Adam Marcon arrived at Arden Street after a stint as an assistant coach in Richmond’s AFLW program in 2023 and two seasons as senior coach at Aberfeldie in the Essendon District Football League premier division.

The decorated former Williamstown captain also spent a season on Richmond’s AFL list in 2016, where he played two senior games and won the club’s VFL best and fairest.

Marcon worked as a development coach in 2024 and 2025, and took the VFL coaching reins from Tom Lynch prior to the 2026 campaign.
