Our season's been over for a week now and there are already updates for 2027 to share. So let's get the preseason thread going early.
Firstly, the football department has been dealt a major blow early with Trent Mynott stepping away from VFL football. This one hasn't been much of a shock - there were rumours about him going to Mornington circulating for a while - and it's hard to say a bad word about the guy after he's stuck with us for so long and helped get us back into finals, but he'd be a massive loss on his own and when you add him to the number of players who've departed over the past year - Murphy, Johnson, Smith, Blamires, Campbell-Farrell, and Coe - it's a bit staggering to see how much talent we've lost from 2025.
We do have a couple of good omens to balance it, thankfully. Jackson Kornberg is signed up as coach until at least the end of 2029 I believe, and Corey Ellison has committed for another season with us. Off the field, the club has signed a new sponsorship deal with Markscon which will see them becoming our naming rights sponsor and invest a million dollars into the club over the next few years.
