Thanks raboyle. Perth's a team that could probably use a high profile coach. Oh yeah, and it's good to see Jars move out of his comfort zone in Adelaide.

Thanks raboyle - congrats to Perth. This would be Perth's best signing in decades. Disclaimer: Although I did say this when Magro was appointed coach.

Jars has a lot of passion and hopefully will take Perth out of their comfort zone for the first time in a long time. I look forward to a Perth v Swans GF in 2009!

Jarman has a wonderful capacity to get the best out of his personel - irrespective of whether they are inexperienced.
At North Adelaide, his positive attitude was infectious - especially among the younger kids, many of whom bloomed under his stewardship.
I remember Perth's glory days of the '60s and '70s and hope they can deliver their supporters a flag in the not-too-distant future.

Perth footy club hey

Keep Diggin

Can you tell me if he was sacked or quit as coach in Adelaide and why?

 

[Adrian Shelton]

He's the bomb Perth have needed in the rear for a while, will always be thankful for his time at North because there would not have been a North still existing without people like him there to start it off

Top signing!

And we've also managed to snare de-listed Essendon player Dean Dick.

I can feel a good season boys.

C'arn Perth!!!!

The reason Jars gave at his press conference was that he had to get out of his comfort zone and prove to the AFL world that he was serious about coaching. I guess from that, he wants to coach in the AFL system and is broadening his experience.
