The 2025 season is just around the corner so EDFL Media will be previewing each club heading into Round One. Next, we chat to Greenvale coach Troy Newton who provides some insights on their 2025 campaign.
Coach: Troy Newton
PRE-SEASON FOCUS
"Our focus has been to enjoy the time we spend together. We’ve been slowly building the intensity at training. We want to look after the ball and bring our best effort to everything we do."
PLAYERS TO WATCH
"Because we are such a young side with many new players I don’t want to name any individuals here. We’re coy about a few players and look forward to watching them throughout the season."
2025 OUTLOOK
"Our goals are simple and vastly different from previous seasons. We want our players to enjoy football and the club environment, we hope to be competitive but won’t be judging our season on wins and losses."

EDFL MEDIA SAYS
The Jets finally won their way into Premier Division after a third grand final appearance and will look to make it their home. There have been some key departures from Section Road but Troy Newton's side should enter the season confident they can compete. They will gain some confidence from how Douttas performed in 2024 following promotion, with most of the Greenvale premiership side returning.
