Dannie Seow

Having played his youth football for Montmorency of the Northern Football League in suburban Melbourne, Seow was recruited as a teenager to play for Collingwood’s U19s.  In addition to playing for the senior side under legendary coach Leigh Matthews, he represented Victoria in the U17 Teal Cup and Australia’s U18 tour of Ireland.  After six seasons at Victoria Park, he spent a year at the University of North Carolina, attempting to make the gridiron team as a wide receiver, then as a strong safety, before returning home for a two-year stint with the Melbourne Demons.

After retiring from pro footy, Seow moved to Shanghai before heading to Washington, DC two years ago.  There, he joined the Baltimore-Washington Eagles in a player-coach role, and took over the head coaching position of the Lady Eagles team.  Last year, the Lady Eagles sent a record number of players to Nationals, as they combined with Boston to finish fourth in the Women’s Division 2 field.
