Meander Valley Suns

Our Reserves and Seniors had a tough year on the field this season, however with our new Senior coach Brennan Savage we began building a solid foundation with a lot of young talent emerging through the ranks and hope to see some more success on-field in the 2023 season.

Our women had a very successful season this year, beginning with the recruitment of several new experienced players along with some young girls who were new to football and have picked up the game so quickly and fit into our existing group perfectly.

After a lot of hard work from the entire group, we gradually developed throughout the year and made it to our first grand final, which was the first Grand Final any Meander Valley Suns team has made since joining the league in 2014.

Unfortunately, we couldn’t get the win however we have set ourselves up for a very exciting and promising 2023 campaign.
