Werribee (S) Simon Atkins (R) Nth Ballarat (S) Gavin Crosisca (R) John Polkinghorne Tassie (S) Matty Armstrong Coburg (S) Dave Flood (R) Carl Steinfort ? Box Hill (S) Andy Collins (R) Marty Heppel Bendigo (S) Matty Knights (R) Greg Cox Geelong (S) Andy Lovell Willy (S) Brad Gotch (R) Anthony Eames ? Frankston (S) Brett Lovett (R) John Georgiou Bullants (S) Barry Mitchell (R) ???? Springy (S) Peter Banfield (R) Brad Sinclair P.S. Sorry about the crappy format , I didn't do it like that but I dont have anything LIKE the skills to make it look pretty !!!!!

Just on this. I reckon its awesome that Marty will be around in 2005. The bloke is an absolute legend! (reckon I told him that about 13 times at the Clarendon). Seriously though, I think Marty is exactly what we need with the young reserves group that Box Hill is blooding. Treats the players as a mate, but he still has the communication skills to pass information on to all the players (somewhat unorthodoxly.) :) I'd attribute some of the development we saw from guys like Jeremy Everett to the way Marty instills confidence in the blokes. And he's awwwwwsome. :D

Update already....... Apparently Andy Lovell is now likely to take up the position left vacant by Darren Cresswell's move to Brisbane , that of senior midfield coach at Geelong. This leaves the VFL coaches spot vacant again as Ron Watt has definately taken on a development role with Geelong AFL. Possible contenders include Sean Simpson ( ex Geelong AFL) and Damien Christenson ( Geelong Falcons).

Updated update ???? According to footygoss , ex North and Geelong player Leigh Tudor has been appointed to coach the Geelong VFL side. Awaiting confirmation but they're usually pretty good over there.

Quote:Geelong has appointed Andy Lovell and Leigh Tudor as assistant coaches for 2005. Lovell, a former player with Melbourne and the West Coast Eagles, will have responsibility for preparing the Cats midfield while ex-Cat Tudor has been given the role of coaching the club's VFL side. The 34-year-old Lovell, who played 164 AFL games and was a member of the Demons' 1988 grand final side, has been coaching in the WAFL, where he was in charge of East Perth. He was previously a runner, assistant and player welfare manager with the Eagles. Tudor, 35, has been heavily involved in Victoria's under-18 competition and was an assistant at Calder Cannons during their premiership-winning seasons of 2001 and 2003. He was in charge of the Western Jets this year. A statement released by the Cats indicated the club was searching for a VFL coach that demonstrated a 'background in developing young players for the elite level'. As a player, Tudor ran out in 60 games for Geelong and was a part of the club's 1994 and 1995 grand final line-ups. He takes over the role from Ron Watt, who coached the club's VFL team for the past five seasons but has taken on an expanded role as manager of player development, focusing on those players in their first three years at AFL level.
