On behalf of the new Management Committee, welcome to the 2011 season – the 91st of the Club (since it reformed after World War l) and given the outcome of the A Grade competition in 2010 – one which will again present enormous challenges in our quest to fight our way back into the top 3 of the A Grade competition.

Season 2011 will see the Club field seven teams and following our success with the E Grade premiership and the A Reserves playing in the grand finals there is the required optimism to have greater success in 2011.

On field in 2011, Scott Misich has been re appointed Head Coach and the Club is positive Scott will use the disappointing outcome in 2010 to spur the senior side onto greater heights this season. Shane Kiely is again coaching A Reserves and the club welcomes Chris Harris who will take over the Senior Colts Coaching role together with his assistant Cameron Palmer.

The third senior team will again be under the stewardship of triple premiership coach Tully Misich and the 4’s will see the reappointment of Neville Haywood. The Club also appointed Todd Wedgwood as coach of the F Grade and will announce the second colts coach early in the new year.

As one of the oldest clubs in WA football, the Club will be holding a number of events in 2011 and we invite all present and past members/supporters to be part of our club this season. On behalf of the committee I hope to see you down at “The Gil” regularly in 2011 and know you will enjoy community football at its best.

I have much pleasure in announcing Ross McCaffrey has again accepted our invitation to be Club Patron. The following outlines the committee for 2011:
