Western Bulldogs assistant coach Marc Webb will depart the Club in the coming weeks, returning home to Perth for family reasons.

Webb has been part of the red, white and blue coaching setup for the past two seasons, joining initially as the midfield coach before transitioning into a specialist role in charge of stoppages and analysis.

The 44-year-old returns home to be reunited with his young family, supporting his wife Lisa, who has taken the reins as the Fremantle Dockers AFLW Head Coach.

Bulldogs’ Executive Director of Football, Chris Grant thanked Webb for his contributions across two campaigns.

“Marc came to us with vast experience across a variety of roles in WA footy, with his professionalism and diligence a standout within our football department,” he said.

“He is a passionate football person, and we thank him for his tireless effort during his time at the Kennel.

“We wish Marc, Lisa, Ollie and Leo all the best for their next chapter in WA.”

Webb said he was eternally grateful for the opportunity given to him by the Western Bulldogs.

“I’ve loved my time at the Bulldogs and am extremely grateful to Luke Beveridge and Chris Grant for the opportunities provided to me in the past 24 months,” Webb said.

“The Club has been incredibly understanding towards my family situation and allowed me to focus my time and energy on this fantastic playing group.

“I look forward to watching the Club from afar into the future.”
