DELISTED by Melbourne last month, Tasmanian Heath Neville has signed to the Devils in the VFL next year, in the hope of rekindling his AFL career

Devils coach Daryn Cresswell signed Neville yesterday as one of four recruits in Melbourne this week.

AFL Tasmania will announced the quartet in Hobart today, with the promise of more recruits to follow.

Neville, who played for Clarence and the Mariners, was taken by the Demons at No. 68 in the 2005 draft.

His shot at the AFL was ruined by a frustrating fight with osteopubis, restricting him to only a handful of games with Melbourne's VFL affiliate Sandringham over the past two seasons.

But Neville has now put his groin issues to bed.

Triple premiership coach departs Zebras

THE man behind Sandringham's triple premiership golden era, coach Mark Williams, is moving on.

Last Friday Williams took a full-time job as development coach at Melbourne Football Club. It's an exciting opportunity for the 43-year-old, who has ambitions to be an AFL senior coach.

"My ambitions are to hopefully become a senior coach if I can, so this was a step forward in that regard," he said.  "I went for the senior job last year at Melbourne and they basically said to me if I want to move forward I've got to do some assistant coaching and go from there."

Williams' association with Sandringham was filled with success and he will always be known as a club legend.  A former Carlton and Footscray utility, Williams played in the Zebras' 1992 flag. A decade later, in October, 2003, he was appointed coach of the club, and he made a breathtaking entrance, guiding the Zebras to the 2004 premiership, followed by the '05 and '06 flags.

This year, Sandringham finished on top of the ladder but bowed out of the finals in the semis.
