Jervis Arthur Stokes (21 September 1927 – 30 April 2016)[1] was an Australian rules footballer who played with Richmond in the Victorian Football League (VFL).

Early career

[edit | edit source]

Stokes, a centreman and half forward, played originally for Burnie.[2][3] He represented Tasmania at the 1947 Hobart Carnival.[4]

Richmond

[edit | edit source]

In 1948, Stokes joined the Richmond Football Club, where his brother Ray played.[2][5] It was his injured brother's spot that Jervis took to make his league debut in round seven, against Hawthorn.[6] He made a total of 11 appearances that year, then eight in the 1949 VFL season, followed by 14 in 1950.[7]

Post VFL career

[edit | edit source]

Stokes went to Moorabbin as captain-coach in 1951, for the club's inaugural season in the Victorian Football Association (VFA).[8][9] Moorabbin won only three of their 20 games in 1951, finishing only higher on the ladder than the other new club Box Hill.[10]

From 1952 to 1954, Stokes was playing coach of Northern Tasmanian Football Association (NTFA) club Scottsdale.[11][12]

In his first season, Stokes guided Scottsdale to the grand final, which they lost to City by 20 points.[13] It was the first time Scottsdale had made an NTFA grand final.[14]

He coached Moe to a premiership in the 1956 Latrobe Valley Football League season, just two years after the club had finished a season winless.[15]

After four years with Moe, Stokes coached Trafalgar, but later returned to Tasmania and in 1964 was non playing coach of Devonport.[16][17]
