Currently coaching in the SANFL Jarman wants a crack !!

http://www.heraldsun.news.com.au/footy/com...5E20322,00.html

Will this be the first of quite a few Coaches/ Assistants staking a position in the queue ? I hope so. The more the merrier and likely we are to get the right one ( whomever that is !! )

He would be well worth considering as an Assistant. Might even be able to teach Bruce (et al) some of the rudiments of disposal by foot. An assistant's job at AFL level would pay more and point to a better future than what he's doing. He certainly had some football nous as a player.

There's a bit of irony there.

I remember coming home from work one day in the early to mid 1980's to read about how Melbourne was interested in two up and coming young South Australian brothers. We drafted Darren Jarman but he never came to the club while Andrew Jarman insisted he wouldn't leave SA. Darren Jarman eventually played for Hawthorn and later joined Andrew at Adelaide. Both were champion footballers and we missed out big time.

Andrew was drafted by Brisbane the year after we drafted Darren; also didn't go.

I've always wondered how that works though. Did players have to nominate for the draft then, or could clubs just name anyone? If they did have to nominate, why would players (such as the Jarman boys) nominate themselves if they had no intentions of going where they were drafted?

He'd love Byron Pickett, they can have eating contests together...

And why oh why is Chris 'Marshmallow' Connolly still at such short odds? :angry:

You'd think people would be trying to get out of Adelaide and jump at any opportunity. I admit to spending an entire week in Unley a decade or two ago and it seemed more like a month. One morning I woke up with the worst beer hangover I've had in my life after treating Southwark and West End with gross disregard. Cooper's must do something with the water to obtain their own fine product. The Barossa is OK and you can get a nice piece of flake at Robe but on the whole I'd rather be somewhere else.

Carrying on with the crows theme - just read on footyheads that Shaun Rehn told SEN he's going to be putting his hand up too for our coaching job.

No shortage of applicants is right.

This is all getting a bit exciting, feel we're leading up to a melbourne cup or something, might have to go chuck some bucks on someone.

my money's on Viney, but it is exciting, l reckon budding coaches realise we have a fairly good list that needs a bit of tweaking

Yes & I believe he enjoyed our $15,000.00 sign-on fee as well.

No way i want jarman at our club

I tend to agree and I can't see it happening anyway......

But I do like the fact that there are starting to be people putting their hands up for the role.

Posted
probably going to be a few more too.....what do you reckon.,... :D
I reckon you're right :)

Honestly, if you're an assistant with senior coaching ambitions I can't see why you wouldn't say you were 'interested'. That's not to say you'd be a fool not to apply/interview, but surely you'd take a look.

I'm really likening to ratten now, I think he is a red hot chance as he has spent time with our playing group, bring him on! :D

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
