We are pleased to announce our coaching panel for season 2011.
Normally we would have made this announcement well before Christmas but various factors have frustrated us and have required us to be very patient as we strove to put together the best possible coaching panel. We are now very confident that we will again have one of the best coaching panels in the Sydney AFL.
Appointments are:
- Club Coach: Rohan Graham.
- Assistant Coaches - Matthew Parker, Ryan Meldrum
- Div 1 Coach: Damien Whittle
- Div 3 Co-Coach: Sean Allit
- Under 18's Co-Coaches: Jeff Melrose and Alan Fitzgerald.
We are also continuing discussions with one other well credentialled prospect and will advise you once the outcome is known.
Our new div 3 coach, Sean Allit, comes to us with a background in the Victoria grammar school football system. After having an enforced break from playing due to major knee injury and having recently shifted to Sydney, he is keen to get back involved. We welcome Sean to our club.
Under Rohan's leadership we will be implementing an upgraded game plan and an exciting new game day structure for the 2011 season. This forms a key part of our goal to implement a more "state of the art" approach to our on field football management. This new model will be applied as a template across all grades and having quality coaches who can competently execute is critical to its success.
In terms of our U18's panel, we believe that having the deep experience of Team of the Century member Alan Fitzgerald and former U18's premiership coach Jeff Melrose will be invaluable.
Congratulations to all appointees and we look forward to continuing the on field success of our great club.
Steve Watters
President
