[grimlock]

I noticed on the Swans website, that we now have a stoppage coach named Mark Stone. Can anyone tell me more about him? Did he play AFL and who with? Thanks

Sorry mate, can't help you there. I don't think he ever played VFL/AFL Football.

Stone was around at the Swans when Rocket was still coach. He was an assistant at the time. He's the one that got all the credit for Kennelly's arrival as an AFL footballer. He worked quite closely with him. He left the Swans for Hawthorn a few years back and is now back at the club in the above mentioned role.

That is George Stone you're referring to with that information.

He left to go back to Melbourne after the death of his young son and was with the Hawks for a few seasons. They ditched him when Clarkson took over and he now performs some scouting work for the Swans, watching Melbourne clubs.

He also took on a role coaching and mentoring Currie last season when he elected to stay in Melbourne for a year.

Yes, George Stone also oversaw Daniel Currie's training in Melbourne last year.
