Coyle will address players and supporters on the theme “what it takes to win”, while former players Nigel Meek, Andrew House, Paul Kelly, Terry Jordan and Winnie Mahar will present the playing group with this season’s jumpers.
Alex Russell has taken over the senior coaching reins from Dayle O’Neill with Patrick Lawrence switching from South Launceston to become his assistant.
Tom Hilder has retained the captaincy and reserves coach Scott Bennett is hoping to guide his charges to a fourth-consecutive flag.
President Ian McCallum said people around the club were optimistic about the season ahead.
“We’ve managed to pick up a few recruits to add to the talented playing group we had last season,” McCallum said.
He said the launch at the clubrooms would start at 7pm and invited all to attend.
