Tinkering with a winning formula is seldom encouraged - and for the Picola District competition’s three-time defending premiers, 2025 is no exception.
In search of a barely fathomable fourth consecutive senior flag, there’s no room for complacency within the red and black ranks with a series of strengthening moves made around the league.
Mitch Cleeland’s men are still the undisputed gold standard, however, and they enter season 2025 with the optimism you would expect.
“It’s not often you find yourself in these scenarios,” Cleeland said.
“We’ll put our best foot forward and see what hopefully happens this season.
“We’re hoping that, with a bit of youth from our thirds and some development in our reserves, things will fall into place again.
“We’re confident that the group we’ve got can achieve whatever we’re there for at the end of the season.
“Everyone’s looking to improve and catch up, and we’re under no illusions that we need to improve ourselves.”
