Coaching Appointments: Libba & Chops Onboard
Wednesday, 11 November 2020
|
The Club is pleased to announce the first of its coaching appointments for season 2021.
First up Tony Liberatore has been appointed as Men's Over 50s Coach. Libba, an accredited Level 2 AFL Coach, joined the club in 2018 and has always been on hand to provide advice to players and coaches alike. Now he will take the reigns of the Legends! Joining Libba as the Men's Over 50s Assistant Coach will be life member Frank Veri. Frank has had previous coaching stints at Coburg over his 14-year journey at the club and will now make excellent support to Tony. Katie Annetta, better known as "Chops" has been reappointed to the role of Women's Over 35s Coach after her debut season as coach was foiled due to COVID-19. Chops is looking forward to the challenge ahead. We would like to take this opportunity congratulate Tony, Frank and Katie on their appointments. Stay tuned as we make further announcements on coaching appointments over the coming weeks as the Football Department works through applications and interviews. |

How Is The 2020 Season Shaping Up?
Wednesday, 11 March 2020
We are just four weeks away from season start with round 1 pencilled for the 4th (Women’s Competition) and 5th (Men’s Competition) of April 2020.
Between now and then there are a few practice matches that will be scheduled and you should start seeing communications go out on various social media channels.
The Men will be playing in a practice match on Sunday, March 22 while the Women have two dates for practice matches, Saturday, March 14 and Saturday, March 28. Scroll down the newsletter for more information on these practice matches.
Last November, at the Vic Metro AGM, a new competition format was adopted for the Men’s competitions. This new structure was finally endorsed at an SGM in February.
For the Over 35 Men there will no longer a six team Premier league. Instead, the competition has been split into Over 35 North Division 1 and Over 35 South Division 1. This will remain Supers and Reserves but the divisions will be bolstered with more teams. Coburg are, as expected in the North Division 1. Departing the competition are Parkdale (South) and Plenty Valley (Division 2), while Northern Districts, Laurimar, Craigieburn and Diamond Valley come in from Division 2 form an 8 team competition.
The Over 45’s North competition format is retained. It is a 9-team competition with a bye. The Over 50’s competition will be a combined competition but where possible the league will try to align it to North/South.
The Women’s competition has expanded to 14 teams with a number of new teams will be entering the competition. Blackburn, Mooroolbark, South Melbourne Districts and Diamond Creek all confirmed as new entities. The fixture will be 10 rounds as per men's competitions and the continued format of hosting will also continue.
The Over 50's will try to adopt similiar format to the Over 45's and Over 35's where possible but again there are less teams featuring in that age group.
Easter, Mothers Day and Queens Birthday weekends are all clear and there is a 3-week break during school holidays, 28 June to 18 July.
The fixtures have been release and are up on our website with the exception of the over Over 50's competition fixtures which are yet to be finalised but shouldn't be far away.
