Farr first stepped up to coach Kalkee in 2018 and after signing on the dotted line he will be entering his fifth season with the club in 2022.

When asked about the motivation to coach the Kees once again, Farr said he and the club had unfinished business.

"We haven't had a conclusion to the last two season, so I want to finish what we started," he said

"We have a good group together now and we want to get some good results at the end of the season.

"The most pleasing thing is the majority of the group want to stick it out and honour our agreement heading into the 2021 season.

"It is a good family club and it was an easy decision.

"My wife plays netball here, my daughter plays netball here and my son plays football here, so it wasn't a hard decision."

Farr has a wealth of Wimmera footballing success and experience behind him including coaching Dimboola to the 2013 Wimmera League flag and playing a part in all 10 of the Horsham Demons' premierships between 2003 and 2012.

In 2021 he helped guide Kalkee to a fourth-place finish on the HDFNL ladder with nine wins and just three losses across the season.

Looking ahead to 2022 Farr identified a few key areas where his side could get better to help them contend for higher honours.

"We bought on some kids and there is some really good kids coming out of the under-17s," he said.

"And we got smashed by injuries last season, so if we can have a bit of luck in that regard and bring these young kids on there will hopefully be some success there waiting for us.

"We want to be a higher scoring team so that will be a focus.

"We want to be more efficient inside our forward 50 and so we will tweak things a bit and see if we can try and kick a bigger score week to week."

Farr has been in senior coaching roles for the best part of 15 years and he said the toughest part of the job was trying to find new ways to connect with a playing group.

"I am always trying to not be stagnant," he said.

"I want to come up with new ideas and new drills to keep people engaged and that is the toughest thing.

"The challenge is trying not to be the same coach and the same person week after week and year after year because that won't get you anywhere."

Despite the stresses of being in the top job, Farr said he loves getting the chance to coach Kalkee.

"I have a passion for the game and I get a buzz out of seeing where the younger guys end up," he said.

"Not just in the local leagues, but seeing them to go onto to better footy.

"I also enjoy the club aspect and that team environment of the game and the sport has been a passion of mine since I was a young fella.

"I am extremely grateful to have had the opportunity to coach in the game for so long."
