he can have no complaints

sliding door moment when the Swans would not let Roos bring him to the Dees as his successor. We dodged a bullet there.

I think that's most unfair. Who knows how he would have gone if he'd come to the MFC? Different players, different recruiting set-up, different board, different supporters. For all we know (and we'll never know, of course), he might have coached us to three Premierships by now.

Wow surprised they did it now. Surely Hardwick is the target?

We should definitely see if any of the Suns players want to come home as a result of everything going on up there.

If only they had a young tall forward who could offer connection leads up the ground, is competent delivering inside 50, and a reasonable shot on goal with a bonus ability to roost it from outside 50.

Yes, although appointment of Hardwick may also have the effect of players wanting to stay under the “master coach”.

Unfortunately for Dew I think this had to happen.

Their list is choc full of talent but yet they're one of the most irrelevant club in thr competition.

They stand for nothing and I think Dimma will give them some edge and toughness about them on and off the field.

I dunno. All things considered I didn't think he he did a bad job in the last couple of seasons. Always losing players. Built a crazy good young midfield.

In two years, GC will be the best team in it.

i'd rather try and pinch one of their best mids - anderson would be ideal

i'd take lukosious over king, who is expected to sign an extension to take him thru to free agency

It was a set up from months ago imo. Hardwick left the tigers because he knew he had that job up there. He didn’t want to quit the tiges and go straight to GC. Tge whole thing smells. Dew missed his chance with us big time.

I’d assume they already have their coach all but signed. 

Dimma will enjoy the Gold Coast Sun.

Really. They haven't made finals with the list they have. They fold every year like a cheap suit. And they have plenty of AFL support and the resources to succeed.

No heart is a reflection on the coach. They've had their moments but they habitually disappoint every time they look like turning the corner.

And i reckon Simon Goodwin would turn them into a finals team if he had the chance.

Had a tough trot losing players over the journey but into year 6 and likely finals again is the bottom line.

They've got a plan in place, no doubt.

And you could say this about every sacked coach. 

In terms of supporters, if they had any they would have been on his case long ago.

    The premiership defender had his best year yet as he was given the opportunity to move into the midfield and made a good fist of it.

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
