Seymour 13 def by United 66

It was a lovely day at Deakin Reserve and the girls tried their hearts out contesting the ball all the way down the court.

While the girls were able to generate plenty of turnovers, they weren’t able to capitalise on these.

Today’s award went to Georgia Hadisutanto for being able to dictate and delay her player’s movement down the court.

We struggled to connect in the first quarter but improved in the second half.

A strong point was the ability of the team to capitalise on early turnovers, taking the game on.

The mid court worked hard to get the ball to our shooters.

Seymour FNC News

By Mitch Itter September 29, 2025
Big news has emerged from Seymour following the conclusion of the 2025 Goulburn Valley League season. Re-signings, new signings, and key appointments have Lions fans excited for 2026. History will be made at The Den, with Senior Co-Coach Ben Davey re-appointed for another season. Davey will become Seymour’s longest-serving senior coach, marking seven years in the role. Club legend Bernie Habermann previously held the record with six seasons. Jack Murphy will also continue as Senior Co-Coach after a sensational first year on the field, taking on additional responsibilities with great success. Seymour President Peter Elliott said the club was thrilled to have continuity in the football department heading into 2026. “We’re incredibly fortunate to have Ben and Murph re-commit for another year, and it’s set to be a huge season at The Den,” he said. “Ben is a legend of our club – a dual senior premiership player, Reserves premiership coach, and now our longest-serving senior coach in history, while Murph is fresh off another Best and Fairest. “Both Ben and Murph are high-quality, local people who will drive our club to new heights next year. “While this season didn’t go as planned, our list is hungry and can’t wait to get back on the track.” A couple of star recruits will bolster the Seymour midfield when pre-season kicks off. “With most of our senior list re-committing early for 2026, we’ve been able to add some exciting new players,” Mr Elliott said. “Xavier Dimasi returns to where he made his senior debut, following time in the VFL at Box Hill and a dominant period at Whittlesea. “He’ll be joined by Jaron Murphy, his former partner in crime from Whittlesea and a great player in his own right, who will add plenty of run and carry to our senior side.  “On behalf of the Seymour community, I’d like to welcome Xavier, Jaron and their families to The Den and we’re all looking forward to seeing them strut their stuff.”
