Tallygaroopna coach Daniel Kirchen has one main focus for the upcoming Kyabram District League campaign and that is to lift his charges up the senior football ladder.
There were plenty of uncertainties before last year’s season, but not many predicted the dramatic fall of Tallygaroopna.
The Redlegs, the 2019 grand finalists, slumped to 13th on the ladder with two wins against their name.
A raft of player departures and the interruptions of COVID-19 left the Redlegs as one of the hardest hit clubs.
But with Kirchen now entering his second year as coach and with some new faces set to bolster the line-up, expect Tally’s rebuild to be a quick one.
“Our number one aim this season is to go a step better from last year,” Kirchen said.
“We want to get better and improve; hopefully we are able to win a few games and get a bit more continuity in our game.
“We want to keep moving forward in the right direction.”
Kirchen will have some quality reinforcements at his disposal for the upcoming campaign.
Premiership player Nic Fichera is back at the club in an assistant coaching role after a year at Central Park for Shepparton East.
Angus Harrington has come across from Shepparton Swans and will be a handy tall, while youngster Campbell Steigenberger is another to keep an eye on.
“(Pre-season) has been pretty good, we’ve been able to add a few new faces,” Kirchen said.
“Everyone is looking forward to the season.”
