Anthony Rock Biography

Fremantle cuts ties with high-performance boss Jason Weber and assistant coaches Michael Prior and Anthony Rock effective immediately.

"We are taking this course of action now out of respect for people who are long-term servants of the club and who had sought clarity about their futures at Fremantle," Dockers chief executive Simon Garlick said.

"There is never an ideal time in these situations but given the team's relocation to Cairns next week, once the decision had been reached regarding Jason, Michael and Anthony, we wanted to provide them with the clarity they are entitled to and deserve.

"It was therefore mutually agreed that they would not be required to fulfill their duties for the remainder of the 2020 season."

Recently retired Hawthorn premiership player David Hale has made an immediate move into coaching, joining Fremantle coach Ross Lyon's team of assistants for 2016.

The Dockers have made three new appointments, with Hale joined by fellow Hawthorn premiership player Brent Guerra and experienced coach Anthony Rock.

"David, Brent and Anthony each have key football and coaching qualities, and will be valuable additions to our club," Fremantle football manager Chris Bond said.

"They have decades of experience at the game’s most elite level and we look forward to them joining our coaching team and the valuable input they will have at the club."

Following the end of the 2009 season, the Kangaroos tell assistant coaches Daniel Daly, Darren Bewick, Anthony Rock and development coach Dave Newett that their services are no longer required under new coach Brad Scott.

Wayne Carey is closer to returning to North Melbourne on a regular basis than any time since the start of the 2002 season.

"I am good mates with Darren Crocker and Rocky (assistant coach Anthony Rock) and get along well with (football manager) Donald McDonald and all the guys that are involved there," Carey told Adelaide radio station 5AA.

"I'm more than willing to have a chat to some of the key forwards down at the club and that may happen later on in the year."
