In the Sun and twitter from Nic Nat

And posted 2 hours before yours in this very thread.

And that means?

personally i'd be very happy with dew.

has been under williams and clarkson as a player, and roos and longmire as an assistant.

And that means?

It was reported two hours beforehand.

Can't believe I had to explain that.

So with the announcement of Simpson to West Coast's senior position our known options are:

Leigh Tudor

Stuart Dew

Peter Sumich

Brett Kirk

Alan Richardson(?)

What do we think?

Dew or Sumich for me.

Throw in Nathan Bassett as well, can't hurt!

And that means?

Roos is stuck with the job now for 7 years

Not that I know any inside info, but I reckon it will be Dew. Roosy would not have gone into this without knowing exactly who his support staff would be. I would not be surprised if this was marked from well out.

I don't discount the albeit slim possibility that the Swans could still do an about-face and release Dew from his contract.

Bassett has been interviewed by Essendon and Richmond, according to the HS, for assistant positions.

Doesn't mention us at all.

I don't think we'd be aiming for a bloke with no connections to anyone in the footy dept (bar maybe Viney?) who hasn't been an assistant coach at AFL level yet.

Gutted that Simpsons over here with the eagles.... was my pick for out next coach... What's the go with Tudor? He's left the swans but haven't heard much recently about where he's going next year if its not to us.

Has to be dew one would think not a great deal of options out there

All they have to do if they want Dew is to name him and say he will take over at the end of his Swans contract, he will be released from said contract the next day.

Good call RPFC.

I like it.

If they still keep him after we name him (if we do of course) then he should take two folders to each meeting, one with the swans logo and one with the MFC on it

Great call! And surely a guarantee of the head coaching position is better than just being an assistant? Sort of like a full house beating 3 of a kind!

Or three of a kind beating two pairs even.

I recon it is going to be Dew and have absolutley no doubt that if Dew is the prefered option for Roos then PJ will make it happen and ther is nothiing Sydney will be able to do about it. He is loke a dog with a bone once he makes a decision.

I think you are right, Dew is our man.

IMO they're biding their time and not discussing Dew with the Swans any further, especially during trade period as it may somehow affect our trades, possibly even trades with other clubs (3 way trades etc).

Then after it's finished....BANG!

Could be onto something.

I thought it was odd when Josh Mahoney indicated we didn't expect to announce the successor until around the end of the trade period.

Whats M.Voss doing?

They might be prepared to wait for Dew which will be good for us. We sign Dew for 2015, then Roos coaches his third year in 2016 before the handover, we get 3 years out of Roos.

I am hoping Roos will be the face of the club for some years yet. Even if he isn't coach.
