We wish to inform all members that Alex O'Shea has resigned from the position of Senior Women's Coach, effective immediately. Alex has been integral to women's footy at the Lakers since it's inception, with an enormous impact as both a player and a coach.
On the field, Alex had an incredible run, taking home four straight best & fairests, with the Senior Women medal named in her honour. She was named the WFNL Female Coach of the Year on two occassions, and was involved in all senior grand finals, having won a premiership as both a player and a coach.
She departs after an incredible undefeated year, even having a baby towards the end of the season and bouncing back for finals!
After so much success, Alex has decided it's time to step back and dedicate her time to being a mum. We wish her all the very best in this exciting chapter and can't wait to see her back for a visit!
Although sad to see Alex go, we're excited for the opportunity this presents for Mick Gerada, who has accepted the role of Senior Women's Coach. Mick has also been an integral part of our female pathway for a number of years, having been an assistant coach for our U18.5 Girls during their back-to-back run.
He brings with him a wealth of coaching experience at both junior and senior level and is extremely passionate about developing our women's program and ensuring there is a concrete pathway for juniors into seniors for many years to come.
Please join us in thanking Alex and welcoming Mick to the role!
💛💙🖤🤍
Great to see three more young guns re-commit for another year 🔐
Looking forward to watching these boys take the next step in 2026 🔥

Wishing you all the best as you embark on this new chapter together 🤍
Plenty of excitement when these forwards line up together and we're stoked that it'll happen again in 2026 🤩

It’s our pleasure to welcome the newest Laker to the family, with the recent arrival of Indiana 🩷
Congratulations Daniel and Melanie on the safe arrival of your gorgeous baby girl! And doesn’t Izzy looked absolutely chuffed to be a big sister 🥰
Wishing you all the best as you start your journey as a family of four!
Just two players remain from our 2016 Senior Men’s premiership and it’s great to see them both signing on for 2026!
As we approach the 10th anniversary of the win, Lewis and Jezza will be back to wreak a little bit of havoc across the ground and bring some important experience to the side.
Looking forward to seeing what the boys bring in 2026 💪

We're excited to share that in 2026, our Senior Women will join the Premier Division of the @edflfooty Senior Women's competition, and our Reserves Women will return to the @westernfnl Senior Women's Competition after spending a year with the EDFL.
Since the inception of the WFNL standalone competition, our Senior Women have featured in every grand final, claiming two premierships along the way. The senior side will join our U18.5 Women's team, who also claimed the EDFL Premier Division Premiership in 2025.
We would like to thank both the WFNL and EDFL for their ongoing support of this move and both teams are excited by the challenges that face them in 2026.
If you would like to get involved in this exciting new chapter of women's footy at the Lakers, contact us today! Training continues on Monday and Thursday this week and all are welcome to attend.
