Connolly Quits Dockers
For weeks, there has been speculation that Chris Connolly would be gone as senior coach by the end of the season or before. That speculation has become a reality with the club announcing that Connolly will no longer coach the club. According to a media statement released by Fremantle, numerous discussions have taken place in recent weeks between Connolly and the board. Connolly told the board on Monday that he would not seek a new contract, after which the board considered a number of options for the remainder of the season. Those options were to have Connolly see out the season, step down immediately, or coach at least two more games and have a send-off at Subiaco Oval.
