Dimboola have unveiled the signing of two well-credentialed new recruits ahead of the 2020 Wimmera Football League season. Kyle Emery and Michael Bowden have both committed to the club, attracted through a connection with second-year head coach Justin Beugelaar. Emery played in the South Australian National Football League last season with South Adelaide, while Michael Bowden has played consistently for Southern Districts in the Northern Territory Football League's premier division. "Kyle Emery is a key forward from South Australia and a former Northern Territory Thunder player," Beugelaar said. "Michael is a rangy wingman who will offer us a lot, and a few of the guys are good mates with. "They both bring a lot of experience to the club and they're both younger guys too. They are around that early-mid twenties age group, so they have senior experience they can teach to the younger guys. "That's something we identified as being really good for our younger playing group." Beugelaar said both should be available for the full season, depending on how each pulls up from summer football campaigns in the Northern Territory Football League. Beugelaar said the Roos were hoping to keep improving after a promising finish to last season. The Roos claimed three of their four wins in the final five weeks of the season. "It's really exciting times for Dimboola," Beugelaar said. "We're really pleased with these signings and there should be a few more."
