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!

    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.

    Huh?

    Links to an old Dew article.

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

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
