OUT: Sam Fowles
Katamatite will once again be in the top four conversation this year, with some solid ins at Katamatite Recreation Reserve.
The Tigers welcome former Mooroopna big man Ryan Devine, alongside Josh Wheeler and the returning Tom Pendlebury in what will bolster an already strong squad.
Coach Jedd Wright said things had been shaping up well at Tigerland, with the side quite similar to last year.
“I don’t think we need to change too much, last year we were good, but injuries probably struck us down a bit, so we have changed our training schedule,” Wright said.
“We probably just need to play more consistent footy.
“We definitely want to play finals, but we’re probably hoping to finish around that top four and see how we go from there.”
Wright said Devine would provide a target up front, while a couple of the side’s middle-aged players were hitting their prime.
“Pat Riordan, Nicholas Clurey, these sort of blokes who have probably been a bit injury-prone the last few years, they are tracking really well,” he said.
“We’ve just been going about our business, but I really hope we get an uninterrupted year and that way we can see where everyone sits.
“We’re pretty confident that if we play our best footy we will be competitive most weeks.”
The Tigers will be there or thereabouts this year and are certainly in the conversation for premiership contention.
