COLLINGWOOD has appointed former West Coast, Sydney and Fremantle midfielder Scott Watters as an assistant coach.
Watters, who was also being chased by North Melbourne, will be in charge of the Magpies' backline and work alongside former St Kilda defender Max Hudghton who was named as a part-time defensive coach on Monday.
The 40-year-old guided WAFL club Subiaco to premierships in 2007 and 2008 and coached the WAFL state representative side to wins over Queensland and South Australia in the past two years.
He replaces Blake Caracella who recently left the Pies to take up an assistant coaching role with Geelong.
Recruited from South Fremantle at the end of 1988 by West Coast, Watters played 109 games of AFL football from 1989-96, firstly for the Eagles (1989-‘92; 46 games, including the 1991 grand final), then Sydney (1993, ‘94; 37 games) and Fremantle (1995, ‘96; 26 games).
