MELBOURNE has added another former Sydney Swans alumni to its coaching panel for 2014 with George Stone joining the Demons as midfield and strategy coach.

Stone, a veteran of almost 30 years experience as an assistant coach in varying capacities, was a key member of Demons senior coach Paul Roos' panel at the Swans from 2005-09, before serving under current Swans coach John Longmire.

Stone was also an assistant coach at Hawthorn from 1984 to 1997, including four premierships in six years from 1986-91.

In all, he has been involved in six premierships from nine Grand Finals during his coaching career.

In 2013, Stone received a lifetime achievement award for his contribution to the game.

They say we're missing out on things or whatever, yet PJ, Roos, and Bartlett are keeping things quiet and are building!!!

Unbelievably impressive CV.
Could be our best pick up of the trade period.
Welcome aboard George.

I'm thinking we should have stuck with Brian Royal.

If ever there was a post which seemed dead serious but absolutely had to be sarcasm, that was it.

Underrated post.

Very happy with Stone to guide the midfield.
