Robbie Miller
What are you looking forward to in 2015?
Seeing our side continue to develop on and off the field, watching all teams continue to strive to be their best.
Which player do you think crowds will enjoy watching in season 2015 and why?
Daniel Lewis because he has the ability to do things most of us can’t do

Benalla and Seymour
If you could pick any player from within the league to be in your team who would it be and why?
Hard one as there are a lot of new players into our league this year that will no doubt be household names by the years end but on past experiences I would go with Lachy Smith (Benalla), he is a versatile player that can win you the game either back, mid or forward.
