Reflecting on the 2024 season, Aspland believes the Giants have enjoyed a strong year thanks to hosting a successful masters carnival at Kialla Recreation Reserve in late June.
According to Aspland, another reason the Giants have found success this season is the influx of players they have received during the year.
“A lot of positives with the new players,” he said.
“Last year, we had games where we struggled for numbers; (Saturday’s game) we had close to 30 people available to play, nearly double what we had before.
“In that respect, it has been really good for the club going forward.
“There is a variety of talent; some that have come are ex-GVL superstars, and others are new players to football altogether; that footy-for-fun aspect is still being brought in for masters.”
The masters season may be drawing to a close, but Aspland said the Giants would look to make the most of their final three games.
“The round 10 fixture was left open for clubs to decide if they want to play, and we (do, so we) will travel to Albury-Wodonga and play the Murray Crays in that last game,” he said.
“We are playing Benalla in a fortnight and then we will play in Yarrawonga against the Pigeons.
“Training is normal, back on a Wednesday night at Kialla Oval.
“Training kicks off at six o’clock sharp for anyone new that wants to play football.”
