Dundon to coach Seymour Reserves again in 2024

Nick Dundon will be looking to go one better this season as he takes the reins of the Seymour Football Netball Club (SFNC) Reserves side for the second time.


The Lions went through the Home and Away season undefeated before coming up short against Shepparton United at Deakin Reserve on Grand Final Day.


The SFNC Reserves side has featured at the pointy end of the season regularly in recent times, including a premiership in 2019.


Seymour Lions President Gerard O’Sullivan said Dundon took to the role incredibly well in 2023.


“Nick did a fantastic job last season with a young group of players, albeit one with plenty of senior footy experience,” Mr O’Sullivan said.


“To have someone like Nick, who has high-level laying experience and is still relatively young, is a big boost for our boys.


“Nick will be pulling on the boots this season following a knee reconstruction so we’re looking forward to seeing him put in plenty of work on and off the field.


“He played a massive role in the success of our overall football program last season and we’re confident that last year’s coaching experience will hold him in good stead this season.”


Nick Dundon said the entire playing list was looking to improve on last year’s results.


“Everyone around the club is hungry to have a big season after a bit of a disappointing end in September,” Mr Dundon said.


“We’ve got a really close group of players who are only going to get better the more they play together.


“Across the entire playing list, there’s a high percentage of boys with senior playing experience which really helps build depth into our Reserves.


“I’m looking forward to pulling the boots on again while supporting the development of our younger players.”

The Seymour Football Netball Club (SFNC) will celebrate a significant milestone this weekend, with Senior Co-Coach and Captain Jack Murphy set to play his 150th senior game for the Lions. Since making his senior debut in 2015, Murphy has established himself as one of the premier players in the Goulburn Valley League. Over the past decade, Murphy has built an outstanding football resume. A dual Senior Best & Fairest winner, GVL Interleague representative, League MVP and former Coburg VFL player, he has consistently performed at an elite level while representing the Lions with distinction. While his individual achievements are impressive, Murphy's influence extends far beyond the football field. Renowned for his professionalism, work ethic and commitment to the club, he has played a significant role in driving standards and helping develop the next generation of Lions players. Now serving as Senior Co-Coach, Murphy continues to lead from the front each week and remains one of the competition's most influential midfielders. SFNC President Peter Elliott said Murphy's contribution to the Lions over the past 11 seasons has been remarkable. “Murph has been an outstanding servant of our football club and thoroughly deserves this recognition,” Mr Elliott said. “His achievements on the field are exceptional, but it's the way he goes about it that sets him apart. “He's one of the hardest workers at the club, a fantastic leader and someone who is so passionate about the success of the Seymour Lions. “He's represented our club with distinction throughout his career and continues to set the standard both as a player and coach. “To reach 150 senior games is a fantastic achievement and one that both Murph and everyone associated with the club should be proud of. “We're incredibly fortunate to have had Murph at Seymour for so long and look forward to seeing him continue to make an impact in the years ahead.”
