COACHES CORNER / LINTON JACOBS
What’s the biggest focus for your group in 2026?
We sort of want to try and finish in that top bracket again if we can and give ourselves every chance on the back end to play some finals and hopefully win a couple more finals.
What will supporters notice about this team?
They’ll see a slight change in the way we defend, look to be a little bit more assertive.
What’s your side’s greatest strength?
Having the group together for another season is really important, especially in this day and age of footy continuity between your group, cohesion, that sort of thing is super important.
What still needs the most work?
In a couple of those bigger games we got beat up around the footy and couldn't get our hands on it, so we've worked heavily on our contest in pre-season.
What does success look like for this group in 2026?
I think we're like everyone, we want to win a premiership. Colbinabbin hasn’t won a flag for almost 18 years, I think. We’re under no illusions, it's going to be a very, very competitive comp.
