So, yeah, a bit of movement there amongst the Dockers' coaching ranks.
Mick AblettGUEST
Yeah, fantastic for Sam Mainwaring.
Mick AblettGUEST
Sorry, when you see where his journey's been through the Colts system, I know he was a bench coach with the AFL Futures game on Saturday, grand final day at the MCG not the MCG they were supposed to play there but weather stopped them but yeah with the futures going so great result for him and Tendai Mzungu is someone I've had a lot of respect and a lot of time for throughout my time in WA football and he's again he's another one that players relate to they respect and they soak up every word of what he says so I think it's great to see him elevated to a line coach and They retain the experience of Jeff Valentine back at the Peel Thunder, and their depth has been what's held them in really good stead for such a long time, and Jeff's a great person to continue that tradition.
