Avoca has announced their new U17.5 football coaching duo – Bulldogs legend Mark Blair and former AFL player Darren “DC” Cuthbertson! 💪

Coaching Announcement 📢

The AFNC is excited to announce our new U17.5 Football Coaching Duo - Mark Blair and Darren 'DC' Cuthbertson.

Mark is no stranger to the coaching scene at the Bulldogs, and DC also had a stint as an assistant coach a few of seasons ago, and we're thrilled to see him back!

DC played 32 AFL games and kicked 43 goals for the Melbourne Football Club during the early '90s, after playing his junior years with the Epping Football Club and later with the North Ballarat Football & Netball Club. His playing and coaching knowledge and experience will be invaluable to our up-and-coming Bulldogs.

Mark is a four-time premiership player with the AFNC and coached our littlest Bulldogs for many years, taking a number of teams through to have Grand Final appearances. He is a favourite among our youngsters, having coached many of them as Under 11.5s.

The Coaches are looking forward to getting our U17.5's together for some pre-season training before Christmas. Stay tuned for more details!
