tigers. Tantanoola's goalies were under a lot of pressure from Sarah Edwards and Chelsea Owen, but their feeders were pa ent, protec ng the passes in. In Glencoe's goal circle Tayla Rowe and Chantelle Cocks were having a great tussle. Tantanoola's height in the circle was providing challenges for Edwards and Owen and Rowe was ge ng her hands to anything loose in the Murphies a ack line. At the first break Tantanoola had a 5-goal lead.
Again, the Tigers scored the first goal of the quarter and their defensive pressure all over the court was making the Murphies work hard for every pass. Glencoe se led, however Tantanoola stayed focused. Jenna Paproth worked hard at Goal A ack and her finals experience was evident in her composure. Kate Varcoe at Centre for the Tigers con nued to work strongly through the mid court despite the pressure of Donna Jaeschke. Keryl Ousey’s long-range shot was causing problems for Glencoe with rebounds at a minimum. The Tigers went into half me with a 7-goal lead.
Glencoe opened up with the first goal of the third quarter through Cocks. Some of the intensity felt like it had gone out of the game and the goals were going on centre passes with no change to the lead at the 5 minute mark of the quarter. Glencoe started to get their hands to any balls that weren't on target from Ousey & Gould, however both se led and showed strength under the post to help Tant out to an 8-goal buffer going in to the last.
The Tigers con nued to show pa ence and extended their lead to 9 early in the quarter with Ousey & Gould combining well with strong feeding from Varcoe and Jami Walker At the other end Paproth and Cocks kept working hard but struggled against the height and reach of Rowe who was fantas c in the last line of defence for the Tigers. Tantanoola booked their spot in the Grand Final with a hard-fought win by 10.
Best players - Glencoe: Chantelle Cocks, Chelsea Owen; Tantanoola; Keryl Ousey, Taylor Rowe.

Congratula ons to all our players playing today you have all put in lots of hard work to make it so enjoy it. This year has certainly been a funny one with players leaving, players coming, weddings, honeymoons and all the other things that pop up to make each week interes ng.

2023 has once again proved to be an unique year once again. We were faced with many challenges along the journey Once again, we the Kalangadoo Football Club have handled change and adversity in an efficient and produc ve manor
I would like to thank all our sponsors, given the impact Covid-19 has had on small businesses across Australia it is now more important than ever we as a club acknowledge your valued sponsorship and support. Without all your valued contribu ons over the past few years we would not be func oning on and off the field with the success we currently are experiencing. Thank you for all you do, I look forward to working together in the future. Special thanks to our 6 Major Sponsors, MG Plasterers, Steeline, Skookum, Planta on Treated Timber, Kalangadoo Hotel and the RSL.
We successfully held our 7th Indigenous Round, something we as a club are extremely proud and excited to support. James Brennan designed a special Indigenous Round Guernsey. Something he based on the close Kalangadoo Family and community that means so much to the Brennan Family. I believe this will be one of, if not the most important and significant days in the Club and Community's history
Our Junior Program has been highlighted as the most important part of our club. In years past we have struggled with Junior numbers and engagement. 4 years ago, we started up an Under 11's team, in the
1st season 2018 we had 12 kids playing. Now thanks to the hard work of our Commi ee, Adam Box and his cohort of helpers, we have 44 kids playing in our Auskick and Under 11's. A phenomenal achievement in such a short turn around.
Across the other 2 Junior ranks we have weathered a mixed season. The Under 14s were superbly lead by Steve McCann. The under 17s were led by Tommy Williams! The kids encountered a very tough season and managed 2 wins for the season. Thankfully both grades were excep onally well led by great junior coaches and great people. Thank you to Macca and Tommy for your reless efforts. The main focuses across both grades are enjoyment and development. The focus for future years is to grow these groups significantly and have a good base going forward for our senior grades.
Both senior grades have experienced successful seasonons. Both Reserves and Seniors are playing in grand finals today, with the Reserves, with the Reserves looking to end a 40 year drought. Adam Box coached the group with Harry Peacock. Both great leaders amongst the group and amongst the Football club and broader community. With sustained hard work and a focused group I think we can take another step in the right direc on in years to come.
The Senior grade are led superbly by 1st year and cult figure coach Alex Lyon and Assistant Coach Nick Pra . Al is calculated, methodical and concise, all
a ributes the playing group have responded excep onally well too.
I would like to thank all that have helped in the Canteen across the season. Led by Nicole Reeves on Saturday's and Darrell Hennessey on Thursday Teas. Nicole has once again ran the Canteen Manager's role and had another successful year, with sales and revenue at record highs. Well done to both Nicole and Darrell for all your hard work, it is greatly appreciated. To Bulljaw, Moorey, Benny Who, Brooksy and everyone else who helped at Benny's Hill well done and thank you for an outstanding year. Once again Benny's Hill proved popular amongst supporters of all clubs.
Thank you to the Commi ee for all of the support you have given me across the season. As I stated before we are a diverse, inclusive and forward thinking Football Club and that culture is driven from the Members who generously donate their me to help make the Kalangadoo Football Club and enjoyable place for everyone to be apart of. Boxy, Chris, Trudi, Jane, Andre, Aidan, Ben Tommy, Jonny, Troy, Brad, Benny and Sean thank you once again for all the support you have given me across the course of the season.
Enjoy the Grand Final and good luck to all teams compe ng.
Go Pies!

Another unse led year, and one of uncertainty regarding leagues, has tainted the season from start to finish, par cularly for those on commi ees throughout all the clubs & league/associa on. It con nues to be a thorn in the side of the great ‘Family League’ we are, and one we hope we can con nue to be.
Many people to thank within our Club, star ng with the coaches. Rob Whi y (& Amy) and Ross Stevens with the Under 11’s; Ma y Maidment, Mark Paech and Peter Gordon the Junior Colts; Je A ard, Will Vickery and Brad Cordy the Senior Colts; Tony Elletson the Reserves and Cam Sandercock the Seniors. Mixed success across the grades with Junior Colts and Reserves playing finals, and Senior Colts just missing out. We look forward to a few changes and re-structuring across all levels of coaching, and implemen ng our strategic management plan, to be a force in the coming seasons.
Thank you to our gate ladies in Ange and Sally, with Sally depar ng and moving on to a sunnier part of the country, we wish her well, and thank them both for their commitment to the gate over the years.
Jacqui Doloughan not only does the Secretary role, but manages the canteen and all the food ordering, and does so in a very efficient manner
Thank you for your commitment to the Club which has con nued for many years now. Jules Von Stanke excels in the Treasurer’s role and will be hard to replace, come the AGM. To the remaining general commi ee members, thank you for all you do, whether on a daily, weekly or fortnightly basis, you efforts contribute immensely to the successful running of the Club.
Many thanks to Sarah and the Netball Commi ee, and Daniel and the Junior Football Commi ee for working together with the
football to bring some fun nights to the Club, sharing Thursday night tea du es and the gate raffles. With everyone working together it can only con nue to build stronger rela onships, which will benefit one and all.
The Grounds Commi ee con nued to keep the oval and surrounds looking immaculate, and their efforts (while not many see them in ac on) get no ced and commented on regularly. Well done and thank you to you all.
We were fortunate enough to secure sponsorship from Thomas Foods Interna onal which, together with club funds, enabled us to put in a new electronic scoreboard, much to the delight of spectators and supporters from both our club and the opposi on. To our major sponsors, Mundoolun Dairying and Telford’s Rural Contrac ng, many thanks for your ongoing support, without which would see us hindered in our upgrades and facili es maintenance. To our fence sign sponsors, stubby shed sign sponsors, jumper sponsors, best player award sponsors and all those in between we thank you for your con nuing support, and we ask our followers, where you can, to support those that support us. Having a great sponsorship base is super important to small country clubs such as ours.
To all who volunteer across any role in the club, from team managers, goal umpires, mekeepers, canteen personnel, raffle cket sellers, stubby shed, clean-up crew, etc the Club wouldn’t be what it is without each and every one of you, so thank you.

Maurie PuiaWelcome to Grand Final day 2023 as yet another season comes to an end. Firstly to all teams both Football and Netball best of luck in your pursuit of the ul mate glory a premiership to celebrate your hard work and sacrifices throughout the year
I would like to thank all of our loyal sponsors both new and ongoing for your support throughout season 2023. Sponsors are essen al to allow clubs to survive and to con nue to prosper. I encourage all of our supporters to support our sponsors at every opportunity to give back to those who give to us.
2023 was another step forward for our club as we con nued to build and improve both as a playing group and a club overall. We opened the season with our Dane Swan gave which gave us some great exposure and showcased what we are capable of crea ng and providing. The mental health awareness game in conjunc on with Kalangadoo was another posi ve promo on and we thank Celeste for her role in this game which will con nue on each year
We par cipated in the Auskick program this year and we thank Ben Just for taking on this role to provide an opportunity for the younger kids to experience football. We look forward to building on this program going forward.
Logan Gibbs stepped up to help out with the Mini Mini's this year with the assistance of Aaron Herron. Numbers varied week in week out but they had a good run every week and all enjoyed the game and showed improvement as the season progressed. We look forward to seeing these kids progress through the grades in the years to come.
Josh Smith took on the role of the always difficult task of the Senior Colts. Whilst we were once again a bit light on in the numbers for the season we welcomed a few new faces and there are posi ve signs going into the upcoming seasons. We will con nue to pursue players to build this group. Whilst we may not
have got the results on the board there were definitely steps forward. We congratulate Archer, Noah and Calais on taking the step up into the A Grade on occasions throughout the season which sets them up into the future. With some con nued addi ons this group should achieve some regular success over the next few seasons.
Butch returned for the B Grade along with his offsiders Mick, Lynchy and Hilly and the boys con nued to build on season 2022 to be right in the fight for a finals spot deep into the season. Con nued improvement and commitment should see the group take the next step in season 2024. There were plenty of posi ve signs and some great footy played throughout the year providing plenty of highlights for the supporters.
Shane “Taz” Raymond stepped into the Senior coaches seat this year. From day 1 in the role Taz showed that he would leave no stone unturned as he sought to improve the list and the footy that they played. The effort, dedica on and desire to improve both our performances and respect as a team within the compe on was second to none. As a result whilst we may not of had a huge jump up the ladder we managed to get some more quality people into the club, we moved off the bo om rung of the ladder with a couple of wins, showed posi ve improvement and gained further respect from our peers. All posi ve steps forward as we con nue to build, 2 great wins along with plenty of good patches and some not so good that we will con nue to learn from.
Players and Volunteer. I would also like to acknowledge the support of the Netballers throughout the year you stepped up to a new level in your support of the club which is greatly appreciated and built the posi ve vibes and success throughout the year
Finally to our hard working commi ee we may have been around for a while but we con nue to evolve and move forward with the mes and take on the challenges that con nue to emerge. Another step forward and I look forward to your con nued support as we con nue to build our club and show our resilience and perseverance.
Once again I thank our loyal supporters and sponsors both new and long term and hope that you con nue your journey and experiences with us.
Our League is a close built community family league that has func oned well for many years and we hope that this will con nue for many years to come.
Catch you all in 2024 and thanks for your hospitality throughout season 2023.

Geoff Prest for the bar, Jim Thring for Dads Army, Sco y Robo for the gate, Ac on Fenton for the grounds and game day nuances, Brad Nunan for the booth and Em Vasek and Karla Hondow for the canteen and kitchen. Apart from stay in touch, we did not have to worry about anything in any of these areas and every single one of these people put in hours and hours of volunteer me purely for the be erment of our club. The dynamic ability of this club was demonstrated beau fully in our hos ng of the Preliminary final, if we needed proof of how well our team works together this day was certainly that.
Thank you also to our recrui ng team who have worked relessly throughout the year
to improve the depth and commitment of our senior players. On a personal level I would also like to thank my training team –Anton, Ella and Jesse, for doing such a great job. Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays all day is a huge commitment, and I couldn't do it without you.
We would also like to thank Kim Ross as President of the Netball Club for her willingness to work together and wish her the best as she hands over the reins. To her commi ee, coaches, leaders, and players well done on your incredibly successful year and we look forward to our con nual partnership in 2024. Good luck to the A Reserve and B Grade netball teams today – it is an incredible achievement to be playing in a Grand Final, we hope you are as proud of yourselves as we are. We all have our fingers crossed for you.
Lastly I'd like to thank all of those who I lean on throughout the year. Those who broaden my football knowledge, challenge my decisions, put their hand up at the last minute or lend their shoulder to rest on. I won't single everyone out by name as that will make for a very long list but to those of you who have spoken quietly with me or walked the oval by my side or taken my call to explain yet another football nuance, thank you for your pa ence and ongoing support. I couldn't do this without you.
See you in 2024.

Thank you.
Lynne Lambert, MBNC PresidentB Reserve: Well done girls, a fantas c win under so much pressure. We were playing catch up netball for 3 quarters. The last quarter showed what you were all able to do under pressure and come away with the win. We kept our heads up all game and we showed our figh ng sprint with every contested ball and this created turnovers, to get us back into the game. Im so proud of you all and today proved all our hard work, believe and support of each other to make the grand final. Lets enjoy this moment and come out firing against Hatherleigh.
Junior Colts: It was a great win against a strong Hatherleigh side to get through to a grand final at home. We played some fantas c team football from the first bounce to the final siren. We have an exci ng group and a Grand Final berth is deserving for the commitment and drive this team has. It was pleasing to see we had no passengers and everyone contributed when it was their turn.
Senior Colts: Couldn’t ask for much be er condi ons, playing Tant at home was always going to be an arm wrestle. A er star ng slow, the boys kicked into gear and played fast flowing skilful footy. It wasn’t un l the 3rd quarter we broke it open and took control of the game. It was never fully guaranteed that we had taken the
Moving into the Grand Final we face a strong Glencoe side that’s had the be er of us the past two ou ngs. We need to come to the game with clear minds and a posi ve a tude what will be, will be. We’ve trained hard since March and it’ll be awesome to play a final at our home ground. We look forward to the challenge and will tackle it head on. Go Demons!
win un l the final siren had gone. Coming out 20 point victors. Best win of the year so far, we can’t wait to take on Port Mac down at the bay in the big dance. Best players were Max Robertson, Flynn Peel, Jimmy Murch, Cooper Thomas and Kaiden Carter. Major goals scorers was Daniel Nunan with four
Congratula ons to our A grade and 17 & under netballers who have won their way through to the grand final a er amazing games in the prelim! Best of luck to you both this weekend. The club will be open a er the game with everyone invited back to celebrate the season and hopefully a premiership or 2. Congratula ons also to all trophy winners from last weekend's junior presenta ons, thank you to everyone involved on the day who helped out with the lunch, donated slices and cakes, trophy donors and worked throughout the day. As the season winds to a close we would like to thank all of our hard-working volunteers for all they have done this season. Every li le bit of help goes a long way and the more helpers we have the less load it is on everyone. Senior Presenta ons will be next Friday 29th September – keep an eye on our socials for more info.
Senior Colts: Last weekend seen us venture down to Robe to play
17 & Under: What a fantas c game played by the girls! So much hard work by everyone and we got the result we worked so hard for. Ebony and Bella worked seamlessly in the circle and shot beau fully, Charli and Demi med their leads well and passed with precision into the goalies. Demi, once again, you worked so hard for every ball and any loose ball had your name on it. Kailah had another ripper game in WD and made her opponent work hard for every ball. Molly and Holly ba led hard all game and created so many turnovers for the team. Kaitlin played so well in defence and stuck to her player like glue and got plenty of ps and created op ons into the a ack line. Such a team effort. Thanks again to Poppy for helping us again. It's not over yet girls, a solid week at training for us and then let's put it all on the line! Let's go girls! Best players were Bella and Demi.
A Grade: Great game from all the girls with our Captain Jami leading by example with so much
for a spot in the grand final. The boys were eager to give it their all and start well a er a poor display last week. The first quarter seen us get mul ple forward entries and put pressure on the Robe defence but unfortunately couldn't get the scores on the board, to Robes credit they took their opportuni es down the other end. A er an arm wrestle for the first half, we let the opportunity slip and allowed Robe to kick 5 unanswered goals which really hurt us. The guys gave it their all in the last quarter but ul mately came up short. Credit to Robe, they outplayed us when it ma ered. Best players were Cade Kelly, Ellis Cushion and Eli Bowman.

posi ve play and energy on and off the court. Tayla (Limo award) took some mely intercepts and con nues to improve her game. She was well supported by Kate B whose work rate doesn't go unno ced. You're understanding with each other con nues to grow each game. Once again the combina on of Emma who showed controlled and Keryl (New Heaven award) who mixed up her moves made it difficult for their opponents.
