TEAM INFO
Men's Seniors & COlts
In recent years, we have competed in the Subbies Division 5/6 competition, which is for clubs with up to 2 senior grades. Including pre-season, it’s a 7 month season with a few bye rounds mixed in to let you catch up on social commitments.
Typical dates are:
Preseason: Mid-February to Easter Weekend
Season: April to late August
Finals: Early September
​
Training
Our coaching team organises two training sessions per week. Tuesdays are largely fitness and skills-based while there is a strong emphasis on game plans and team runs on Thursdays. We’ll get the BBQ and TV out by the sheds whenever the footy is on after training.
We appreciate that work, education or family commitments can take priority on training nights. We won’t hold it against you on the Saturday. Just learn our calls, stick to the game plan and give it your all for the club.
Tuesdays & Thursdays: 7 to 8.30pm
Match days
All matches are played on Saturdays during the season. First Grade will always be scheduled for a 3.15pm kick off with Colts and Reserves playing the curtain raisers.
Everyone is encouraged to support all grades from the sidelines. It is club tradition that players are cheered on to the field through the supporter tunnel.
Typical kick off times are:
Colts: 12.45pm
Reserve grade: 2.00pm
First grade 3.15pm

After all home matches the senior team(s) host our opposition at Tantallon Oval for drinks then proceed up the road at the Great Northern Hotel, Chatswood.
