Seems appropriate to me.


Retire - To fall back or retreat, as from battle

I know which one I'd prefer.

Roy will certainly be up there with the best and his record with Central is just fantastic. A great club man and a good, honest bloke as well. Congrats on the career and wish you the very best in your future plans

I'll wait for an official anouncement from the club before commenting, not just something mentioned on 5AA.
Let me guess, Cornes broke the 'story'?

Probably better suited to developing younger players, is Browny. I think Gavin Chaplin would make a great League coach.

He's a pretty good football judge though, halfway through the year on an ABC telecast he said that 'we're not anywhere near the level we have been'.

If Roy is gone.

I would be very happy with Andrew Jarman.

Centrals will make him a SANFL GOD. :D

And get his brother also. ;)

Isn't his soon-to-be wife based in Sydney for her work on Channel 7?

I don't think S.Dew will be Central District's next League coach, personally...

Roy was apparently on Channel 10 news tonight saying he hasn't made a decision on his coaching future, as yet, but will let the club know on Thursday what his intentions are.
