Mitchell Park Football Club is excited to announce Shane Lynch as senior coach for season 2015. Shane comes to the club with a wealth of knowledge and experience which is sure to help the club strive for success in 2015.
The club would also like to announce Shanes right hand man for 2015 will be playing assistant coach Tom Roberts. Tom has recently returned from country victoria where he played high level country footy. Tom has a great footy background and we are lucky to have him on board.
It would be a good idea to say a massive thankyou to outgoing coach, Scott Weekley. A club legend, good mate and a favourite amongst the playing group, Scott held the club together in perhaps our most difficult year in living memory. I for one will have Scott’s coaching in 2014 high in my thoughts as amongst the more dignified and important efforts in my short time at the Mitchell Park Football Club.

Tom Roberts is an excellent appointment - quality lad.
Lynch appointed on the strength of his record at Aldinga?
I wasn't involved in the selection process LGIL, I am sure Yank Man will be able to reveal more.
But I would reckon an ability to bring players with him and potentially recruit beyond our normal veins would have been high on the list as to reasons why he got the nod.

The clubs decision to appoint Shane is based on his ability to take the club forward in years to come. He has worked side by side with Tom Roberts previously and they are well connected in the footy world. The reality is that for our club to prosper in the years to come we need people who know people and can bring players to the club with a long term passion., we have a wonderful junior programme at our club and both Shane and Tom have boys who will also play at the the club in 2015. I would also like to add to morell's comments regarding Scott Weekley. He held this club together in a difficult time and hopefully will retain a role that further enhances our clubs long term future.
Just to add further regarding our junior programme at the den, another of our juniors Alex Neale Bullen was drafted to the AFL tonite adding to Sam Colquoin who is currently at the Power. We've been working hard for a long time on the youngsters and it's clearly now bearing fruit. They may not be playing seniors here but what great recognition for those that do the hard yards at our club.

He may have played for MP for a quarter or so when MP vs Plympton and Plympton had to lend some players to even up the numbers

He won best and fairests at Mitchell Park as a junior. He played for years at Plympton. He played for the Bays. State rep. Probably played for his schools too! Who gets the kudos?
Stop being a punitive dick, we're proud of our junior system and like it or lump it thats where he started.

The player actually nominates their junior club to benefit from the draft program.
From memory, I think there was a bit argy bargy when Joel Patfull was drafted because he nominated Norwood as his junior team and not PNU.
Thems the breaks.
Thankfully the system has changed the last few years and now players nominate their state league club and junior club and each gets a cut of the spoils.
So it would seem that Plympton will score a few dollars out of this.
