Crocs rip into CTB Bulldogs
THE Port Douglas Crocs have officially begun their 2025 campaign with a trial match against the Centrals Trinity Beach Bulldogs as they continue to make their final preparations for season 2025.
The Crocs started their preseason training program in late January as they try to regain the premiership glory that they’re so familiar with, and on Saturday, March 29, they were finally able to get back out on the field and put their preseason training to the test.
The Crocs have been hard at work braving the extreme Far Northern heat and torrential rain all while preparing for season 2025.
The Crocs’ 2024 season finished in heartbreak last year losing in the elimination final to the Cairns City Lions.
To make things even harder, all of their rival clubs have used their offseason to recruit new star players, most notably the South Cairns Cutters landing AFL star Brandon Ellis.
The Crocs are no exception landing new players from all around the country from a variety of different leagues.
With this being the first time that this new squad had played together the Crocs coaching staff were eager to see how they all worked together.
The Crocs came out firing, not letting the blistering heat phase them, coming away victorious with a convincing 98-67 win sending warning shots out to the rest of the league.
An anonymous Crocs coach quoted “there was plenty of great signs and takeaways, like always well work on certain aspects but were feeling great.”
The Crocs showed some great signs kicking an extremely accurate 15.8 and keeping the game under their control.
The Crocs now have two weeks to finetune anything before their season opener against the Cairns City Lions where they look to erase last year’s disappointing end, and begin their journey to premiership glory once again.
