    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?

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

    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!

  • Quote

    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.

    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.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
