The boys said it was an honour and a privilege to be selected as coaches for the 2020 season for a club with such a rich history.

While it will be Willmott's first time coaching a senior team, Behan - who previously captain-coached St Pat's in 2018 - brings some experience with him.

"I captain-coached St Pat's first grade in 2017, it was a good learning experience with a good bunch of boys and with the knowledge that I gained and the experiences that I had with that club, I think will help us out," he said.

Behan said he was confident that he and Willmott could work together to get good results.

"I think we both have the same vision of where we want to go and how we want to get there, we are both meathead forwards so we know how to get the job done, and I think we will compliment each other," he said.

Willmott agreed.

"Me and Greg will work well together, I know what footy suits the Workies best and Greg will be able to put a different edge on that," he said.

Behan said that he is feeling the pressure of taking up the coaching position.

"I think it's more the pressure you give yourself, there's no one in any competition of any sport that wants to go into it and not do well, so we've got the foundations in this team to do well, so I think the pressure is just another indication that we care," he said.

Willmott said there was always going to be pressure with a job like this.

"But we know we have the support of the club and the players as well as from [previous coach] Graeme Osborne," he said.

Willmott said they already have a goal for next season and that was to finish in the top three.

"Then go on to win the comp," he said.

Behan said he couldn't see any reason why they couldn't make the top three.

"I think that our goal is for a home major semi-final and I definitely believe we've got the side to do it and hopefully put it all together," he said.

Willmott started playing for the Workies Wolves in the under 18's in 2006 before he played on and off for first grade in 2007 and become a regular fixture in 2008. He has continued with the side ever since.

Behan, on the other hand only joined the Workies halfway through the 2018 season, after being captain-coach of St Pat's.

"I started grade football in 2007 and have come through the ranks, I've played with Oberon, Bathurst Panthers and [St] Pat's, so I've had a bit of a journey," he said.

"I've played with Group 10 and Western Division, and along the way I've been taught by a lot of good coaches in Dave Elvy and Kurt Hancock so the experience I've got along the way will help out next season."

Behan said coaching was always the next step in his footy career.

"I've always been interested in doing it and to be able to do it with a good club and with a good person in Chook [Corey Willmott], I think we've got the winning combination," he said.

"Whether I'm playing or not I do believe that it is something I want to pursue because I love football and the game."

Willmott said the duo will continue on as coaches depending on the results they get throughout the season.

"We would like to be there for a few years," he said.

Behan said he would like to thank the Workies Club, Graeme Osborne and Anthony Brown for the opportunity and for the support and guidance.

"We will just see how we go," he said.

Willmott said he was excited for 2020.

"I can't wait for the season to kick off," he said.
