Swan Districts Football Club (SDFC) has boosted its leadership group for the 2010 season with the addition of Brett Robinson, Tim Geappen, Tallan Ames and Ben Colreavy.
The four will join Wayde Twomey and Matthew Spencer, alongside newly announced Captain, Josh Roberts.
All seven players were brought into the leadership group with an eye to the future as they are young enough to be involved with the Club as leaders for a number of seasons beyond 2010. Senior Coach, Brian Dawson said, “They have the experience and necessary leadership qualities to strengthen the Club… There is an expectation, on our part, that they can continue to evolve in their respective leadership roles and put their own stamp on the group going into the future.”
The new group is expected to push the team and the club toward greater success in 2010 after losing out to Subiaco in last year’s preliminary final.
Football Manager, Matthew Peach said, “The installment of these seven players as leaders within the football club is certainly reflective of a more hardnosed approach we will have to our premiership campaign in 2010.
“Their combined experience will provide the club with an example of how we want to be perceived both on and off field. Whilst we expect that our entire playing group take on a leadership role over the course of the year, these seven players will certainly drive our direction as a playing group and as a football club over the coming seasons.”
Dawson said, “The leadership group bounce off each other well, on and off the ground, and we look forward to what they will bring to the playing group this season.”
