Wayne Primmer (born 9 January 1959) is a former professional Australian rules footballer who played with Essendon in the Victorian Football League (VFL) and West Torrens in the South Australian National Football League (SANFL). [1]

Recruited from Woomelang, Primmer was a rover and had a particularly strong season in 1978, where he kicked 24 goals in his first six appearances that year, with seven goal hauls against South Melbourne, Carlton and Richmond. [2] By the end of the season he had amassed 47 goals, which were enough to top Essendon's goal-kicking. [3]

Primmer transferred to SANFL club West Torrens for the 1980 season, then to Mid-Murray Football League club Lalbert, in 1981 and 1982, the first as captain-coach. In 1983 he joined Hamilton as captain-coach and from 1984 to 1987 he played with Benalla, captain-coaching them in every year except 1986. [4]

Primmer then coached Benalla All Blacks Football Club from 1992 to 1994. [5]

Primmer coached Greta Football Club in the Ovens and King Football League from 2005 to 2007, [6] then later coached Sandhurst in the Bendigo Football League from 2016 to 2018, which included their 2016 premiership! [7]
