Gil van der Venne succeeded Robyn Waters as president.
Andrew Ramsden was equal top of Premier Section goalkicking with 56 goals. Emerson Satur won the VAFA U19s Section 2 best & fairest award, and Gabe Hamilton was selected in the state U19 team.
The Firsts were in relegation territory after 9 rounds being in 9th position with only 2 wins and 7 losses. The Reserves weren’t doing any better at 8th (1-8). The 3rds were also finding Premier Thirds a big ask, being winless in 10th position. The U19s were doing a little better – they were 6th (4-5).
Sadly, things got worse. The Firsts finished the season in 9th 4-14, the Reserves also 9th (2-16), the U19s 6th (7-11) and the Thirds 10th (3-13).
A very disappointing year, and after only three years in Premier Section, relegated to Premier B Section again.
