Long-time Bulldogs backline coach Rohan Smith will depart the club at the end of the season after 13 years as an assistant or development coach, following a decorated 300-game career across 16 seasons at the club.
"For me, he is the prime example of someone we owe a lot to as a footy club. He is a shining example of someone who just fought the good fight. He has been a great confidante of mine, very loyal, he has had so many powerful partnerships with players, all across our lines, but particularly our defenders," Bulldogs head coach Beveridge said of Smith.
"He has been a very influential coach. He is a premiership assistant coach. He has influenced our footy program significantly which is my ninth year – Rohan and I have been together since the start. He will be really missed. He is a great friend and we love him to death."
