2024 position: Third (12 wins).
Coaching panel: Brodie Anderson (senior coach), with the reserves role to be confirmed.

Game style: Fast pace and high pressure.
Players to watch: The Tigers are expecting big things from cocaptains Harry Kellow and Jock Overend while Jack Betts has been a standout in the pre-season.
Wildcard: New addition Murphy will be a player to watch, with his in and under style in the midfield sure to please teammates and spectators.
Expectations: “We are hoping to go a little bit further than last year, we were a couple of goals in front in the preliminary final so we weren’t that far away,” first year senior coach Brodie Anderson said.
