Round 1

COVID Compliance
The Ballarat FNL last week sent clubs a list of COVID protocols that need to be followed so we can get the 2021 season underway. One of the key changes is that only players and officials are permitted in change rooms on Gameday. We respectfully ask that all supporters understand this and abide by what is a significant change to what you are used to. Players will be briefed and reminded again of the protocols that impact them at training this week.
A further reminder that all attendees at training or at matches must sign in using the QR code on display at the venue.
Senior Leadership Group
For those who missed the news, Braedan Kight will captain the Melton Bloods senior football team in 2021, supported by Liam Carter and Jack Walker as vice captains.
Kight has been a loyal clubman for more than a decade. Having made his senior debut as a 17 year old in 2011, he’s now played in excess of 100 senior games at the club, been the Bloods leading goal kicker on multiple occasions, is a three time BFL Team of the Year member and a dual interleague representative.
Leadership roles for other teams will be announced at our season launch.
Golf Day
The Meltonians Golf Day was a huge success. Thanks to all the volunteers who made it a special day to raise funds for our club and thanks to all the players and sponsors for the day!
