INS: Jorge Maxwell (back from injury)

After finishing with a pair of wins and two close finishes against teams well above them on the ladder, Girgarre is looking to pick up in 2025 where they finished last season.
Star on-baller Ryan Butler and goalsneak Jorge Maxwell will be like new recruits after playing just 10 games between them last season.
Butler kicked 11 goals in six games last year after missing the first 10 rounds of the season, but has a 13 game, 50 goal season to his credit with the Kangaroos.
Despite his diminutive stature his goal sense will be a critical addition to John Wilson’s team, which will again be led by key defender Harry Browning-Briese.
Wilson said he expected natural improvement from his young squad, on the back of two development seasons after the team played finals in 2022.
“It has always been a medium to long term plan to improve and remain competitive for a sustained period. All senior players have gone up a level with their pre season,” he said.
