FORMER Western Bulldogs champion Scott West is poised to start his AFL coaching career at Melbourne. It is understood the Demons have signed West for a part-time role.
West has been keen to dip his toes into the coaching arena, while maintaining a key role in his transport business.
The role, believed to be working with the Demons midfield, is the ideal stepping stone for West as he weighs up if he wants to pursue a long-term goal to be a senior coach.
It is understood St Kilda also showed an interest in him.
West is highly rated for his football brain.
Bulldogs coach Rodney Eade has for some time seen him as a teaching talent.
West, a seven-time best-and-fairest winner at the Dogs, has not known life at another club since walking into Whitten Oval to join the club's under-19s as a 15-year-old.
Now 34, he made an emotional exit from the Dogs in September after 324 games.
West is expected to face the media for the first time as a Melbourne staff member this morning. |

Will be strange seeing him in other colours but good luck to him. It's always good to see our former players get involved in the game after they retire.
Must say I always thought Westy would go back to his landscaping business after footy but this could be a good opportunity.

If he had to go to any other club, I'm glad it's Melbourne. Very happy about this.
