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.

The Lions showed why they’re a contender come September with some sensational passages of play. Lachlan Beattie made a successful return after some time away, dominating through the middle of the ground and combining well with Joel Durham in the ruck. The tall timber got the job done at both ends of the ground with Ollie Munro working well across half back and Jack Radford extending his lead at the top of the goal kicking charts with a big bag of seven goals. Curtis Powell and Taiten Thomas played with determination to round out the best players in a fantastic all round performance. Best: L Beattie, J Radford, C Powell, O Munro, T Thomas Goals: J Radford 7, J Davey 3, D Short 3, T Thomas 3, C Lubeck 2, C Powell 1, R Gardner 1, N Davey 1 Seymour Club Seniors Seymour 17.14.116 def United 8.8.56 The Seniors game followed a similar pattern to the Reserves with the Lions dominant from the first contest, leaving the result beyond doubt from very early on. The Lions only took the foot off the gas in the final term, allowing United to add some respectability to the scoreline. Jack Murphy racked up plenty of possessions in the midfield alongside his partners in crime, Nic Quigg and Nathan Beattie who were able to stay focused, dominating their direct opponents. Cooper Holdsworth-Rose again showed why he’s a start of the future with his incredible athleticism and fantastic reading of the play. Riley Mason was a class above with five majors, supported well up forward by Nathan Fowler and a very lively Max McLean, who both kicked three goals each. The Lions will be back on the road next weekend to take on Tatura, looking to put another win on the board. Best: J Murphy, N Quigg, N Beattie, C Holdsworth-Rose, R Mason Goals: R Mason 5, N Fowler 3, M McLean 3, J Peris 1, D Davis 1, N Beattie 1, L Lubeck 1, N Quigg 1, D Giles 1

Lions re-sign stars for 2026

By Mitch Itter • July 31, 2025
The Seymour Football Netball Club (SFNC) has announced its first re-signings for 2026 with a group of five key players putting pen to paper. Current Senior Co-Coach Jack Murphy headlines the group, returning next season after a dominant year so far. Fellow midfielders Nathan Beattie, reigning Senior Best & Fairest winner, and Nic Quigg, VFL listed inside mid, have also both signed on the dotted line. Key forward Nathan Fowler will bring up 50 Senior games in his next outing for the Lions and will be back for his fourth year at The Den in 2026. Rounding out the five is Huw Jones, who has missed the entire 2024 season after a knee reconstruction, but will be ready to go come Round 1 2026. SFNC President Peter Elliott said these re-signings demonstrate the strong belief within the playing group about the list's potential. “We’re thrilled to have these five boys back on board for next season. It sends a clear message that we’re serious about challenging the very best teams in the league,” Mr Elliott said. “Jack Murphy has been outstanding as our Senior Co-Coach this year and his passion is unmatched. Nathan Beattie and Nic Quigg are star midfielders, and having all three on the park together will make us formidable in the middle. “Nathan Fowler is a true heart and soul player and a key presence up forward. We also can’t wait to see Huwy running out again in 2026. “While we’re out of finals contention this year, we’re focused on finishing the season strong and look forward to announcing more re-signings in the coming weeks.”
