Any takers for Stewie Dew as our next coach?

No way known, not even remotely close to being a senior coach. Just as the Adelaide coaching selection committee

 roos wanted him as successor at Melbourne and swans gave him a 3 year deal to keep Melbourne away - rightly or wrongly is very highly regarded in the industry

No he is not, one person doesn't make an industry.

[Francois Jackson]

hang on champ. Being highly regarded by clarko, roos and longmire not good enough for you?

[Zlatan]

The industry knows internally what we are like despite our boards best efforts in trying to have the club appear otherwise. Hence big name coaches never want to come here and when presented with the opportunity they dismiss it immediately.

Thompson in 1999 is a classic example.
Sheedy always used the Prodigal Son return factor as leverage even though he almost signed in 1999.
The romance was almost there but never materialised.

Roos, Pagan, Parkin, Matthews, Blight heck even Grant Thomas have seen us as fragile.

All clubs are aware of this fragility and always like their chancesagainst us.

Even the opposition hacks see us as their one chance to shine at this level.

I reckon Ross Lyon would enjoy it here

Garbage he'd never come. The more $$$$ they offer a coach the more autonomous that coach will be, doing what we wants how he wants.

RFC want a fledgling assistant who thinks he can do the job and has stars in his eyes optimistic that he will be the man to deliver RFC their 11th premiership. Until his 2nd or 3rd year in when the weight of expectation carries with it the smell of failure and another futile RFC caoching appointment who will never ever get another senior gig.

What's that champ, regarded by Clarko as a player not a coach!

I'm telling you he was an absolute disaster when interviewed by Adelaide

Is that ok with you champ?

[Francois Jackson]

says who? okay assuming that clarko never wanted him as an assistant he must be doing something right if longmire and roos both want/ed him.

just on the adelaide interview not turning out well for dew, just refresh my memory how many jobs did hinkley not get again?

He may well be rubbish and you may be right, no one really knows. I thought hardwick was all good things, till he went the monkeyball route and started signing up your foley types for 3 years and handing out 3 year deals to complete duds.

Let's not forget our board has kept the faint in our senior coach when last year him and his new game plan cost us the first part of the season and it took Jack to speake out,out of frustration and he was hammered for it by the club at least he had balls.What made me love after that we reverted back to our old game plan run and carry fast and attacking etc.That tell's me Dimma and the football department have no idea !!!.
