during Australia's fifth test match against Great Britain. McFadden has coached for the Australian Institute of Sport. McFadden was the head coach of the Australia women's national water polo team from 2005 to 2016. On 13 August 2008, after his team drew 7–7 in a match against Hungary, he had a melt down at the media conference regarding the match officiating that saw Melissa Rippon removed from the game when Australia was ahead by a goal only for Hungary to tie things up by a goal in the remaining 16 seconds. McFadden called the referee an arsehole and went on to say: "How's that a kick-out [exclusion] at the end of the game? We're up by a goal, we don't want to give away an exclusion, we foul the girl, we're trying to cut back. The Hungarian player has hold of us and we get excluded. That's just total bullshit as far as I'm concerned. I'd like to kill the bastard." At the 2012 Summer Olympics he coached the team to the bronze medal.
