or maybe he would back himself in to get the best out of him

imagine Motlop on fire and Ainsworth in our forward line crumbing around our talls

You would think of the assistants that Primus is safe - was Dew's premiership captain in 2004

Another left field assistant he may bring in is Josh Carr - former Port assistant who has been coaching bottom of the ladder SANFL team North Adelaide - may want to get him before he gets the bullet from that job?

Mark Williams any chance as senior mentor?

 

[OB11]

In no particular order:
Has a brilliant footy brain
Has kept his head down and learned his craft at The Swans and kept his powder dry for the right opportunity
Is young and has proven track record dealing with developing young players which we need desperately
Knows how to win a premiership
Is gold under pressure, see 2008 GF
Has seen the next best footy dynasty after Hawthorn build and maintain their supremacy at The Swans
Has worked in a non Vic footy environment
Has been in a game plan that is all about accountability, toughness, 4 quarters of effort and blue collar work ethic and .........
.........clearly loves his KFC

You had me at KFC

GM of footy should be a new guy. Let's see what Clayton can muster this trade period.

How good would it be if at the end of the press conference tomorrow the Coch get up and say oh yeah one more thing, out comes Lynch to announce he's re-committed till the end of 2019

yep that came through to me earlier tonight too, he is a cracking bloke Matty but unsure of him as a coach - they have history though

Dew can re-program him to coach how they do it at a good club

Fair Call - still don't think we can have both Hall and Motlop in a Sydney Swans team.

You didn't say you were replying to yourself ...lol
Ainsworth is clearly a Dew (Sydney) type player . Motlop no way......

Motlop cut the swans to pieces in the elimination final. I'm sure Dew is well aware of his pace and run.

Good Point ..... but his consistency is a problem.
My views are based on witnessing a horrendous game from him at Etihad last year against St Kilda - he's known for those types of games - so maybe I need to give him more credit for possible improvement ?

So the Suns have continued their non-Victorian coaching trend:

Guy McKenna (WA) - 2009-2014
Rodney Eade (TAS) - 2015-2017
Dean Solomon (NSW) - 2017
Stuart Dew (SA) - 2018-

Guess we hate Vics... Know I do ....

 

[Brenton87]

I'm so happy Dew has been appointed. Faith has been temporarily restored. Go Suns!!

Probably worth noting the only other guy that has actually been publicly offered the senior coaching role was Michael Voss back in 2008 and he's a Queenslander.

 

[Simba Moyo]

Huge coup getting Dew, well done Suns. Hope to see both Queensland clubs making finals soon

I think you guys have picked up one of the best coaches in the country, I reckon you'll see a significant rise up the tables within 12 to 24 month's, he won't take any bullshit from players off the field and he's a genius on it. I'd love to have him at WCE ahead of Simpson.

 

[Experimental]

There were a heap of us on this board three years ago calling for Dew. Three years too late but I’m super glad he’s here.
