Mark’s involvement in our Club was driven by a love of footy and a skillset in stats. Sitting in our timekeepers box each weekend, Mark’s keen eye captures the team stats each game. It’s in this role that Mark has got to know the players and become an important part of our Club.
In 2023, Mark joined the committee with a special interest in furthering Council’s Camp Reserve Masterplan and cementing our game-day operations.
Mark’s work at the Club is largely unseen as he ensures the rooms are clean, the goal padding is out, and everything is in order for each home game. We’re extremely grateful to have Mark on the committee.
