The future looks bright for Violet Town football.
With an under-18s premiership under their belts in 2023, the Towners are not lacking in terms of talent.
But time is the key factor, and Violet Town needs players for now.
The Towners finished 12th last season, six wins a drift from a finals berth.
The signing of the prolific forward Brody Webster from Benalla, among a plethora of other new players, has got coach Wally Armstrong excited.
“Brody Webster, I’d call him the human highlight reel,” Armstrong said.
“But he hasn’t played a lot of footy in the last couple of years, so we’ve got to keep him sound.”
“We’ve got a few more locals on board this year, and our numbers have been reasonable.
“(We’ve kept) top-end players from last season, and we’ve also gained a few top-end players.
“I think we’ll be in the bottom part of the finals (or) just outside the finals. We’re certainly not in a premiership window right now.”
