2013
Club
Highlight:
Relatively
quite
season
on
the
park,
silverware
was
collected
by
the
Womens
Team
in
the
pre-‐season
Summer
Cup
and
the
Under
14
Girls
won
the
Knockout
Cup.
What
are
your
thoughts
on
your
first
three
fixtures?
All
fixtures
in
2014
will
be
difficult
encounters
as
all
clubs
are
striving
to
improve
on
2013,
and
meeting
the
Summer
Cup
winners
in
the
first
round
will
be
a
good
test
of
our
preparations.
We
are
confident
of
taking
the
game
to
all
Victory
league
opponents
and
so
will
be
aiming
for
9
points
from
the
first
three
rounds.
What
are
your
hopes
for
the
season
ahead?
Our
goal
this
year
is
to
progress
the
playing
style
towards
a
possession-‐based
game,
aiming
for
a
top
four
finish.
Biggest
rival?
Given
Glenorchy
Knights
have
two
ex
KLUFC
coaches
amongst
their
senior
coaching
staff
and
three
players
who
played
for
the
Club
in
2013,
it
is
fair
to
say
there
will
be
a
“little
rivalry”
when
we
meet
as
they
are
sure
to
want
to
perform
well
against
their
“former”
team
mates.
Who
are
your
key
signings?
Seung
Yong
JIN,
Jae
Young
CHOI,
Jack
TURNER,
Adam
HEDGE
and
Francis
KENYI
Any
major
losses
from
last
year?
Marcello
Marchioli,
David
Cooper
(semi
retirement),
Cormac
Collins
(attending
World
Cup),
Michael
Palmer
(attending
World
Cup)
and
Damien
Pearce
(attending
World
Cup).
Who
are
the
young
players
to
watch
from
your
club?
Lewis
Verdouw,
Angus
Souter,
Fionn
Collins,
Dean
Watkins
and
Jae
Choi
are
all
eligible
to
play
under
20’s
but
will
be
expected
to
be
strong
contenders
for
starting
roles
within
the
Victory
League
team.
