The club will have a light pre-Christmas schedule with training also on the next two Tuesdays before the holiday break.
It will be an opportunity for the players to meet the new coaching staff for the upcoming season.
First grade will be coached by reining premiership winning coach Craig Miller who has made the move to the club after winning three successive competitions at West.
Reserve grade sees the return of Daniel Smailes to the club.
Supporters will remember Dan was the last coach to win a competition for the club back in 2003.
He has coached some junior teams in the interim but was keen to get back into the grade scene and the club was fortunate to acquire his services.
Steve Dunstan will coach the under 19’s as well as being head conditioner while a third grade coach will be announced shortly.
The coaches hope to see as many players as possible at these early runs so they can communicate their intentions for the pre-season and season proper.
There has been a turnover of a number of players, so opportunities will be available if the players apply themselves.
