Breaking: Stuart Dew gone

[alpha33 277]

A weight off the Suns’ mind.

Caro was right then after all that

it was never in doubt

[dees189227 11,016]

So Caro was right after all and got slammed for it.

Surely this opens the door for dimma 

[ElDiablo14 3,450]

It was always meant to happen.

GC has been a very underachieving team during his tenure.

Cue Adem Yze is going to leave thread

[DistrACTION Jackson 6,562]

I'd say Hardwick is a shoe in.

AFL will pay him an absolute mountain of cash to go up there.

[BDA 20,623]

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.

[DistrACTION Jackson 6,562]

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

[YearOfTheDees 3,118]

Lucky St Kilda have won the draw. I do get sick of clubs backing their coach only to sack them a week later.

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.

Wheels in motion.

Welcome to the GC Damien Hardwick

[Jibroni 4,238]

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

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”.

You mean the one that was subbed out this week and is earning squillions!!

[dazzledavey36 49,334]

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.

[dee-tox 4,829]

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

[Wells 11 4,873]

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.

[layzie 29,758]

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.
