Peter Jonas is on 5AA. They asked him if he has been approached by the Crows to fill a position on the coaching panel and he said he has had a phone call from Triggy and has said he would like to leave it alone until the swans finish their season.

He said that he is tempted to come back home and you could sense that he would give us a genuine consideration. I think we have to throw everything, including the kitchen sink to get him. He would be just what the doctor ordered as a development coach.

Do not accept no as an answer AFC. He is our man so go get him. His record in developing youngsters speaks for itself. Jonno hinted that he would like the opportunity. :D


We simply MUST get him. No 2 ways about it

Last I heard was that he wasn't interested in coming back because he wanted he didn't want to break his contract with Sydney

Well he was on 5AA and he made it clear that he will sit down with us at the end of the season and hammer things out. He did say that he let the swans know about it too and he is interested in coming back home.

From the horse's mouth so I would take it as gospel:) He would be a fantastic get and I reckon Jerome would be pleased:D

I heard the interview today and I would be happy to see him at AFC. I'm not getting my hopes up though. His role with Sydney sounds pretty good in that he gets to coach the reserves side every week. I think that's a huge plus for Sydney. We'll wait and see.

Yeah, I'd be pleased to see Jona there.

I would not be pleased to see some of the names that have been rumoured (D Hart, M Nunan) or some of the names in the Sunday Mail (T McGuinness, M Flynn, D Noble, S Rowe, G McIntosh) at the Crows. Clearly Bones had a bit too much input into that article.

Sounds very promising and your right in what you said Stiffy in developing players. My best mate had him as a state coach if my memory serves me correctly and he was all but praise for him, until he dropped him haha
 
Gotta remember the All Blighty sought him out and demanded that he was part of the set up in 97.......would be great to see the Dogs first pre,miership coach back at the crows
 
Hmmm, would make a perfect replacement for a soon to be Hawthorn coach.
:cool:

Hmmm... I dont like that idea. How certain are you that Clarko will get the gig ahead of Conan?

Not at all actually. :D
Few people have posted as such, but IMO Ayres will get it.

We can but try. :D

Serious question.
Why do people not see him as a coach, but only as an assistant?
Surely he has the runs on the board by now.

I heard the interview today as well, and he was asked the question whether he had applied for the Adelaide coaching gig. His answer was no, because he didn't see himself as ready yet.

I think there's a good chance that he will be our defence coach as he is in Sydney, as well as looking after the 1st, 2nd and 3rd year players' development.

He made it clear that he had not discounted a return to Adelaide and would look at it after Sydney's season was over.

He'd be a good get IMO.

He'd be a smashing get, I agree.
 
He was a flanker I think......................................................?
 
a) forward
b) flanker
c) on-baller
d) he was a footballer

In Centrals good year in 1979 (they finished top, but as was Centrals' way back then were tipped out of the finals in straight sets by Port :D and South) he used to swap between CHF and on-ball with John Duckworth. Was a good grab for his size and very mobile. IIRC became quite injury prone, especially after his move to VFL, and suffered a broken leg (maybe twice).

Yep - all of that - a class player.

very difficult onballer to match up on - had pace and good size. He and Duckworth were Centrals in 1979 and was very unlucky with injury when he crossed to North. Sounds like he will be coming back for sure
 
The fact that he did not rule out coming to AFC is extremely encouraging considering Sydney's season is still going and you wouldn't expect him to say much at all.

Dermie will be sh*tty because he really wanted his mate Ayres to get the job.

My mail from a totally reliable source this morning before the position was announced was that the board were split between Clarkson and Ayres, but Dermie was pretty confident that Ayres would get the nod.

As we now know Dermie must have miscounted the numbers. :D
