Dookie United is set for a reunion with some old friends in 2025.
The Thunder embark on their first campaign within the Picola district framework since 2018 after seven years in the Kyabram District League.
Led by Travis Waters, Dookie’s seniors prepare to re-acclimatise as Greater Shepparton’s second entrant in the league alongside Katandra.
Some encouraging signings, headlined by former Richmond VFL talent Ryan Thomson, leave the teal outfit in a place of optimism.
“We’re pretty much with our full squad from last year,” Waters said.
“There are a couple of Melbourne boys not playing for us, but we’ve picked up three or four and we’re pretty comfortable with where we’re at.
“Obviously, being in the league a few years ago, it’s not completely new for the club which helps a bit too.
“There’s still a chance of one or two more signings in the near future, but we’re excited with Ryan committing.”
