We are pleased to announce that Marc Woolnough has been appointed senior coach.
Marc was drafted by Geelong from Southport in 1998. He had a horror run with knee injuries, but Geelong thought so much of him it retained him on the list for four more years before he again played senior football in 2002. Unfortunately the injuries forced an early retirement. This year he has co-coached St Mary's in the Geelong FL to a premiership.
David Parkin assisted with the appointment of Marc and will continue as Co-ordinator of Coaching at the Blacks.
Players are asked to come to meet Marc at the Clyde Hotel next Tuesday, September 30, at 6.30pm. In addition we will welcome back Luke O'Connell as Under 19 coach and outline the pre Christmas training, social and recruiting programs.
