Adam Potter Appointed Coburg Coach for 2011 & 2012
Following an internal review of the Richmond coaching structure, David Newett will be moving into a full time development / assistant coach with Richmond for the 2011 season. An impact of this restructure is that David Newett will not be coaching the Coburg Football Club in 2011. On behalf of Coburg I would like to wish David all the best in his new role and look forward to having him involved with the club over the course of next season
The Coburg Football Club has undertaken a targeted recruiting process which has resulted in Adam Potter
Adam has impressed the club with his enthusiasm throughout the interview process and is greatly looking forward to his return to the Burgers. Adam has a proven ability to meet specific criteria for coaching a senior VFL team including being appointed as the senior coach for 2011 and 2012 seasons. Potter has developed a strong coaching CV over recent seasons including assistant coaching roles at Coburg Football Club under Andy Collins ( leading the reserves to the 2007 premiership), Jade Rawlings & Craig McCrae. In 2010 Adam took on the reserves & development coaching role at the Williamstown Football Club which included a Grand Final appearance for the reserves and a leading involvement in the player development program.
· Strong understanding of the VFL program and the nature of alignments
· Proven ability to develop young footballers
· Understanding of the culture of the Coburg Football Club
· A strong desire to succeed and proven history of success.
Adam will be conducting a meeting with the listed players next week. Any queries regarding Adam’s appointment please feel free to contact General Manager Lee Fraser on 0402 414 476.
