Dean is currently a Board member at the St. Kilda Football Club with a wide range of responsibilities, including being the Football Director, which incorporates the AFLW space. Dean was already well known at the Old Scotch Football Club and in the VAFA, having coached our Men’s’ 1^st XVIII for three years, chalking up appearances in three finals series.

Speaking to Dean today he said how much he was looking forward to coaching the club in the Women’s Premier ‘A’ section in 2023. “I am delighted to be reappointed to head up the coaching of the Stars in what is an exciting women’s football program. My experience in 2022 was highly rewarding and I am looking forward to being involved again next year. The women’s coaching role is exciting for me. I have a passion for coaching, a deep connection to Old Scotch, strong insights and interest in the development of women’s football.”

We wish Dean Anderson, his coaching staff and the Old Scotch Stars all the best for 2023.
