He will be assisted by Tony McCauliffe, a former player and coach of Therry and Shaun Rava.

The Reserves will be coached again by James Saunders. James came within 3 points of winning a flag in his rookie year as coach. He has a solid list he can build on this year and hopes to go one step further.

Therry U/19's will be once again looked after by Rod Egglestone. After a solid 2008 season which saw a finals appearance Egglestone is confident of significant improvement in his brigade.

Warriors evergreener will be lead once more by Bob Lyons. He has extensive experience at this club playing well over 400 games. He will be assisted by his partner in crime Dean Boden.

And finally, 'the new kids on the block' team U18's will be coached by former Carlton listed player Steve Gumley.

The Club Song

It's a grand old flag
It's a high flying flag
It's the emblem for me and for you
It's the emblem of the team we love
The team of the maroon, gold and blue
Ev'ry heart beats true
For the maroon, gold and blue
And we sing this song to you
Should auld acquaintance be forgot
Keep your eye on the maroon, gold and blue
