SA Footy

In a real suprise !!!


SYDNEY Swans assistant coach, South Australian Peter Jonas, has accepted a position on the Adelaide Crows coaching panel

"After four great years in Sydney I thought that, at the age of 47, the timing was right to head home," said Jonas today.

"I was offered the opportunity to join the Adelaide footy club on the coaching panel and that, combined with the fact the family were keen to head home, made the decision much easier.

"I would sincerely like to thank Paul Roos and the Sydney Swans for giving me the opportunity to be a part of what is a tremendous football club, the memories I leave with will stay with me for the rest of my life."

Swans head coach Roos said the club fully understands the decision.

"Peter has been an extremely important member of our coaching team for four years and, while it's sad to see him go, we totally understand his wish to head home to Adelaide," he said.

"Peter's role in development has been pivotal in fast tracking a lot of our younger players to play in successive grand finals."

Roos said everyone at the club wishes him and his family all the best back in Adelaide.

And with Longmire and Lyon in line for the 'Aints job, could be a couple of footy jobs going in Sydney next year?

How will that affect them, especially the dynamics in the box as they make the moves each Saturday....??

Could the former Bays champ Peter Berbakov move from the lime green to the coaches box??

now theres a name I havent heard for a while!!! we used to call him our Russian Recruit!!!!

John Blakey has left the Lions and already been signed by the swans

Guys

the word on the streets in Syd is Lyon is the front runner

On the Jonas appointment I am a little suprised

reason, Jonas's role with Sydney was the same role Stewy is doing with the crows, Lyon was the midfield coach, so if you now look at Craigy's assistant coaches it is hard to identify who has the experience to take on the role of midfield coach

It will be interesting to see how Craigy splits the duties amongst the group

i am a little surprised at the JONAS announcement, he was on DUMB and DUMBER the other week and was saying he was enjoying sydney etc and mentioned the rent factor of $750p/w!!!! ouch

ouch tell me about it, you think rent is bad, don't even let me start on morgages

boom boom
