Macpherson and Sheldon were both re-appointed with the backing of the league executive, selection panel and assistant coaches, will aim to assemble a strong side with a blending of youth to contest the Regional Championships. The Championships will encompass the other leagues in the state to mark celebrations for the 150th year of AFL.
The duo will be ably assisted by experienced assistant coaches, Brad Greenshields and Jamie Coad (North Coffs). Both were appointed to assist in the organisation and tactical preparation that will hopefully see the North Coast side be successful in their pool that will contain 3 opposing leagues. The quartet have previous experience in representative squads as players and coaches and will bring a vast amount of footballing knowledge that will demand respect from the players.
Training dates have been announced and a number of talented players from each club will be chosen shortly to assemble for these sessions aimed towards preparing the side and culling the squad to 24 players; a directive from the AFL (NSW/ACT) that is applicable to all regional leagues.
Training will be held on April 20, May 11 and May 25 at venues that are yet to be announced.
