Not a massive coincidence but Carlton had two unrelated ruck-men named Jones at the same time.

A number of St Kilda and Adelaide coaches have had their tenures at these clubs end after matches between the Saints and Crows as follows:
Robert Shaw - Shaw ended a disappointing two year stint as Adelaide Crows coach in 1995 and 1996 with a heavy loss to St Kilda at Waverley Park in Round 22 1996.
Neil Craig - A disastrous 103-point defeat to St Kilda late in the 2011 season in which the Crows kicked just 3.6-24 saw Adelaide dismiss Neil Craig from the senior coaches role.
Brenton Sanderson - The Crows finished a mid ladder season in 2014 with a 14 goal demolition of hapless wooden spooner St Kilda, but despite having taken the Crows within a kick of the 2012 Grand Final it wasn't enough for Brenton Sanderson to keep his job as Adelaide Crows senior coach.
Malcolm Blight - The first and surprisingly to this day only Adelaide Crows' premiership coach in 1997 & 1998, Blight retired from coaching after the 1999 season, but returned as St Kilda coach in 2001. It didn't go very well, and after just 15 rounds Blight was sacked by the Saints after an abysmal 97 point thrashing by Adelaide.
Don Pyke's last win as Adelaide coach was against St KildaPhil Walsh - The last victory he coached at Adelaide oval was against St Kilda.

And Adelaide's first premiership was won against St Kilda.

I do not think Warren 'Wow" Jones even played in same senior team as Peter 'Percy' Jones.Not a massive coincidence but Carlton had two unrelated ruck-men named Jones at the same time.
