I hate bringing this up, but I was just listening to the pre-match discussions on Fox Footy. They interviewed Swans Assistant, Stuart Dew, and made the observation that he will one day make a very good Senior Coach. They went on to mention that he had missed out on the Carlton gig, but was still in the running for Essendon and Adelaide. Then Healy piped in with the fleeting comment that, depending on contract discussions at Melbourne, he could yet end up a Demon. What the hell was Healy referring to? ......... or did I completely mishear what Healy said? They were definitely talking about the role of senior coach. Someone please put my mind at ease. I need the sleep tonight!

Didn't hear it/see it.

Is Goodwin out the backdoor...

Could it be a blessing in disguise....

Interesting, didn't hear it. Surely someone heard it?

Heard it aswell..

Too be honest I think he stuffed up and was meant to mention that he was in the running for the dees job couple of years ago.

Wouldn't read too much into it.

Maybe something to do with McCartney being in the running for the Bombers?

Dew was offered role as Roos' assistant and coach in waiting and knocked it back. Healy is confused or unable to explain himself.

Didn't hear it, but are you sure he wasn't using the past tense? Something like, "Then Healy piped in with the fleeting comment that, depending on contract discussions at Melbourne, he could have end up a Demon."

Healy is a trator, a moran and barely literate. 'Nuff said.

I'm sure I got the gist and tense correct LDvC, but as others said, Healy may well have ballsed it up.

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you irony.

Literate is right Hmmmm.........

Or did he mean that if Goodwin is ineligible to coach because of the Essedrug affair outcome, then Dew could be a replacement? Or maybe Ive got that completely wrong as well?

he would have to be charged to be ineligible then wouldn't he?

Oh my god, you made me spit beer out of my nose! Lol!

best to keep away from those morans. bad family that lot

(unless he meant meringues )

Probably meant to say "He could have ended up a Demon." Was our first choice, but the Swans were unwilling to let him go. Nothing to see here.

Robert Walls hasn't done us any favours in retaining McCartney after the snow job he did on Worsfold in today's Age.

Mind you, I think he is right about his evaluation.

SIMON Goodwin has come third in the AFLCA assistant coach of the year, behind St Kilda duo Adam Kingsley and Danny Sexton.

Appreciate the link but what does it all mean. Who decides the winner?

Clarko still can't win coach of the year.

Did Bruce Reid hand back his lifetime achievement award?
