COACHES CORNER / JORDAN O’DWYER
What’s the biggest focus for your group in 2026?
To win finals. We have played finals the last three years and have been bundled out in the first final, so I think anything short of winning a final will be a bit of a failure.
What will supporters notice about this team?
We had four or five games against top six sides that we were winning in the last quarter and we lost. So hopefully, (supporters will notice) our ability to close out those tight games against the best in the league.
What’s your side’s greatest strength?
We have tidied up a few things about our group, but we will look to play a similar style to last year. Across the board we have brought in (some players) with better foot skills and class.
What still needs the most work?
We want to be a lot fitter.
What does success look like for this group in 2026?
We have a great mix of exciting youth and seasoned players that we believe can lead us deep into finals and that last game of the year.

We want to be the Cobram of the 2026 season.
