“Webb has made a fantastic contribution to the Talent Academy over the past season, providing great support and leadership to its players, coaches, support staff and volunteers throughout his tenure,” Baker said.

“We would like to congratulate Marc on his new role heading back into the AFL system with the Bulldogs. Marc will be missed as he has created a positive environment to get the best out of his team and each individual player.”

“On behalf of everyone involved at the West Australian Football Commission I thank Marc for the vital role he has played throughout 2021.”

Webb said, “I have thoroughly enjoyed my time at the WAFC, and I can’t speak highly enough of the staff within the Talent Programs and right across the whole WAFC.”
