23.01.2022 Rattya ready to go further in 2021 Joel Rattya came across to Albanvale in 2019 season from Melton FC. Joel showed a lot of promise during the preseason with his fitness levels and clean skill level. Joel didn’t have a great start on his debut for the club, during the first quarter joel copped a nasty gash to this lip which resulted it to a very nasty split. Joel returned a few weeks later and from there stringed a few best in ground efforts in the reserves before making his ...senior debut for the club. Unfortunately with the point system it kept Joel out from regularly senior games but in 2021 it to his advantage now. Joel’s consistency in games saw him come runner up in the reserves best and fairest. When speaking to Joel about the season ahead he mentioned the following * I’m really excited to get back out there, before coming across I didn’t really play much consistent footy. In 2019 I really enjoyed my footy again. The club is a great place to be at on and off the feild. The club is working hard and I whiling to do what I can to be apart of it. The goals are to win a premiership and get the best out of myself for the team. We wish Joel all the best in 2021, we definitely see a lot of potential in him as a long team player at the club.

Due to Bobby’s commitment, dedication and want Bobby did everything he could do to get back playing. He returned for the last block of home and away gam...es and he returned where he left off in 2018. Bobby was our best player in the 2019 final series. When speaking to Bobby about the season ahead he Mentioned the following * I have enjoyed my time at the club since coming across in 2018. I believe we are on the improvement within and looking forward to continuing the hard work from 2019 into 2021. We have brought in some good players over the last few years and we will get better the more we play with each other. Hope we can add a few more for next season and win the premiership and build more in a higher division We wish Bobby all the best, definitely a crowd favourite on and off the field

It was great to work under Andrew Bryson and looking forward to work further with him next season. Making the grand final is always a great achievement but losing one always sticks in your mind. Hopefully we can use that lose to go one better in 2021. There is a good mix within the side, we have good experience and good youth pushing for senior selection. We want to push as many as we can for senior selection for the clubs depth. Looking forward to seeing what we can achieve next season, not just from this side but as a whole club.
