Coaching position

Post by Presti35 »

Any news on the vacant VFL spot?

I was looking at Shane Woewodin who coached the Lions NEAFL team... to a wooden spoon in 2016. In 2017 they won the flag.... under a new coach. And theyve just won it again this year.

After a 5-31 recored, maybe Woey isnt the option we're after then.

I believe that Scott Selwood will be appointed in a development role and in a playing role if required.

Happy with this.

Players like him and as he's been around the club already, its a nice fit. I'd seen him talking to players at the VFL many times this season.

Has a good relationship with Bucks, so I'm happy.

Hocking as a coach: He retired as a player at the end of 2001.

Finished 8th and 9th with a record of 8-32.

Geelong Falcons (TAC Cup) 2006-2009.
Finished 2nd, 6th, 3rd and 1st with a record of 53-20.
Future AFL players coached include; 2006- Travis Boak, Will Schofield, Simon Hogan. 2007 - Lachlan Henderson, Patrick Dangerfield, Jack Steven, Jaxson Barham. 2008 - Ayce Cordy, Luke Rounds, Jordie McKenzie, Luke Delaney, Tom Simpkin. 2009 - Ben Cunnington, Gary Rohan, Jasper Pittard, Allen Christensen.

-Port Adelaide Caretaker Coach (AFL) 2012

Port Adelaide (SANFL) 2014-2015.

Port Adelaide Assistant (AFL) 2016.

South Adelaide (SANFL) 2017.

Not sure why he left after one season, was he sacked? Did the Brad Gotch connection get him to Collingwood?

Collingwood Assistant (AFL) 2018-2019.

Collingwood (VFL) 2020-

Interesting that he's coached in the WAFL, SANFL, TAC Cup, the AFL and now VFL.
