The grand old man of Goulburn Valley League football, Jason Morgan, believes there is enough bounce in his ageing legs to play on next season.

With his beloved Kyabram, of course, where he has racked up 22 seasons, nearly 300 senior games and four best-and-fairest awards. He has also been in four premiership sides.

No-one who attended this season’s GVL grand final would be surprised that the 39-year-old footy freak had chosen to play on.

He was one of Kyabram’s best players in this season’s premiership win.

Apart from Morgan, other high-profile players for the Bombers this season were this season’s best-and-fairest award Mick Mattingly, skipper Aiden Robinson, Brad Whitford and co-coach Kaine Herbert.

A former exciting Kyabram player in Ruben Rode is returning to the club next season.

Originally from Wallan, Rode played with the Bombers in 2023 and has played with VFL side Werribee and Essendon and District club Greensborough this year.

He is a speedy small man and co-coach Corey Carver believes he can enhance the Bombers’ style of play.
