The Successor

[dazzledavey36 55,508]

Is he still in the picture NSC??

[Machsy 2,858]

Get trading period over before making any serious moves.

We may want to deal with the swans.

Nick Smith?

[dazzledavey36 55,508]

Stewy Dew it is!.... well sorta..

FK off Sydney!

[pantaloons 2,019]

Just let him sign for goodness sake. I've had this 'Demons give Dew gong' headline ready to go for weeks.

[Bang Bang Bang 5,839]

Too early to start a "Sack Dew" thread?

[hardtack 10,747]

Too early to start a "Sack Dew" thread?

No, just go and start it on a Swans forum.

[Demon Disciple 12,410]

I'd almost prefer Dew to stay at Sydney for next year, we'd then be more likely to have Roos for 3 years as opposed to 2. Ain't nothing wrong with that!!!!

never too early

[Gorgoroth 13,153]

Should have been started last week.

[Norm Smith's Curse 2,602]

Yeah Stu Dew it is.

Must admit that this was the thought that came to my mind aswell

[What 18,810]

is Danny Frawley an idiot?

Coaches can leave if they are beingpoffered a prmotion, and Dew is being offered the senior coaching position at the MFC after a couple of years under Roos

Also, why do we think Dew is good enough to be the long term coach of the MFC? Roos has not seen him coach, has never sat next to him in the box.

It is fraught with danger.

Well lucky for us that Danny is looking after our best interests.

The answer to question 1 is yes.

And question 2, not quite sure what point you are trying to prove. Do you think those in power at West Coast watched Adam Simpson coach, or most other senior coach appointments for that matter. They just have to interview, gather as much info as they can, and make the best decision they can.

[The Lobster Effect 896]

The headline makes it seem like he's a certainty but then later in the article there's a bit of doubt...

[Norm Smith's Curse 2,602]

I'm told there are no longer any other candidates.

[Demoneyes 562]

And Capt Kirk?

[Hannibal 5,814]

This whole successor thing is rubbish.

But if it did the job in landing Roos then it's fine by me.

[Machsy 2,858]

Why so?

If Roos is not to be in the job in 3 years' time, would you not prefer that the coach that succeeds him has done an apprenticeship under him?

I think it's a good option, considering Roos doesn't want to be coach himself.

[Hannibal 5,814]

Why so?

If Roos is not to be in the job in 3 years' time, would you not prefer that the coach that succeeds him has done an apprenticeship under him?

Because there's too much guess work. We know that some coaches are great assistants but [censored] poor senior coaches. And it also eliminates excellent potential candidates that may be worth considering in a year or two.

It sounds great in theory, but has structural weaknesses that could be avoided.

I accept that it got Roos, so it's been a brilliant concept, but I see major flaws.

[Machsy 2,858]

Fair enough.

I can see some flaws too, but there's no perfect system in this case.

[rpfc 28,848]

It's different, I will give them that...

It gives a running head start to a prospective coach and allows them to learn of one of the best while being assured of their position.

And 'the Assistant Coach flavor of the month' wears thin with me. So as long as they pass TimD's EQ testing and Roos thinks they know footy - bring him in 3 years early.

Maybe we can develop some people for once.

[darkhorse72 1,925]

Dew is coming out of the Sydney system, but also experienced the hawthorn ie Clarkson way of doing business.

Roos would have some interaction with Dew's coaching from his until recent involvement with the swans academy so its not a blind guess. We have not also targeted the next flavour of the month, ie tudor/burns/sumich who just missed out of senior jobs etc.

If you notice how Jackson and now Roos operated seems very planned and methodical.

If they believe Dew is the one, we'll know for sure over the next 2/3 years as they can change their mind. But with the right development we can have a great coach as a successor..

[Mickey 4,752]

Didn't Dew coach with the Swans in 2010? Doesn't that mean that he coached under Roos?

[beelzebub 23,389]

Melbourne declare its hand. Dees want Dew as successor

Offer on table but dew yet to accept is the official line from Sydney. You would have to think Roos has been in deep discussion with Stu and that the club wouldnt have tabled an offer otherwise.

Now it gets fun.. Lets play hardball. Lets remind Colless et al that they don't get everything their way.

Go Dees
