Gary Ayres Steps Down
In Breaking news today, Adelaide Crows coach Gary Ayres has stepped down as head coach. After the club had a very good 2005 season, but Ayres says "the year was good for us, other teams had injuries, we were the lucky ones i guess". This is a great football club, and i have enjoyded my time since 2000, 6 years i have been at the club, and i have never had any trouble with the players, the supporters. or the board. However it is in the best interest that i levae the club and start a career elsewhere. I dont know who will become the new coach of the Crows, but whoever it is, i wish the good luck for the future.


Jarman appointed Crows coach

Adelaide Crows hero Darren Jarman has been elected the new Senior coach of the Adelaide Crows after the stepping down of Gary Ayres last week.
Jarman has previously coached SANFL team Port Adelaide, and now looks to take the big stage in the AFL. Jarman says " i have been involved with the club since i came in 1996 but now you can basically say the club is mine, and mine only". Darren Jarman was the hero in the Crows 2 Premierships back in 1997 and 1998 kicking 11 goals combined in the 2 Grand Finals and one of the most favoured players of the club.

Jarman kicked over 250 Goals for the Crows from 96- 2001
