The renaming of the Coaches’ Room at Optus Stadium to the “John Todd Coaches’ Room” is a fitting tribute to the late John Todd, a legendary figure in Western Australian football.

Todd’s remarkable career includes playing 132 senior games for the South Fremantle and coaching over 700 games, leading the likes of the Bulldogs, East Fremantle, and Swan Districts to six WAFL premierships.

His impact on the sport is profound, having been inducted into both the AFL Hall of Fame and the WA Hall of Fame.

This honour at Optus Stadium not only celebrates his contributions to the game but also ensures that his legacy will be remembered by future generations of football fans.
