Wheelchair Team

David Gould

Head Coach

Taking full-time role as Head Coach, will concentrate on the coaching side this season however we know that white line fever may get the better of him. Very handy across all positions on court. Runner up Best and Fairest last year.

Grant Leonard

Captain

Guernsey Number: 1

Captain, and fourth year player up forward. Very grateful to represent this great club. Captained the SA Team for the 2nd time at last year’s AFL Wheelchair Championship. As with the whole team, he can’t wait to bring the cup home to The Parade for the first time.

Michael Neroni

Guernsey Number: 2

Third-year player. His height and speed has been crucial for our backline and will also be floating up forward this season. Michael Neroni received last year’s Trademark Player award.

Holly Gould

Guernsey Number: 6

Fourth-year player, plays up forward, always seems to get free and very handy in the goals. Works particularly well with her Dad on court, making them a great father-daughter combination.

Darren Schutz

Guernsey Number: 12

Darren is a second-year player for NFC, and the winner of last year’s Best and Fairest, a very handy addition to the side last year with his height and chairs skills for a low two pointer. Started last year’s season as ruck whilst helping Rick learn the position as well. Very handy as a backman with his height and speed.

Richard Davis

Guernsey Number: 9

Fourth-year player. Mr Reliable, our versatile backman for the team. Always consistent, giving 100% for the team and steadies the ship for us down back. Richie represented SA for the second time at last year AFL Wheelchair Championship.

Fourth-year player, aka Plugger. Brings a lot of experience to the team, has been part of wheelchair football since the inception in the SA Wheelchair team for the original national carnivals. Very handy up forward with long range and accurate goal kicking, showing his strength in this area.
