Welcome to our Website!

I’d like to officially welcome all new Dogs and their partners and of course past players back to the Club for what will be yet another history making season. The 2012/13 season marks the Banks Bulldogs 35th Year Anniversary and to date our record stands at 42 grand final appearances for 17 premierships – a truly remarkable record, and one that we aim to build on again.

This season Banks will enter into another historic season as we play in a four game trial in the Premier League. The trial should be embraced and looked upon as a fantastic challenge that will test the Club both on and off the field. The entire Club will be on display and I have no doubt that we will rise to the occasion as we always have.

We have re-appointed all coaching staff from last year and they have been in planning for some months now. Our coaches put in a huge amount of hours to plan and prepare and this should not go unrecognised as success is the measure of preparation and all augers well for this season. I wish Lincoln Jenkin, Tim Wolf and Mark Renner all the best for the season as we chase premiership glory. A huge amount of work has been and will be put in by a number of people – our volunteers are another aspect that sets us apart from the competition. Our Club attitude is to always help out a mate and get behind one another and the number of people putting up their hand to get involved is nothing short of spectacular. Throughout the season if somebody asks you to help out please make sure you do – better yet – take the lead and offer to do something.

I’d also like to acknowledge and congratulate this season’s Leadership Group – there have been significant changes to both divisions’ leaders and I am sure they will grow into their roles. Will Johnson will assume the mantle of Club Captain with Richie Baldock and Nick Twelftree his deputies while Shane Harrison and Tom Peters head up the Killer B’s. Well done gents on your appointments!

I’d like to thank everyone for their efforts thus far and look forward to another successful season for the mighty Banks Bulldogs!
