Matera Swans Consultant

[Norman Ross]

Midfield/skills that is.

Trying to get him to put the pen to paper but he has agreed to run skills workshops and have a mentoring role for Colts players, especially those taking the next step to league.

Which one?

 

[Norman Ross]

Peter, apologies.

 

[Kram]

I hope this is not true, the bloke is a tool.

That seems like a good get. Dawson would know Matera well from his Eagles days so you would think if he wasn't going to bring any positives to the club he wouldn't have approached him.

matera as skills coach would be great for swans

Which one?

Phil

He was at East Perth for a while. I wouldn't invite him to Calingari U15's but good luck with him. First time a decision goes against him he will leave anyway.

I'm impressed that you know where Calingiri is Sico!

On the Matera note, it looks as though he is the full time programme coordinator for the "kicking ahead" programme.

Taken from the Swans website "It will provide opportunities for youngsters from the area to move to Perth by helping with transitional support through pathways into training, employment, higher education and elite-level sport."

Chance Bateman and Daniel Wells have agreed to be mentors in the programme, along with Brad Hogg, Narelda Jacobs and Tracey Pemberton.

I do! Had to play footy there. Bloody oval is covered in rocks so when you go down you get sliced up. Also copped one of the biggest shirtfronts of my life from Westy when they came to Gin Gin.

Ha Ha, those wheatbelt boys are tough. Played an Association game against guys from Koorda, Bencubbin etc and they just pounded us and ran all day.
