• Farewell and special thanks to Krisitna Kluz who
  finished umpiring with us at the end of the
  Winter season. Kristina began in Spring 2004,
  achieved her C-badge in Spring 2007 and notched
  up 12 seasons of umpiring for St Thomas. We wish
  her all the best for the future.
• Congratulations goes to Kavita Dawar and
  Genevieve Shaw who achieved their C-badge prior
  to the end of Winter 2010 and now join Kate
  Yeowart as our Panel umpires. Thank you all for
  looking fabulous on the court each Saturday and
  continuing to improve the standard of umpiring we
  see at Vermont. Your reliability and enthusiasm
  is noticed and very much appreciated.
• A BIG WELCOME to our new umpires (Mollie Yeowart,
  Beth Storey, Charlotte Walker, Mia Petrowski and
  Maddi Williams) who all have successfully passed
  their umpires exam (which is now an online
  through Netball Victoria) and taken the court
  this season. With new umpiring tops and whistles
  they joined Stephanie Shaw (now umpiring a much
  higher level than last season) as the Team
  Umpires for St Thomas. The feedback from the
  Umpire Co-ordinators at Vermont has been very
  encouraging and the girls are to be congratulated
  on their positive approach and endeavours to
  improve their positioning, clear calls and
  signals each week.
• Looking forward to another successful and
  enjoyable year in 2011.

• "When we started training, every Thursday after
  school, We worked on our running and shooting,
  and our skills became really cool.     Now we
  have to get ready for season 2, Maybe some team
  changes, but Kristen and I are so proud of you.
      Nicole, we're so happy that you tried other
  positions each Saturday, she realized she like
  GK and she actually was OK.     Now Lana was a
  good listener and was always watching the play,
  she intercepted when she could, and was running
  around all day.     Lily didn't necessarily like
  playing C because of the running she had to do,
  but she enjoyed playing WA, and she could shoot
  goals, who knew?     Olivia would jump high just
  to get the intercept, And whenever a ball flew
  by, Olivia just leapt.     Abbey is short but
  has a powerful run, She look's for the pass and
  is always having fun.     Lauren Poulton loves
  her shooting and her defending as well, 'Can I
  play GS?' that rings a bell.     We are really
  proud of how Claudia has improved, she was
  afraid first of the ball at first but now the sad
  face has been removed.     Meg has her own sort
  of shooting style and is good at sticking to the
  opposition, She's not all confident at defending
  the ball but gets in a good position.     We all
  know that Lauren Baxter really wants to get the
  ball, But her shooting is spot on as she stands
  up really tall.
•      Our tallest player in the Hallinan team is
  Pat who has no fear, She is fast and reads the
  play well and dodges to get clear."    So thank
  you girls for a great season this year, and we
  are so glad that you let us teach you guys about
  netball and the results are pretty clear.

• Our team was a new team with Grade 5 and 6 girls
  coming together for the first time. The first
  half of the Winter season started off slowly with
  the coach and girls getting to know each as
  players on the court. The second half of the
  season saw the team come together with a positive
  end to the season finishing just out of the top
  four.
• Spring season at this stage is going really well.
  We have seen the girls skills develop on court.
  Their friendships have grown and they are working
  really well as a team.
• I would like to thank the girls, Ella, Sarah,
  Georgia, Rebecca, Rachel, Chloe, Kaitlin, Zoe,
  Jess and Amber. You have all been a delight to
  coach. Also, a big thank you to the parents for
  all your support, my team manager Mel and Greta
  my assistant. It has made my job this year a
  real pleasure.

• This great group of 9 girls have come together to
  become a well balanced team. They come along to
  training and take to the court each week with
  commitment, sportsmanship and a sense of fun
  everything that netball should be !
•  Caitlin A
• The team can always rely on Caitlin to be steady
  and strong no matter what position she plays. At
  home in goals but more than capable of defending
  or taking to the centre court.
• Samantha
• Sams commitment to improve her shooting this
  year with practice has reaped rewards. Shes a
  steady GS in the ring but also a very handy C.
•  Maggie
• The teams bundle of energy and speedster. A
  star defender and master of the intercept and
  loose ball get! Always giving her teammates an
  option on court.
•  Sarah K
• Sarahs determination in defence is an asset to
  the team. Her ability to place pressure on a GS
  is to be admired for GK is a challenging
  position to master and vital in any team. Sarah
  can also step up to other positions on court if
  she puts her mind to it.
•  Sophie
• Little in size and sometimes too quick for her
  own feet, Sophie is a natural WA always out for
  the centre pass and backing up the teams
  goalers. Her run on court makes her a valuable C
  and shes improving in WD all the time.
•  Victoria
• Our tallest player uses her height to great
  advantage in GK GS.
• In GK she often reads the play and intercepts
  those long passes and her shooting improves each
  week. Victoria will become a better player if she
  focuses on improving her footwork!
•  Caitlin S
• Our newest member has lots of energy and
  determination assets every coach loves in a
  player! Focus and control of her energy will
  mean Caitlin can play any position she puts her
  mind to.
•  Sarah T
• Sarah is the thinker of the team. Always
  striving to improve and learn new ways to play
  the game. This along with her commitment to
  improve her shooting style has made her a star
  GA/S.

• It has been so much fun coaching the girls for
  the past season. They have shown an enormous
  amount of enthusiasm throughout training and at
  the game.
• AMY was our amazing center player. STEPH G was
  our super team player. STEPH J was such a good
  shooter and defender. TARA was our terrific
  shooter. SOPHIE was our superb defender. RACHAEL
  was a really good center court player. GEORGIA F
  was our great keeper and attacker. GEORGIA M was
  our great giant defender. CARLY was our crazy
  interceptor. FREYA was our fantastic passer. From
  the past seasons these girls inspired us to
  continue our coaching experiences.

• CHARLOTTE
• Unfortunately, our coach cant attend this
  evening so we three players have volunteered to
  present this report to you.
• Sadly, Chatfield has had another season in the
  wrong section meaning our challenge each week was
  beyond our abilities but all has not been lost.
  We have improved our game which is evident in the
  set plays we are developing and our better use of
  the court and positioning.
• Another bright point is that we have had some new
  faces to our team Tess ONeil, Alice Laming
  (AKA Lamb) and Immy Bismann.
• This meant we had to say good-bye to two of our
  favourite team-mates Mel and Arna. Whilst we
  love our new team-mates, we miss you both -
  youre always welcome back girls!!!
• ALEX
• Tess, Lamb and Immy have fitted in really well
  with Chatfield and we hope they enjoy playing
  with us as much as we enjoy having them in our
  team.
• Together we have become experts on warming up and
  stretching endlessly before training and each
  game. Our coach assures us that this is
  essential rather than comic relief but sometimes,
  were not sure.
• Weve got a new star in goals as well as our
  steady players Eden McCormack has joined star
  goalers Charlotte and Alice Wain and provides
  another strong option.
• Mollie still loves the GK bib but has discovered
  the fun to be had in mid-court with WD. Georgia
  and Cecile never waiver with their speed and
  agility, bringing the ball down to goals and
  weve all been working on our centre passes.
•  MOLLIE
• Weve been missing our team mermaid Emily
  Crawshaw who has retired to focus on swimming
  commitments but she comes back to make the
  occasional cameo appearance.
• Alex as always speeds around the court providing
  back up to others and many intercepts for our
  team. Immy is developing as a strong
  alternative in defence, both in WD and GK. Tess
  now stars in the GD bib, filling the void from
  when Arna left and Alice Laming shows great
  strength in providing support for Cecile as WA
  and even in GA.
• Weve all been working on our goaling techniques
  bend the knees, support arm straight and
  against the ear, etc... but it appears to be
  working with many of our players keen to take on
  the role.
• We hope that next year we have a bit more success
  on the score board but we still love Chatfield.
•  ALL
• Next season will be our best ever Go Chatfield!

• This year has been a very exciting and successful
  one for ODonnel!
• The team, consists of Georgia, Jess, Gen, Annie,
  Sammie, Ash, Steph, Em, myself
• and we were lucky enough to get Machaela to play
  a few games with us
• which was a great help for the team!
• In the first season, we played consistently well
  throughout the year and played some well-fought
  nail-bitters against our rivals the Aces.
• With our die-hard fan parents cheering on the
  sideline and Steph Shaw in a blue morph-suit, we
  earned our spot in the Grand Final.
• It was a fantastic game with all the girls
  playing the best netball theyve played all
  season I couldnt have been more proud as
  coach. We all battled until the end but were
  unfortunately beaten by Aces - the better team
  on the day.
• Unfortunately this season Annie, who has been
  with the St. Thomas Netball for many years now
  had to pull out of the team because of other
  priorities. Although we were sad to lose her, we
  have fought on and have continued on with our
  best form ever and have only lost one game to
  date.
• With Machaela playing with us, we are the new
  threat in Championship section.
