COACHES CORNER / MARK MEYLAND
What’s the biggest focus for your group in 2026?
The first one was to retain the list and we have done that pretty well. Some of the Melbourne boys won’t be returning, but we have retained our players and recruited pretty well.
What will supporters notice about this team?
Hopefully we can continue to build from where we left off and continue from there with continual development.
What’s your side’s greatest strength?
The way that the boys cover the field, there is a lot of speed out there for us.
What still needs the most work?
Our skills are something that we have to continually hone in on and get right. We still had critical errors at times during the year and we are looking to eliminate that out of our game as best we can.
What does success look like for this group in 2026?
Success is the ultimate again, but we don’t want to think that far ahead.

I still don’t think we hit the peak at the end of last year, I think there is a way to go.
