Stan Alves

Stan Alves calls himself a ‘Master Communicator’.

Since retiring from playing football he has become a coach, media personality, entrepreneur and business manager.

When Stan started in football his coach considered him too lightweight and feeble and it was only Alves’ persistence that helped him make the grade. He proved the gainsayers wrong and played 226 VFL games for Melbourne and several interstate VFL games before moving to North Melbourne and the Kangaroos.

Stan coached St Kilda to its fourth ever grand final.

Stan also supports RecLink, an organisation established to assist disadvantaged people to take part in sporting activities.
