Speaking from experience on both Wayne & Katie
These are solid appointments.
In my time at the Pies (stop laughing u lot) Wayne has been 100% into identifying talent & developing players.
The young group he deliberately targeted/drafted last season after his team had talented player reamed from his grasp is very very solid.
They will be the foundation that will see the pies become a force in years to come.
Although his coaching record at AFLW level isn't flash he has been around womens football a while now and has had strong & successful results with youth girl teams along the way. He can spot a talent a mile off.
He'll be just the person the baggers need to top up the youth talent and add to the talented current list.
As for Katie, having watched her close up at the Creekers and knowing her personally, she is an intelligent woman with a passion for football (read NAVY).
Understands the game, a good mentor for the young ones, communicates well at all levels (as a teacher she has too), doesn't stand for bullshit, very professional in her preparation and respects the game.
A prefect role model for young players.
She'll grow into the role, especially with Wayne as a mentor.
Pretty confident they'll both do OK.
