Greenvale has turned to a familiar face as it aims to rise up the Essendon District Football League premier division ladder.
The Jets announced that Anthony Rock had been appointed for next season.
Rock brings with him a wealth of experience from a decorated AFL playing career of 222 games with North Melbourne and Hawthorn, highlighted by a 1996 AFL premiership with the Kangaroos.
Following his playing days, Anthony built an outstanding coaching resume, developing elite young talent at the North Ballarat Rebels and holding assistant coaching roles at AFL clubs Melbourne, St Kilda, and North Melbourne.
Rock then had his first stint at the Jets where he coached the club to back-to-back premier division premierships in 2012 and 13 before winning another premiership at St Bernard’s in the Victorian Amatuer Football Association in 2015
Anthony re-joined the AFL coaching ranks at Fremantle in 2016 as a development coach, before being promoted to midfield coach from 2017 to 2019.
“Anthony has a proven record of building strong football programs, nurturing players, and instilling a winning culture,” the Jets said on social media.
“His return to Greenvale is an exciting appointment for our club. We look forward to his leadership in developing our senior program and inspiring the next generation of Jets.”
Rock replaces Darren Bewick as coach at the Jets.
This season they finished second bottom with five wins after making finals the year before.
