The Werribee Football Club is pleased to announce that former Western Bulldogs champion Scott West is the new senior coach of the Tigers.
West has been in an assistant role with the Melbourne Football Club for the last three seasons after a great career with the Bulldogs which included 324 games, 7 Best and Fairest Awards, 5 times All Australian and selection in the Western Bulldogs Team of the Century.
Werribee Tigers President John Nicol was full of praise for the former Bulldog.
“Scott is someone I have admired for his ability on the field, his work rate and commitment and his preparation.
“He certainly demonstrated all those qualities in his presentation to the club.
“I am excited by his football philosophies and look forward to seeing where he can take our football club in the future.”
West is equally excited.
“The chance to coach my own team after a few years as an assistant at AFL level is fantastic.
“2012 is a new year, and with it comes new challenges and opportunities,” West said.
“I am looking forward to what lies ahead for the Werribee Football Club and am proud to be a part of it”.
West takes over from 2011 coach Paul Satterley who has taken up a development forward line coach role at Melbourne.
