After commencing the year with North Melbourne, Steigenberger was appointed as captain / coach the Balldale Football Club in 1937 (3rd) and 1938 (3rd) in the Chiltern & District Football Association. He then coached the Brocklesby Football Club to a famous Albury & District Football League premiership against Henty in 1939, after a free kick was awarded on the siren to Wally Crooks, who kicked a goal for Brocklesby to win by two points.
