As announced in our last bulletin, we’re very excited to return Whitefriars and host Old Geelong in our final round of practice matches for 2010. With the main oval is in superb condition, we’re looking forward to welcoming a big crowd to Friar Park for the first hit-out on our home ground!

We’ll be running a BBQ for the day including a Bacon and Egg breakfast for the early starters...and there’s more! Our 3rd team begin their season on this day against Old Ivanhoe in the B Premier Thirds division. This is a new competition introduced by the VAFA to accommodate for the increasing number of players their clubs are attracting...location and timing of this game are not yet finalised.
Despite all this – and believe it or not – this day is not all about the footy!! All players, family, fans and followers are welcome to return to the club rooms straight after the seniors match to mix with the players, make some new friends, have some snacks and enjoy a drink in the company of the coaches and players from all our Friars teams, You’ll also have the opportunity to meet and speak with the committee and our life members. Here, you’ll be able to discuss the upcoming season, the plans for the Friars, the state of the economy as well as everything else in between!
Straight after this, we’ll move to the Functions Room at Whitefriars for the official 2010 Season Launch. This will involve brief introductions to the season from the president and coaching staff followed by introductions of our new players and announcement of the leaders of our playing group for 2010.
Drinks at bar prices and a BBQ dinner will be available on the night.
This will be in the Whitefriars College Functions Room immediately after the seniors practice match, with formalities starting from around 6:00pm. Get ready for a night of fun!! Free entry and no need to RSVP – tell your parents / brothers / sisters / neighbours / friends / and families....we look forward to seeing you all there!!
