The Return of Luke Mahoney

It is our absolute pleasure to announce that a club legend is coming home. Life member, Premiership Captain, one of our greatest Luke Mahoney will return to the club in a significant role within our Senior coaching group .

Luke will be in charge of Team Offence & Game-day trends, he will also take on the role of Chairman of Selectors.

Having spent almost a decade away from our club, coaching his own teams at North Old Boys and Fitzroy, and in recent times winning back to back games coaching the VAFA representative sides, it is an incredible acquisition and we are so excited to have Luke return to the club along with his wife Jodie and kids - Lucy, Max & Audrey.

“Ever since my appointment, I wanted Luke to come support me as his experience and passion are unmatched...I couldn’t be more excited to have the great man commit to coming back home.

He was my Captain as a player and one of the greatest influencers on my career so to reconnect as coaches now is a very special thing for me - and our players are going to love him."

from Luke

“It’s a great feeling to be back at the club after 10 years. SKOB has always meant a lot to me providing some many wonderful friendships and memories. I’m grateful to Plugger for the opportunity to return in a coaching role. There’s a strong culture here, built on hard work and connection, and I’m excited to contribute to the next phase of the club’s journey.”
