COACHES CORNER / ASSISTANT COACH SCOTT STEFANOS
What’s the biggest focus for your group in 2026?
Our main focus for the pre-season has basically been to keep the core group of players, keep the same group, add a few and really drive to take the next step of winning our first final, and hopefully go further than that.
What will supporters notice about this team?
We’ll have a lot more speed. We’ve brought in some really fast players, so, a lot more speed and run on the outside which we maybe lacked a bit last year, and a lot more height as well.
What’s your side’s greatest strength?
I think our midfield is a real strength of ours. We've got a lot of really good players that run through the midfield, and it all starts in the engine room there, so that's where we'll try and kick start everything from.
What still needs the most work?
Probably defence, our defensive structures and that sort of stuff. We often could leak a few goals in a hurry last year, which is something that we’ll look to rectify.
What does success look like for this group in 2026?
Definitely finals, we are wanting to make finals again. We don’t want to take a step backwards and miss finals, so that’s basically our target. I think we need to play finals, and we’ll be aiming to win a final this year, which will be us taking that next step.
