Corey Enright is set to rejoin Geelong as an assistant coach for the 2027 season after leaving St Kilda. The six-time All-Australian defender cited the opportunity to develop his coaching philosophy as a key factor in his decision. Enright previously spent five seasons with St Kilda, where he served as a backline coach and headed game plan strategy. His departure follows a semi-final loss for Geelong earlier this season, and he will join the team's experienced coaching group alongside Chris Scott. Enright's return is seen as a significant move for Geelong as they aim to strengthen their coaching staff heading into the next season.
