Grand final heartbreak hasn’t dampened the mood at Central Park.
Shepparton East is once again poised to make a nest at the top of the KDL ladder in 2025 after an influx of recruits.
President Stewart Cook said he doesn’t want the club to get ahead of itself, but there is a good atmosphere at the Eagles heading into another season.
“There is certainly a positive feel about the club at the moment,” Cook said.
“We will just go through the process and try to do the right things each week and hopefully at the end of the year we can be in the same place as last year, which will give us a chance to go one step closer.”
After coming second in the best-and-fairest last year, Cook is tipping gun Jayden Dhosi for another strong campaign in 2025.
“(Dhosi) got injured towards the end of last year and probably didn’t have the finals series he would have liked or hoped because of that injury,” he said.
“He hasn’t missed a training this year and he is looking fit and ready to go.”
