George Stone on his way

[Demon3 2,541]

With George Stone officially finished at Sydney, he will join the Demons in coming weeks.

The delay might be the Dew stuff, but a great addition to club for development!

Think I'll be counting those chickens when they hatch. The damn slow hatching chickens.

[S.R.J 418]

It's overdue, but Melbourne is starting to rock.

From the Sydney Swans website:

THE Sydney Swans wish to thank departing coaches Leigh Tudor and George Stone.

...................................................................................

Longmire said he wished to once again acknowledge the contribution of Stone, who was honoured as a life member of the Swans at last Friday night’s Club Champion Dinner.

“George has made an enormous contribution to this club over the past 12 years and it is absolutely fitting that he departs as a life member,” Longmire said.

“George has primarily worked in our opposition analysis and development areas and has been a key factor in the successful development of so many Swans players over the journey.

“He has commuted to Sydney on a regular basis over the past few years and we understand that he wishes to remain in Melbourne full-time.

“We thank him for everything he has done for the club and wish him all the best.

Probably end up going to North, Carlton or the Bulldogs and leave most Demonlanders with steam coming out of their ears

What an excellent pick up! I look forward to hearing the officialy release.

The development of the young Sydney lads has had to be one of the best.

I really hope we can acquire Dew - Sydney stoppage coach.

In 2013 Sydney led stoppages with 29.1 a game, and clearances with 39.7 a game.

I can see why Roos wants these two.

Huh?

Links to an old Dew article.

Huh?

Links to an old Dew article.

In which Caro claims that Stone is free to join Melbourne. It's old, but Caro isn't usually wrong on things like this.
