Senior coach appointment
Donvale Football Club Is thrilled to announce that our new Senior Coach for 2019 is Dennet Merton.
Dennet has great experience in football. In 2018, he was Assistant Coach with our neighbours and 2018 Division Two Premiers Doncaster East. He was Assistant Coach at Doncaster from 2012 - 2017, part of the team that took Doncaster from Division 3 to Division 1. He has also spent time in the early 2000's at Blackburn, Nunawading and Marcellin (where he was under 19s coach). Dennet played his football at Marcellin OC in the VAFA, captaining the club in 1995-1996.
That however is only part of the story. Dennet is already a significant member of our football club, as are his family. He has recently been appointed coach of our 2019 Under 16 girls team so he will be a "dual coach". His daughters Abby, Ella and Indi all play footy for Donvale girls teams.
As well as obvious football credentials, Dennet displayed a strong passion for the entire Donvale Football Club. Seniors and Juniors, Men, Women, Boys and Girls. He is fully on board with helping Donvale continue to grow and prosper.
Dennet will be supported as senior coach by an experienced team of assistants and coaching support staff and a determined senior playing group.
Our club undertook an exhaustive selection process. We received a large number of very high quality applicants and would like to thank all those who put themselves forward.
We welcome Dennet, his wife Kim and their girls fully into Donvale and wish them every and continued success.
