New A-grade coach Casey Adamson headlines the changes to the squad, returning to the Lions after an injury-affected 2024, while Lucy Zotti will move up to the A-grade side full-time, with the rest of the squad remaining relatively unchanged from last year.
Adamson, who played with Collingwood in the Super Netball League and has also signed on for a seventh Victorian Netball League season with the Boroondara Express, said she was looking forward to building on what was a solid 2024 season.
“We’ve got a great squad once again this season and we’re all eager for round one to come around,” Adamson said via a club statement.
“Last year was a bit disappointing, going out in an elimination final and I know the girls are eager to push deeper into finals this year.
“I’m excited to step up into the head coach role and think I’ve got plenty to give to our entire netball department, from A-grade down to under-15s.
“Ellie Fuhrmeister has done a fantastic job over the past few seasons and it’s all about building on her work and seeing how far we can go this year.”
Fuhrmeister stepped down as coach at the conclusion of last season, following a successful stint in charge that included a clean sweep of the senior premierships in 2022, as well as finals appearances in each of her three years as head coach.
Fuhrmeister will remain a part of the squad as a player, however with the talented goaler to remain a pivotal part of the Lion’s A-grade set-up.
Seymour recorded a 10-8 record throughout the A-grade home-and-away season last year to finish sixth on the ladder, bowing out to eventual runner-up Echuca in an elimination final.
