Curley focuses on having Bulldogs buy into shared vision

Thursday, January 29, 2015 - 11:26 PM - by Chris Pike

TODD Curley's focus since taking over as South Fremantle coach ahead of the 2015 WAFL season has been on bringing together a talented playing group ensuring they all have a shared vision that they believe in to lead to a hopeful return to finals action for the first time since 2011.

Curley arrives at Fremantle Oval as senior coach of South Fremantle with the playing group coming off a run the last three years where at times they have shown what they are capable of, but the consistency hasn’t been there for them to at least make a finals appearance.

However, again the Bulldogs finished off the 2014 season in strong fashion to build hope that things were heading towards a positive outcome in 2015 and now Curley takes over as coach to try and steer the playing group in that direction.

Curley happy with Bulldogs' on and off field

Thursday, January 29, 2015 - 11:05 PM - by Chris Pike

NEW South Fremantle coach Todd Curley is settling in well ahead of his first season in charge of the Bulldogs and is happy with what the club has put together both on and off the field in preparation for 2015.

Prior to accepting the role as senior coach at South Fremantle for at least the next two seasons, Curley had never previously been involved in any other WAFL club than West Perth where he was a dual premiership player, captain and had his first taste of being a coach.

After coaching West Perth between 2006-08 following his decorated playing career not only with West Perth in the WAFL but also Collingwood and most notably the Western Bulldogs in the AFL, Curley was an assistant coach at Fremantle between 2009 and the start of 2012 before taking his first break from the game in over 20 years.
