With George Stone officially finished at Sydney, he will join the Demons in coming weeks.

The delay might be the Dew stuff, but a great addition to club for development!

Think I'll be counting those chickens when they hatch. The damn slow hatching chickens.

Let the development begin

Well i think we have one club who officially hates us

Its been OverDEW

16 to go

Leaving no stone unturned in our efforts to go our due course.

It's overdue, but Melbourne is starting to rock.

Did anyone hear longmire interviwed on SEN this afternoon? I missed it but would be interested to hear what he said about dew. Can't imagine ox not bringing it up

Let's kill two birds with one stone and get Dew over too.

wheres the confirmation Stone is coming?

From the Sydney Swans website:

THE Sydney Swans wish to thank departing coaches Leigh Tudor and George Stone.

...................................................................................

Longmire said he wished to once again acknowledge the contribution of Stone, who was honoured as a life member of the Swans at last Friday night’s Club Champion Dinner.

“George has made an enormous contribution to this club over the past 12 years and it is absolutely fitting that he departs as a life member,” Longmire said.

“George has primarily worked in our opposition analysis and development areas and has been a key factor in the successful development of so many Swans players over the journey.

“He has commuted to Sydney on a regular basis over the past few years and we understand that he wishes to remain in Melbourne full-time.

“We thank him for everything he has done for the club and wish him all the best.

Probably end up going to North, Carlton or the Bulldogs and leave most Demonlanders with steam coming out of their ears

What an excellent pick up! I look forward to hearing the officialy release.

The development of the young Sydney lads has had to be one of the best.

I really hope we can acquire Dew - Sydney stoppage coach.

In 2013 Sydney led stoppages with 29.1 a game, and clearances with 39.7 a game.

I can see why Roos wants these two.

Doesnt say anything about him coming to the MFC

I agree 100%.

The Swans reportedly have given the out-of-contract development coach George Stone their blessing to join Roos at the Demons given that he has been commuting to Sydney.

In which Caro claims that Stone is free to join Melbourne. It's old, but Caro isn't usually wrong on things like this.
