The Bendigo Bank Maryborough Castlemaine District Football & Netball League is pleased to announce the appointment of Luke Treacy as its Senior Interleague Football coach for the 2015 season.
Treacy is well known to many across the MCDFNL landscape, having coached the Carisbrook FNC in recent years, including the Redbacks’ 2012 premiership and 2014 Grand Final appearance, and is one of the most respected coaches and players in the league.
Treacy has had extensive interleague experience with the MCDFNL, having been an assistant coach to Wayne Driscoll in the league’s 2013 interleague campaign and again to Shane Fisher in 2014, as well as playing in several interleague campaigns for the MCDFNL throughout his time in the league.
Treacy is an advocate of representative football, and sees this year’s interleague campaign as crucial for several aspects of the MCDFNL.
“It’s a real chance to promote the positives of our league”, Treacy commented upon the official announcement of his appointment at the 2015 MCDFNL Season Launch.
“If we can win this year and move closer to the top 20 [leagues in Victoria], then it’s a positive endorsement for players wanting to play in the MCDFNL”.
MCDFNL Operations Manager Scott Carey is excited to be working with Treacy as interleague coach, and looks forward to Luke continuing the work that Shane Fisher did with the 2014 interleague team.
“We thank Shane Fisher for the excellent job he did coaching our interleague squad in 2014”, Carey mentioned.
“Shane did a great job in putting together last year’s interleague campaign, and we look forward to Luke continuing on with this work in the coming weeks as our squad takes shape”.
The MCDFNL’s interleague team will take on the Ellinbank FNL in this year’s Worksafe AFL Victoria Country Championships on Saturday 23rd May at Princes Park, Maryborough.
Squads will be formed over the first few rounds of MCDFNL action to allow coaches to assess player performance over the opening weeks, and will be displayed on the MCDFNL website when announced.
