Geelong Gumbies vice-captain Peterss has today faced the media at his first official press-conference of the off-season.
Peterss has said that the Gumbies squad for the new season is slowly and surely starting to take shape.
"Its taken us a while indeed but we now have 16 players signed up for the season ahead and one positive is that alot of last season's squad members have re-committed for another season which shows that their is a belief aroun d the club that we can put last season behind us and get back into the finals for the coming season"
"We are continuing to contact some of last season's squad members who we would like to stick around this season and we are hoping to hear back from them soon"
"We also have three new players so far who werent with us last season which is also a good sign....Always good having fresh faces around the club"
When asked what he thought the three current new additions would add to the side Peterss had this to say.
"I personally think they will be good value for money....And with Marklar_33 joining us we have a quality poster who is respected around the big footy community by many and we expect him to be a big part of our revival this season....As for ShaunDuggan and CarnTheTiges well they are both still only very young in terms of the game itself and being part of the big footy community but we've signed them up as we believe they have alot of potential and hopefully we will see some of that this season"
In other news there are rumours circulating around that an announcment on the Gumbies leadership group for the coming season is to be announced soon and alot of people believe that this will see Peterss become co-captain with current captain of the side in Ninty.
