PRESIDENT’S
REPORT
Welcome to the 2018 season and we look
forward to continued success both on field and
off field. After several seasons of chasing that
elusive Senior premiership we have reset our
agenda to focus more on nurturing the local
talent and just as importantly on instilling our
community values throughout the club. Our
recruiting focus was on securing our home
grown talent and look forward to seeing our footballers and netballers
make their mark on the competition. An enormous amount of work
goes into recruitment, securing coaches, filling team support roles etc.
Thanks to all those that have done their bit.
The committee has been very busy over the Summer preparing for the
season and organising improvements to our facilities. The major work
has gone into a full renovation of our outdated kitchen. We have
installed a POS system for the bar and canteen, new bench tops for the
restrooms, new key system, and a multitude of other little jobs done
around the place. Thanks again to one of our major sponsors the
Neerim District Community Bank for their challenge grant, that has
made these upgrades possible. Also, to the volunteer labour that turns
a small project into a major upgrade.
Another highlight of our Summer was the club helping out the Neerim
Show Committee in running the rodeo and show. Without your help,
our town would not be able to run these events. To be able to rustle up
30+ volunteers on Australia Day weekend shows the great community
culture we have in this town.
To run a football and netball club these days takes an incredible amount
of time and dedication from all involved. Thanks to all that have helped
in getting the teams on the court & field and presenting our facilities in
such fine condition.
We will be unfurling the 2017 Reserves Premiership Flag, just before the
start of their game today.
Welcome to the Nyora club as we kick off the 2018 season. We look
forward to a “getting back” into the footy and netball, and wish all
players a fun, injury free year.
After today’s game, please join us in the rooms for a drink and pizza.
GO CATS!

SENIOR REPORT
Coach: Nick Humphrey
Welcome everyone to our 2018 campaign. This
week feels like it’s been a long time coming and I
personally am ready to move forward and very
quickly with our young list. This year is an
exciting one in a lot of ways, but none more so
than to be a part of the next chapter in our great
footy club.
After an off season full of challenges I can't wait to see our boys
develop and stand up as the new front to the club. After being a
player at the club for some time on and off, it was definitely
disappointing to have not got the success we were chasing and
were so close to challenging over the last few seasons.
Some players and coaches have moved in different directions and
this is not new to football. Our one hundred percent view, is to
focus on the young men who want to be here - and there are
plenty of opportunities there to grab that may not have been in
the past.
After a stand out pre season, I've appointed Aiden Dibsdale as
captain of the senior team and I’m sure he will continue to mature
as a player and leader.
Mat Churchill, as coach of the reserves, has been a great support
to me and really stepped up with his work behind the scenes. He
will be a huge asset to me this year as a first year senior coach.
Great to have had some of our 3rds boys want to apply some time
to our pre season and we definitely have a strong future with
some of the kids coming through, best of luck to Mort and those
boys.
We will have some big challenges along the
way and there will be lessons learnt and
mistakes made, but a huge focus will be
making sure we all enjoy this time together.
Good luck to all teams and the netball girls.
GO CATS! Humper
The Cat 2018
RESERVES REPORT
Coach: Mathew Churchill
G’day everyone.
Well we are on the eve of another footy year. I’m
grateful to be continuing in my coaching role and
cannot wait to get back into it. For the reserves last
season couldn’t have gone to script any better,
bringing a flag back home to the cattery. It was just
reward for hard work, not only last year but for our
consistency in the ressies, having been so close in the previous
couple of seasons under Hummers and we will be aiming to defend
our title this year.
Our off season wasn’t ideal. Having to see a number of team mates
and friends leave over the summer for other opportunities was tough,
but I wish them all the best with their future football endeavours. I’d
also like to thank Allan for the support he gave me in my first year.
He was a great mentor and gave me plenty of his time. Good luck
Ducky with your role at Gippy Power.
With plenty of faces leaving, we welcome many new ones and I
believe the future is looking very bright. In miserable wet conditions
at Boolara two weeks ago we saw plenty of positives from all grades
and there will be plenty of senior opportunities for anyone who wants
to earn it. Both senior sides that run out today will look very
different to the sides that finished in 2017, however we have a
fantastic young group with plenty of energy and I couldn’t be more
excited for them and the year ahead.
Good luck to all coaches. Mort with the 18’s boys, I know falling
agonisingly short last September, your lads will be hungrier than ever
to go one better. Pez, in your first season, taking the reins of the
16’s, all the best mate. From what I’ve seen on the training track
you’ve got them off to the best possible start. Lastly, the bloke that’s
retired 6 times—he cannot stay away! Boys get behind him because
he is putting his all in and he is right behind you blokes. Good luck
Hump. Also to the girls, hope you have plenty of success and all the
best for the year ahead. Welcome and good luck to Nyora today.
CARN SOUTH! Churchy

THIRDS U18’s
REPORT
Coach: Mort Diston
Like all football and netball teams, the pre-
season is over and today we are looking
forward to our first game of the 2018 season.
Our 3rds and 4ths (who could do with a few
extra players) have been training well with
consistently good numbers at training.
A practice match against Boolarra a fortnight ago (which was
predominantly a 16’s match) saw 14 of my 17 boys turn up to
play, which shows how hungry they are, to go one better than last
year. We welcome a couple of new players to the team this year.
Christian Robertson-Edgar who lives local, has come across from
Drouin and Bailey Ward returns after missing last year. Both will
be a great asset to this team.
Captain for this year is Rhys George. Rhys was co-captain last
year, suffered an ankle injury on the eve of the finals and never
got back to his brilliant best and he is keen to lead this team all
the way this year. Vice Captain is Josh White, who had a terrific
year in the 4ths last year and topped it off with an outstanding
finals series in the 3rds. This is just a natural progression for him,
as one day I’m sure he will lead this Club. Neither of these two
boys will let this team down when they are needed.
Once again I am very fortunate to have Deb Beck as my Team
Manager. I would be lost without her on a Saturday as would
most of the players. Aidy White will do the running this year. My
biggest problem will be getting Aidy off the ground once the
message has been delivered. We will have to work on that one!
Finally, I wish Humper (in his first year as senior coach), Churchy,
Pezz (in his first year at coaching) and all the netballers a
successful year. Have fun! GO CATS! Mort

FOURTHS
REPORT
Coach: Connor Perry
Welcome to the 2018 season.
I’m really excited (and surprised) to be
coaching the U16’s team this year. It is a
privilege to see these boys grow through
their footy and into their senior careers.
We have picked up Rhonan Perry, Tommo Crole, Jaccob Coad
to join the Neerim South Cats this year. We welcome all the
boys coming up from the junior U14’s.
We’ve had some good numbers at training and they are
showing good progress in skill and communication.
Unfortunately we will be at a disadvantage this year without
being able to play consistent games, due to the lack of U16’s
teams in the EDFL, but we are looking forward to having a
great season. Hopefully we will have a successful year.
Please come and see me if you are willing to help out on
game day, we will need water and boundary runners each
week. I am also looking for someone to wash the jumpers
each week, can you help out? Call me 0438 668 186.
Thanks to Andy Smith, Team Manager and Bec Smith and
Sian Clark who are my Trainers. Thanks to Aidy for
convincing me to take on this job, I hope to do White Air
proud!
Go Cats!

NETBALL NEWS
The netball club is very excited for
another season to begin and welcome all
new and existing players to the club for
2018.
Firstly, we would like to congratulate the
following on their roles for the 2018
season:
President – Nancy Rintoule
Junior President – Nicole Stringer
A Grade coach – Karlee Bennell
B Grade coach – Sharyn Lineham
C Grade coach – Peta Matthews
D Grade coach – Karlee Bennell
E Grade coach – Hayley Stringer
F Grade coach – Nicole Stringer & Jesse Darcy
During the pre-season, the seniors played in the Voyage
Cup Tournament in Warragul with both teams making
finals. With all the hard work that has been put in during
pre-season (thanks Peta & Zoe), everyone is excited to
carry this form into round 1 in our new dresses!
The junior netball girls have been training hard for
around 5 weeks now, however it has been extremely
pleasing to see some junior girls join in with senior pre-
season training. Keep it up girls! With good numbers in
each junior team, the girls are beginning to work
together nicely, just in time for round 1.
Good luck to everyone throughout the season.
Nancy & Nicole Go Cats!

The Cat 2018A CHAT WITH…..
Debbie Beck
Interview with Debbie Beck Editor of the
Cat, Thirds Team manager, 2017 Best
Club person, Business manager at NS
Primary School, partner of Davin, mother
of Harrison, Bailey and Rhys, proud owner of Tess and Meiko (the
Maremmas) who are chook guards.
My Earliest memory is learning to whistle. My father would teach me as
he sat in our outside dunny in Wonthaggi (shows how old I am).
At school I was shy and quiet.
I don’t like talking about myself.
My most treasured possession is my iPhone – I love it!
I wish I had been an astronaut. I have wanted to be one since I started
primary school. I use my telescope to look at the stars.
I wish I hadn’t: stuffed up an email recently.
At home I cook everything. I love to cook and I do the lot!
My favourite gadget is soon to be an Apple watch.
I’m very bad at kicking a footy, I was ok till my boys finished Auskick. I
can’t face a cricket ball anymore either!
I’m always being asked to help do everything.
It’s not fashionable but I love Abba.
The last belly laugh I had was when I was camping with family and close
friends on the Murray River over Easter.
If only I could be sure that Melbourne will one day win the premiership.
Bailey barracks for them (poor kid, I blame my friend John) – I follow
Collingwood.
My friends say I can cook.
The song I’d like played at my funeral is anything by Robbie Williams.
My greatest fear is losing my boys.
At the moment I am reading ‘A Sunburn Childhood’ by Toni Tapp Coutts
about life on Killarney Station, NT.
At the moment I’m listening to Spotify and my favourite old school band
is the Eagles who I have seen live twice.
My worst job was cleaning out the chook shed
I often wonder when I will be able to say no (Dear Reader, this interview
was only possible because Debbie didn’t say no).

EMBARRASSING MEDICAL
MOMENTS
1. A man comes into the ER and
yells ’My wife’s going to have her
baby in the cab’. I grabbed my
stuff, rushed out to the cab, lifted
the lady’s dress and began to take
off her underwear. Suddenly I
noticed that there were several
cabs….. And I was in the wrong
one!
2. At the beginning of my shift, I
placed a stethoscope on an elderly and slightly deaf
female patient’s anterior chest wall. ‘Big breaths’ I
instructed. ‘Yes, they used to be,’ replied the patient.
