Who is Dean Wallis?
Dean Wallis is a former Australian rules footballer for the Essendon Football Club of the AFL.
Originally from Nhill, due to his physical style of play Wallis became known as one of the leagues toughest players. Despite winning premierships with the club in 1993 and 2000, he played a total of just 127 VFL/AFL games in his 14 seasons with the Bombers.
After retiring as a player he became an assistant coach for the Bombers. He left the club after Matthew Knights was appointed as senior coach in 2008, and moved to the Fremantle Football Club as an assistant coach. At the conclusion of the 2010 AFL season, returned to Essendon as a development coach, following Knights' replacement as senior coach with James Hird.
In 2011, Wallis was suspended from coaching for 14 games and fined $7500 by the AFL for betting on league games in violation of anti-gambling rules.
