One of WA’s longest serving football administrators, Grant Dorrington, is set to start the next chapter of his long career in the game when he steps down as the WAFC’s Director of Pathway and Competitions at the end of July.
Grant has spent more than 38 years in a range of football roles during a dynamic period in which the sport has been transformed into a modern game with almost 150,000 players registered in Western Australia playing across all levels of competition, giving football by far and away the largest participation base in organised sports. His career as an administrator covers the four decades in which the WAFC, West Coast Eagles and Fremantle Dockers were established, the current talent development system was created, Peel Thunder joined the WAFL, and the AFL partnering model was agreed for the WAFL.
