Firstly, and most importantly, stay safe and follow the government guidelines.
While football is exceptionally important to many of us, it pales into insignificance in comparison to the value of human life. During these unprecedented times, our club will continue to follow government guidelines in response to COVID-19. We ask all players, members, and supporters to also follow the government guidelines.
Though in saying the above it is our belief that there will be a 2020 season!
Following discussions with Sydney AFL we are working on the basis that there will be a 2020 season, in some form. While there a numerous options of what the 2020 season could look like; ranging from a full season starting in June running into October, a 9 week season starting in July / August or even a round-robin style season starting later in the year, these are hypothetical options but based on these scenarios there are 2 very important issues for our action
1. Players need to Keep fit
2. Players need to stay connected
To put a plan in place for both of these items we are having a meeting with all coaches (via Zoom) on Monday 20 April 2020. This meeting will be discussing how we ensure we have a whole of club strategy for staying fit and staying connected – with each coach taking the lead for a group of players. Stay tuned for more updates on both.

AFL Footy Tipping – Round 1 summary and update;
Thank you to the 50+ participants who submitted their tips in Round 1 of the Penno AFL “knockout” tipping competition.
While over 90% of participants selected a winning team (78% selected Richmond) we had a couple of people tip with their heart more than their head (Adelaide, Brisbane, and St Kilda).
We have taken the decision to cancel all the Round 1 tips and will restart the competition if and when the AFL 2020 Season is recommenced.
Contact Ian Parker parkeri@bigpond.com if you would still like to join or join via Team APP on the link below.
