Euroa Football Netball Club Executive Committee are delighted to announce that reigning netball premiership coach Ellie Warnock has been re-appointed as playing coach for season 2025and that Dave Gleeson has been appointed as non-playing senior XVIII football coach for season 2025.

The re-commitment from Ellie – with the remaining senior netball coaching structure to be determined in the coming weeks – is a wonderful piece of news for the club and players alike.

The club congratulates 2024 football coach Ryan Pendlebury onthe wonderful opportunity he has been rewarded with at North Melbourne FC. Subsequently, the club Executive and coaching selection panel have been very busy exploring a number of viablecoaching possibilities for season 2025.

These possibilities were a good mix of local options as well as non-local options. The selection panel have recommended the experienced local option of Dave Gleeson (who has coached the club previously) to work closely with Assistants Neale Poole and Chris Burke (both local ex-players/coaches who played in the 1990 senior premiership team) to take charge in season 2025.

President Scott Watson said, “our Executive Committee members were unanimous in their decision to appoint these roles to Ellie and Dave. We know they will lead our club in a positive way into and throughout 2025. Particular thanks go to the many individuals who have expressed their desire to coach the senior football side with Dave’s coaching experience at this level something the panel felt was invaluable at this point in time. Dave is supportive of the search for a football coach/es to lead the club in seasons 2026/27 to begin in the early part of season 2025.”
