It is with great excitement that the EKFC announces the appointment of Tom Hunter as it’s under 18’s coach for the season of 2012. Tom who is the current runner for the Collingwood football club comes back to East Keilor with an abundance of knowledge and skill of the modern game.
Not only will Tom coach our under 18’s team for 2012 but he will also set training sessions for our under 16 side and have extensive involvement with them to prepare them for the transition into under 18/senior football.
Tom Played for the Cougars at junior level and was drafted by the Calder Cannons in 2008. Having played recently in the main avenue to the AFL (TAC CUP) Tom knows what it takes to be successful and will share this knowledge with all players.
Tom played in a winning grand final side with the Calder Cannons in 2009 and was drafted by the Collingwood Football Club later that year. Tom has been under the tuition of Michael Malthouse, Nathan Buckley and other greats from AFL level. It doesn’t come much better than that.
Alongside Tom we are also extremely exited to have Ashley Arrowsmith assist with preseason preparation and training for the under 16’s. As per Toms career Ashley also played for the Cougars at junior level before being drafted by the Calder Cannons.
Ashley played in the winning grand final in 2007 with the Calder Cannons and was awarded best on ground in that game. Ashley was then drafted by West Coast in 2007 and played under the coaching of John Worsfold. Ashley currently plays for the Northern Bullants in the VFL and like Tom brings with him a huge amount of knowledge and skill of the modern game.
Preseason training for the under 18’s and under 16’s starts Thursday Nov 3rd at 6pm at the football club. Past, current and new players all invited. For further information contact TOM on 0431434421 or GAVAN WIGNALL on 0418306000.
