The Eastern Ranges would like to congratulate Shane Watson who has been ap- pointed as backline coach at North . Shane Watson has just stepped down as Eastern Ranges TAC U18’s Coach after 3 fantastic seasons at the helm. Watson has great experience in developing young players to enable them to play football at the top level and this ability is going to make him a valuable member of North Melbourne’s coaching panel. Watson is the ideal man to take charge of the backline having played approximately half of his 141 game career with Collingwood as a defender. Eastern Ranges are ex- tremely confident that Watson will have a successful time at North Melbourne and we wish him the best of luck in all of his future football coaching endeavours.
