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

Dimma will enjoy the Gold Coast Sun. 

AFL is a pretty grubby business so wouldnt be surprised if negotiations are well under way. Did tricky Gil and scruffy Dill know?

Chris Scott quote....".being an AFL senior coach is not a very good job"  Dew says HI.

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.

100%. Dew was in a very tough spot, trying to turn around a catastrophically poor club culture when any player who wanted to be professional had the ready option to move out of there without guilt because everyone knew the 'why' was legit.

I wonder if even a coach the quality of Paul Roos would be able to turn that around without already having the authority of a premiership to contain the gripers.

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.

Huh, we dodged a bullet?

Reading this forum, the jury is STILL out on Goodwin 🤷‍♂️


Brenton Sanderson MKII. Too close to the players. A mate first, coach second. 

Hard to know from the outside but I actually think they are improving and he's a bit unlucky.  Most developing sides struggle away from home but they have shown their best can mix it with the best (and they have lots of talent coming through).

Surely they want to pounce on hardwick after regretting not being in the race for Clarkson last year.

He'll need a break but if Dew is interested in being an assistant we should definitely look into it - surely we won't have the same coaching group next year.  His close relationship with many of the suns players wouldn't go astray either!

Melbourne Forwards Coach - Stuart Dew?

He might go alright

Only if he brings Ben King with him


As Whately said this morning  the Gold Coast is where national sporting teams go to die..

Will never be anything. Sad that they will just keep sucking cash out of the afl who won't admit a mistake.  They say it added viewers with extra games. 

I have never knowingly watched a sun's game on TV played up there. Even against the mighty Dee's.

Better than a ruckman who never played fwd....

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

Thatcalled the Messiah complex. Like when Barass came home.

Hardwick will only succeed with the likes of Gale Balme O'Neill etc around him.

Great coach but like all of them it's a whole package needed. 

In 21 we had yze chocco 

pert roffey who stayed the course with Goodwin. Plus the best skipper in 57 years. And a recruiting A Grader.

I wonder how Bailey Humphrey is feeling today? Signed on until the end of ‘28 just 5 weeks ago.

That was a strange decision.

St Kilda are next up to play Gold Coast. It might not be so lucky for them because often teams play better first up with a new coach.

That was my point. Coast now odds on to win in the betting. opened at $2.40 now $1.53. 

Really hope they get a dead cat bounce with the caretaker coach. Be nice if they finish above Freo. 

From a death Riding perspective this is good for us. the players won't want to look like they are the problem so will lift their game for the rest of the season.

Maybe he can say changed my mind like the Suns CEO has just done. 


Did they not re-sign him at the end of last season? Obvioulsy he'd have to get paid out. 

Then last week Mark Evans told him he was safe?

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.

Only if they get much fitter.

 

Really feel for Dew. I reckon he has built a solid culture in the past couple of years and the Suns overall effort and team play is better than it's ever been.  They are closer to finals than anytime in the past 10 years and are without their best player.

Aside from the Pies loss they have been solid all year and are finally getting young players signed up.  

I predict this move will cause more issues than it solves. The players will be furious. At least let the man coach the rest of the season

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
