Coaching contract discussions?

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!

    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.

    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."

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

    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?

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

    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 :huh: )

    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?

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The winds finally returned to Casey Fields for the Demons’ third home game of the VFL season, and its impact was immediate. After two opening rounds played in uncharacteristically fine conditions, the Anzac Day clash brought back the familiar gusty conditions that have been a feature of the region at this time of the year.
      Forced to kick into the breeze first, the slow-starting Demons faced a tricky opening against an enthusiastic young Tigers outfit. Casey responded by turning the contest into a scramble, pressuring Richmond into errors and missed targets. The tactic proved crucial, keeping the game tight for three and a half quarters before the Demons pulled away with the autumn wind at their backs.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      It seemed as if the whole purpose of the Anzac Eve clash at the MCG between the Demons and the Tigers was building toward that single, unforgettable moment when Kozzie Pickett soared above Campbell Gray and all but fittingly etched his name onto the face of the 2026 Frank ‘Checker’ Hughes Medal.
