Bannockburn and Werribee Centrals have both announced contract extensions for their coaches for 2026.
Ron Pilgrim will continue at the Tigers for a fifth season after taking on the role for the second time in 2022 and guiding the Tigers to the flag that year.
It will be a rare absence from St Albans Reserve for Bannockburn this year, with the Tigers out of finals contention.
They sit ninth with a 5-10 win-loss record.
The Centurions have locked away playing coach Rhyce Prismall for a seventh season after spending the first three years as co-coach with Nick Smith.
Centrals also announced that captain Michael Culliver will step up to an assistant coaching role.
The Centurions remain a slim hope of finals action, needing to win their remaining fixtures against Corio, Geelong West, and Anakie, and have other results go their way.
At this stage, Corio is the only GDFNL club searching for a new coach following Joel Bennett’s decision to step down.
While Thomson coach Paul Lynch is yet to make a call on his future.
