It’s our pleasure to announce that Dual Premiership Coach and Star Todd Miles is returning to the Kennel in a playing role for season 2025. We’re excited to have you return and help lead our pack with your passion, professionalism and hunger to win at all costs.
This past year Todd fulfilled a League Assistant Coaching position in the SANFL with the Victorious Glenelg FC whilst managing playing 9 games with Hamley Bridge.
The opportunity for some of our upcoming pups to work with Todd, learning fundamentals from someone of his calibre and standing in SA football is priceless.

π΄βͺοΈπ΅ BDFNC welcomes back 20 year old young gun Xander Bates back to the Kennell for season 2025.
Xander is a home grown talent, who graduated through our junior system, playing in the Senior Colts 2021 Premiership.
He debuted in our A grade side in 2022, showing a lot of promise and playing in that season’s finals series.
Since then, he has spent the past couple seasons at Angle Vale, blossoming into a senior footballer and earning APFL representative duties in both the 2023/24 Nutrien Ag Cups.
Young Jandel has earned a reputation for taking hangers and dobbing them from outside 50 and we look forward to watching this excitement machine on the park in season 2025. We are wrapped to see him back home. ... See MoreSee Less
