Absent: Damian Mahon. YEAR 3 LIONS The South Perth Year 3 Lions team started the year effectively as a new team. with some players never having played football previously and, for the others, only a handful had played with each other before. What a challenge! However, the boys embraced this and have shown passion and enthusiasm for improving their skills. Their skills, particularly in identifying an open man, creating leads and maintaining a positive attitude even when the odds are against them are to be commended. Initially, adding the tackling skill this year was a difficult change but the boys really stepped up and now tackle confidently and effectively. Our boys’ sportsmanship is to be commended this year with all players showing camaraderie and fairness despite a wide range of skill levels. Thanks also to Nicole Taylor (team manager) and Steve Russell (assisting with coaching duties almost every week) – your help is very much appreciated. To the on-field helpers such as goal umpires, thanks to you as well. Also, thanks to all of the parents, grandparents and families whose enthusiasm and support are invaluable on game day especially those mid-winter early morning games. Our boys certainly enjoyed your presence and support throughout the year. We look forward to seeing the boys develop their feel for the game, particularly in regards to positioning and come back again in 2016 with even more enthusiasm.

Front: Charlie Lewis, Matthew Gibson, Griffin Mawkes, Blake Uebergang, Louis Smith. YEAR 3 THE BLUES Early in the year, the Director of Football Operations, Sabrina Yates combined with the coach to scour the nation for elite footballing talent and hand picked the best players to represent the newly formed Blues in the 2015 season. There was a lot to take in early in the season with the introduction of tackling and removal of player zones, but our kids adapted really quickly. Their willingness to learn and work hard at training made the transition to the new rules really easy. Although we had plenty of highly skilled individuals, we trained really hard and worked on playing as a team. This really became evident as the season wore on where they showed terrific teamwork in both defence and attack. It was wonderful to watch them start to talk and direct each other on the ground, show appreciation for each other when someone did something well, and care and encouragement for each other when someone was hurt or made a mistake. What I was most proud of was the respect they showed to the umpires and opponents. Often, we dominated patches of play and scored a lot of goals compared to our opposition, but our kids didn’t speak about the score. Also, on many occasions our kids were asked to play for the other team to even out numbers, and they did so without complaint. We had a diverse mix of kids, but they all shared an enthusiasm for the game, an appreciation for the team and a willingness to learn and improve. By the end of the season, some of the skills and passages of play were amazing for kids at this level. We had great fun all season, and the Blues were a pleasure to coach. A huge thank you to all of the parents and helpers who got their kids to training and games, this terrific bunch of Blues are a credit to you. Matt Raison, Coach – The Blues Thomas Yates.
