Thecelebration was held atCrown Casino and wouldhave given him a chance torenew acquaintances withplayers and officials he hadknown over the years.At least that was histhinking until he opened theinvitation — to find that hewas expected to pay $750 justto attend the function!As he lived interstate, hewould have had to add about$250 in airfares and another$150 for accommodation,which would add up to anexpensive night.Needless to say, he declinedthe invitation.Mind you, he was not allthat keen to attend, becausethere would not be manythere from his era.He had found that atprevious Richmond reunionsnot a great many of today’splayers and officials had beenthat interested in the playerswho appeared in the Tigerjumper with Jerv back in thelate 1940s.Perhaps not as well knownas his brother Ray, who was astar centreman for Richmondand later for Tasmania, Jervwas one of only four CoastalPeterLyonsPeter’s Peoplefootballers, who played forTasmania in the 1947 ANFCcarnival in Hobart.The others were player andcoach of East <strong>Devonport</strong>Lindsay Webb, stillconsidered an icon, formerLatrobe coach Reg Castlesand another former East<strong>Devonport</strong> coach BernieWaldron, who had come tothe Coast from VFL club,Richmond.After that carnival, Jerv andthe brilliant Arthur Hodgsonwere the only twoTasmanians to play in theVFL. Jerv with Richmondand Arthur with Carlton.Jerv played 33 senior gameswith the Tigers during theJack Dyer years, before beingattracted by the morelucrative role of coachingfootball.He left Richmond to coachVictorian FootballAssociation club Moorabbinand stayed there for a year.He returned to Tasmaniaafter being appointed coach ofNTFA club Scottsdale. In 1952Jerv took Scottsdale to thegrand final against <strong>City</strong>,LOCAL LEGEND: Jervis Stokeswhich was coached by BobMiller. However, when theScottsdale players reachedYork Park, where it was tohave been held, they foundthe ground under water andthe match was put off untilthe following Saturday.Unfortunately, Scottsdalehad lost its edge in that weekand went down to <strong>City</strong> byabout two goals.He then moved back toVictoria, where he spent thenext six years coaching in thestrong Latrobe Valley League.The first four of these hewas in charge of Moe, withwhom he won a Premiership,and the next two withTrafalgar. He thought hisfootball career was over andcame back to <strong>Devonport</strong> toretire, but was talked intocoaching <strong>Devonport</strong> for oneseason, before calling it a day.Tasmanian LiberalsFOR ASSISTANCEPLEASE CONTACT:6421 7930jeremy.rockliff@parliament.tas.gov.auwww.jeremyrockliff.com.au47b Best Street, <strong>Devonport</strong>Get gassed up!For Fastpromptdeliveryon allyour gasneedsContact your local supplier on13 78 72<strong>Devonport</strong> <strong>Times</strong> <strong>July</strong> <strong>2008</strong> Page 74036974 GL
