Sam Radford - Midfield Coach

Rising through the local football ranks after a playing career with Prahan and Sandringham, Radford became a premiership coach of Parkdale after various stints with Chelsea, St Paul’s Altona and St Bede’s.

First joining the red and blue in 2016, Radford first worked as an assistant coach for the VFL and AFLW sides.

Radford became the caretaker Casey VFL Head Coach midway through the 2019 season and occupied the head role until the end of 2020, when he returned to teaching full-time as the Covid pandemic made the Casey job a part-time position.

Radford remained with the club in an opposition strategy and education role before joining Jones to take charge of the midfield when the past Demon great returned to the club ahead of the 2025 season.
