QFA (Woodsmen) - Coaching Appointment
Andrew Thomson
Gareth Crawford has been appointed as the playing coach of the Woodsmen QFA Team.
'Crawf' is a veteran of over 350 Senior games throughout country Victoria and the QAFL with the Magpies. He played 169 games with Hamilton in the Western District as well as over 50 games with both Sherwood in the QAFL and Eaglehawk in the Bendigo Football League, as well as shorter stints with Palmerston in the NTFL and other Victorian clubs.
He is a Senior Best & Fairest winner at Sherwood in 2017 as well as a league medal winner in the Western Border League in Victoria, 5 times inter-league representative and Senior Best & Fairest winnner at both Eaglehawk and Hamilton.
He brings a wealth of experience to the table with over 20 years playing Senior Football and having previously held assistant coaching roles.
Having played with 9 clubs across his career, the consistent theme for 'Crawf' is to just play footy with his mates, and there is no more perfect place to do that than with the Woodies in the twilight of a wonderful career where he will guide the team on and off the field in his capacity as playing coach.
The Woodies hit the track for the first time on Wed 3 Feb at 630pm - come down and join them!
