2026 Senior Coach

October 13, 2025
The Bungaree Football & Netball Club is excited to announce Alex Ross as our senior coach for the 2026 season.
Alex has been assistant coach under Ryan Waight for the past four years and now steps into the top job. His football journey began as a junior at Mt Clear and Redan before injury cut his playing days short. He later returned to the field to play two senior seasons with Bungaree, before unfortunately rupturing his ACL again in the 2023 finals series.
Alex also brings a wealth of coaching experience. He was assistant coach at St Patricks College’s 1st XVIII in 2016, coached his own team at the Mt Clear Junior Football Netball Club in 2017–18, assisted with the AFL Goldfields Talent Squads in 2018, and was a development coach with the Greater Western Victoria Rebels in the Talent League from 2019–21, before joining Bungaree as assistant coach in 2022.
The club went through a coach search, application and interview process which attracted several worthy candidates, and we’re delighted that Alex emerged as the successful choice to lead us into the next phase.
We’re thrilled to have Alex leading our club into 2026 and look forward to the next chapter under his guidance.
