Thanks Danny
We bid farewell to our Seniors Mens coach Danny Moore.
Danny joined us midway through 2019 when wins were few and far between. The change in atmosphere around the club was immediately noticeable. Performances on field slowly improved, albeit without the results reflecting this.
Thee was a memorable performance and win against the eventual league winners late in the season, giving a sure sign the tide was starting to turn and better days were ahead.
With 2020 being completely cancelled we hit the ground running in 2021 after what felt like 47 pre-seasons. By the time the stop-start 2021 season was called off, we were sitting 5th in the league having won half our games.
Season 2022 became our best year on record as we notched up 14 wins (+ another in the Cup) to finish in 4th place with 45 points. We finished undefeated against the top side drawing both games, and doing the double over then 2nd placed side.
We'd like to thank Danny for his hard work, professionalism, passion, energy and attention to detail over the past 3 and a half years. You came to us at an extremely challenging time for the club and then endured 2 pandemic ruined seasons, to say you leave us in better shape is a massive understatement.
#ThanksGaff and all the best for your next chapter

Update on Junior and MiniRoos grading
Having finished grading last weekend and assessed offline during the week, our graders and coaches met this morning to agree the best way to form our Junior and MiniRoos squads and teams this season.
We made great progress and whilst there are a couple of corners left to round off, we decided what we think makes most sense to aim for and we're ready to make offers to all kids that graded. We intend to do this age group by age group over the next week or in a few cases, possibly two, so please be patient. However we believe we can make a sensible offer of a team to join for everyone that graded - which is good news and is always our intention as a community club. With about 2 months until the season starts though, we're keen to get people joining as members and training commenced asap.
Below are the teams we think we can form assuming everyone who graded wants to join:
Girls
U8 potentially 1 team
U10 1 team
U11 1 team
U13 2 teams (including some U12 girls)
U15 1 team
U18 potentially one team
Boys
U8 3 teams
U9 1 team
U10 2 teams
U11 1 team
U12 1 team
U13 3 teams (including some U12 boys)
U14 1 team
U15 1 team
U17 1 team
Most of these have coaches assigned but not all so if you are keen to take on a role, please let us know. You will be welcomed and fully supported by a very enthusiastic and collaborative set of volunteer coaches and of course our Junior and Mini Roos coaching coordinator Paul Bryan.
General questions below most welcome.
Thanks

Coaching Coordinator Appointed
We’re delighted to announce the appointment of Paul Bryan as GSC's Junior and Mini Roos Coaching Coordinator for 2022. A new role for next season, Paul will be seeking to help all of our coaches from U7s up to U18s, both girls and boys, in:
- designing/planning training sessions,
- sharing coaching theory issued by FV and FFA,
- leveraging opportunities available to coaches to improve their coaching capabilities and in turn the quality of coaching our kids get at Gisborne; and
- generally helping us to install a culture that seeks not just to get the kids out there playing but also to educate them in the best way we can about how to play the game.
A Vets player with his own kids at the Club and a lifelong enthusiasm for the game, we are confident his personable nature and keenness to help will be a benefit to all our coaches and in turn, our kids learning to improve and love the game.
Welcome Paul!
