JD Hayes was the name on everyone’s lips early this pre-season, with the Euroa star announced as Violet Town’s marquee signing back in October.
It was a sign of things to come, with a host of recruits set to suit up for the Towners in 2025 as they look to rebound from a difficult 2024 that yielded just one win.
But the club is coming from a long way back, and newly appointed coach Brad Gleeson is under no illusion about the size of the task at hand.
“I'm a realist, you know, 40 goals was a lot of their losing margins last year,” he said.
“My perspective on it is that if we can win more games than we lose, then that's a huge turnaround in anyone's eyes, so that's sort of the goal that we have.
“We're not setting any other goals than that we just want to be competitive, we're just trying to win games of footy.”
