COACHES CORNER featuring JUSTIN DESSENT (aka JD)
Justin, played Junior footy with Sale up to U/15's, then followed the Dessent family tradition to play footy at Devon Football Club (now The Allies, DWWWW). He played senior football all that year (1987), playing in a senior premiership at age 15, alongside brothers Stephen and Dean. Justin also played in Country Victoria representative sides during this time.
At age 17 Justin was played for Maffra, where he was part of the losing grand final side in 1989. (Mind you, they only went down to leongatha by 2 points).
He continued to play at Maffra untill the end of 1994 when he decided head back to the "old stomping grounds" at Sale, to again, play with the mates he'd grown up with. Heading back to play at Sale wasn't made easy for him though. Justin could not get a clearnace from his previous club, and was forced to stand down from playing football for 6 months, finally getting a clearance on 20th June 1995 - the very evening that clearances closed - Wow!
Finally, cleared to play for Sale, and at seasons end, under coach Darren Hall, played in another Senior Grand Final team in 1996. Unfortunately, holding another runners up flag.
JD continued to play at Sale until 2002, when he had a well deserved rest - he says his body was getting old - then came back and played a season at Sale City in 2004. Since "those playing days" Justin has undertaken various roles within the Sale Football Club, including Reserves assistant coach, Senior runner, trainer and currently serves as a member on the committee.
So, as you can see, the College Junior Football Club has gained the experience of a young coach, who has played football at high levels, and will be an incredible assett to the Club. The boys enjoy training under JD and will gain alot from his experience, both as a player, a Dad and a great coach.
WELCOME TO THE COLLEGE JUNIOR FOOTY CLUB JD!
