On Saturday evening the Club held its first ever Season Launch a new concept to our club and an opportunity for players, members and their partners to get together socially prior to the season start and also see what the club and the coaches have a store for season 2015.

The venue might have been too big for the particular event but it was big on fun. 

President Paul “Hooch” Turner invited Coburg FC President Kevin Breen up to kick off the formal part of the evening and he shared his views on the progress VFL team and the relationship with Superules emphasising how important the alignment is and the unity it creates around the entire club.

Hooch then took the audience through the vision and objectives of the club highlighting that the club wants to become the Superules “Destination” Club and the number primary objectives are to make finals in the next two years and deliver a premiership in the next five years. See the whole slide pack here.

After a short break comedian Gabrielle Rossi hit the stage to warm the crowd up for the less formal part of the evening and the Coaches Grill.

Coaches Adam Bruni, Jamie Arnold and Paul Pitman joined the stage and Scott “Wiz” Ryan took over the microphone to ask the probing questions. 

There was a little bit of serious stuff with Adam and Jamie outlining their plans for season 2015 including a big focus on “effort”. Paul Pitman on the other hand had an entirely new strategy for the Legends with his game plan revolving around “pace”. He also advised us the he would a be playing coach with Gary Conway assisting him on the sidelines.

Each of the captains and vice captains were announced:

Premier Supers
Captain: Scott Ryan
Vice Captains: Mark Ryan and Kane O’Brien

Premier Reserves
Captain: Frank Massara
Vice Captains: Paul Zadolinnyj and Lex Maller

Premier Legends
Leadership Group: Theo Grimaldi, Gary Gardener and Ange Chiodo

Congratulations to all those appointed.

Paul “Hooch” Turner asked Pete Cummins to close what was a really good night. Pete thanked all for attending also thanking a number people of their contribution and support including Kevin Breen (Coburg FC), Gabriel Rossi (Comedian) and most of all Michelle Lewis for all the hard work in organising the event.
