It may be a year of heritage at Shepparton United, but this A-grade outfit looks all kind of brand new in 2025.
Shinea Sali has taken charge of the red and blue, who found some improvement under Laura Cole and Erynn Hueston with one higher position and one more win than in 2023.
There’s more to do for United to clinch that elusive top six berth, but Sali has made her priorities clear ahead of the new season.
“My first priority was mainly getting us to know each other as more of a friendship side of things,” Sali said.
“My main concern has been getting everybody on the same page; finals is definitely the goal at the top of our priority list.
“The talent is always there and the fitness should always be there in an A-grade squad, but there’s more you need to be successful than just talent.”
The Demons lose the scoring experience of Tamara Skinner to bolster Kyabram’s young side, but bring in two fresh talents under the ring.
“We’ve got a whole new goaling outfit with Abby Gilmore from Woodend and Taylah Lloyd from Mooroopna,” Sali said.
“Abby is coming two hours to train and Taylah was a United girl first, plus we have Montanna Burke coming from the Bears, so a lot of positions are new.”
