Coaches

Daniel Ward - Senior Men's Coach

Daniel has coached our Men's Senior Eighteen since 2017, immediately leading the team to the C-Grade Premiership and then showing resilience post-Covid to lead the team to the B-Grade Premiership in 2022.  He demonstrates great values in and around the club and teaches our players much more than on-field football skills and strategies.  His work in developing a young team has paid off and they head to A-Grade with confidence.

Sean has been a coach for St Kilda's Next Generation Academy, female specific, since 2019 and has been an Assistant Coach with St Kilda's VFLW team over the past few years.

Tom Rogerson - Senior Men's Reserves Coach

Tom arrived at the club having been a Vice-Captain of the 2017 Undefeated School side.  Making an immediate impact by playing senior football in his first year at the club, the now 24 year old has been forced into early retirement due to his body breaking down.  Tom’s objective is to develop the squad and prepare his players for senior football, while ensuring that they’re all enjoying themselves while playing at the club.
