Coburg's Leadership Group for 2014 was revealed on Saturday night, with Nick Carnell to return as captain for the fifth successive season!
The Full Leadership Group Is:
Nick Carnell (Captain) - Entering his 8th season at the Club, Nick bleeds navy blue and red, and has been one of Coburg's great leaders of the past few decades. Always putting his body on the line for the club, we're hoping Nick will bring up 150 VFL games later this season.
Ben Clifton (Vice-Captain) - Now in his 7th year at Coburg, Cliffo has continued to bring a strong presence to the leadership group. With over 70 games of senior VFL experience, Cliffo is definitely a model for the younger boys to follow.
Daniel Venditti (Vice-Captain) - The 2013 Jim Sullivan Best and Fairest Winner, Ditti is now one of Coburg and the VFL's premier midfielders. Has been strong throughout the pre-season and is ready for another big year.
Nathan Thomas - Entering his fourth year at the club, Thommo is a clearance machine who has been able to overcome several years of injuries to put together a strong pre-season. Another who will benefit from more time in the midfield, and a leadership role will futher strengthen his credentials.
Daniel Younan - One of our Co-Hosts of Coburg TV, Danny won Best Clubman at Coburg last year after tearing his ACL in the first five minutes of our first practice game. Never missing a session, and becoming incredibly supportive for all his teammates, Danny's enthusiasm has been rewarded with a spot as one of Coburg's leaders for this season.
Andrew Sturgess - One of the new recruits, 24 year-old Sturg has already impressed with his attitude in both on the field and off the field. A Youth-Prison worker by day, Sturg has already been able to empower many boys around the club and establish the hard-working ethic that Senior Coach Peter German values so much.
Lech Featherstone - 24 year-old Lech joins us from Pascoe Vale, where he's won the past two Best and Fairests. A strong trainer and big presence, Lech's hard work has not gone unnoticed, as has his ability to get the best out of others around the club.
We're excited to have these seven as our leaders of the club in 2014, and are looking forward to what the entire playing group can achieve this season!
