2004 premiership winner Brent Sherwin discusses his role at the club that will see him work with the halves over the course of the summer and the 2020 season.

Nice to hear exactly what he is doing with them. Especially the part about him asking them to kick while fatigued, just like he used to do in practice. Awesome advice.
Let's hope they put in the hard yards over the next few months and really improve this area of their games next year!!!

I'd like to think that most our training is done under fatigue, pretty common to do so these days. Hopefully he's as good a coach as he was player and has his influence isn't just limited to running a few drills.

It would be great if Sherwin can give one of our halves the ability to put the ball on a string like he could. I can't recall another Bulldogs half that had his ability to set up scoring opportunities with such a variety of pin point kicking options.

One positive about foran being out for 2020 is cogger Lewis wakeham can make some good combinations through the season not having to worry about foran coming straight in.... Will be a big boost in confidence.
Make or break year for the young pups... A lot are off contract after 2021. Could be a genius move by the club and or coach.

didn't we hear all about this last year?
I don’t think so. I know about halfway through this season there was an article about Sherwin being brought on, so this is his first offseason as halves coach.

Hopefully it works out well.

This should have happened after Brett Kimmorley retired!! At least now we can get our halves to be better in the opposition 20 not just shifting side to side in hope

I am so over Foran and all the over-priced under-performing imports. Just start developing our own talent and put some interest back into watching the juniors and reserve grades.

Yes, you would hope so, but until now we didn't know. So that's a positive.

Really good to see Shifty back assisting the first graders. Played with and against him back in junior footy and you wouldn’t come across a more committed bloke to a team environment with a brilliant footy mind. Super nice guy who was always gifted.

OMeley, Mason or Asotasi coaching the forwards
Sherwin coaching the halves

I'd be a happy man to see that

Great to have him back at Belmore. Skilful player in his time. Hope some of it rubs off.
