Dear Members, Supporters & Players
As the newly appointed senior coach, I would like to take this opportunity to direct my appreciation to all members, supporters & players for your overwhelming show of support in me personally. As most of you are aware, I am replacing Paul Howroyd as coach, and I’d like to acknowledge the effort that he has put it over the past five years, in what has been a tremendously successful period for the club. Best Wishes to Roy as he embarks on a new challenge with the Chelsea Football Club as senior coach.
When I accepted the job as Senior Coach of the St Pauls Football Club I acknowledged it was a huge honor. I knew from my time as a player what a great culture and tradition our Club has and of the great players that have gone before us. I also knew St Pauls had great supporters, but I might have underestimated just how great. Being new to the role I never expected the level of support I received from the wider St Pauls family. The support you have shown me, and of course the players has given me great confidence and hunger, particularly heading into the coming season. It is indeed this support that drives us to be a better team and a stronger Football Club!
We are fortunate to have a group of young men who are keen and eager on taking this club to a higher level of proficiency, playing in finals and ultimately competing for premierships. The commitment the players have shown to front up again next year has been first class and I am confident you will see a super competitive, proud and hungry side every time they pull on the Doggies jumper.
I would like to acknowledge Darren Rogers who will be our Reserves coach for the third year running. Darren has had great success from the past two seasons with winning the reserves premierships in 2012 & 2013. Ben Vauge will be our assistant coach, he’s high level of passion and commitment to succeed will once again be a great asset to the club. Wayne Herbstreit together with Darren ‘The Shadow’ Blenkinsop are continuing their roles as coach of our under 19s, both are held in high regard for their ongoing contribution to the club.
On behalf of the coaches and the players, thank you sincerely for your continued support of our Football Club, thank you for being the best supporters in the SFL and for the backing that extends way beyond the football field.
Pre-Season training will commence at McKinnion Reserve on the 2nd of December starting at 6pm- see training dates listed below.
Bring on the footy!
Yours sincerely
Mark Dessent
