    Dockers appoint Curley assistant coach

    Dockers appoint Curley assistant coach

    Fremantle have appointed former Western Bulldogs utility Todd Curley as the AFL club's new midfield coach.

    Curley, who has been coach of WAFL side West Perth for the past three seasons, played three games for Collingwood in 1994 before racking up 115 with the Bulldogs from 1996-2001.

    The 35-year-old has been drafted in to replace Peter German, who left the Dockers this year.

    "You always strive to be the best you can in whatever you do, so the opportunity to go to the next level is fantastic," Curley said.

    "Im super keen to help the playing group improve and, hopefully, strive for the ultimate success, which is why everyone plays the game."

    Fremantle have also recruited former Port Adelaide strength and conditioning coach Chris Spinks to the club.

    "It is a great coup for the Fremantle Football Club," chief executive Steve Rosich said.

    "We will have two first class operators in their field who bring to the table a wealth of experience in managing international programs for national athletes." Meanwhile, current Socceroos fitness coach and head of sports science Darren Burgess has been retained as Fremantle's sports science consultant.

    Rosich said the club was edging closer to appointing an additional assistant coach to replace Chris Bond, who is now the club's general manager of football operations.

    Me too, thought his career was finished as a result of the suspension he received for colliding with an umpire. Wasn't you was it A39?

    Ditto. Dour underrated defender who did his job consistently.

    Not sure about using the term "drafted"in the article, would've thought he was "appointed" midfield coach.

    I always liked Curly. He never really recovered from that massive suspension for running in to the umpire. What really went on is a debate for another day but good on him for getting the Freo job and good luck to him.

    Edit: *Just read your post then TCD. Smart minds think alike.

    Great news for Curley

    He has done an apprenticeship and seems from a distance to have a good temperament for coaching

    Can't believe that he's only 35! Seems like ages ago that he left. Really pleased for him.

    No it was not me, it was Kerin Nicholls.

    The second worst tribunal decision ever.

    We all know what the worst one is.
    For those who were always the underdogs and wore it as a badge of honour.

    What was it again? 7 weeks? Either way it was disgraceful and pretty much finished his career!

    He copped 4 weeks, which was reduced to 2 upon appeal.
