After not quite 1 full season in charge, for mine the jury is still out on TheDew.

But now gets his first crack at the off-season (the departures, the mature recruits, the new staff, the development program for the young players, plus some input in draftees).

And gets to reflect on being a senior AFL coach for the first time. Would hope he is better in year 2 at most parts of the job.

I was probably less fussed about match day selections this year than others. Some head scratchers, but with more say in the list and staff, would hope for some consistency and accountability.

Big task = turn Lemmens into a proper AFL footballer. You know, one with skills.

Yes Hart is moving roles from Head of development. Highly likely

Andrew Swallow might be some of that extra expenditure on player development they are talking about … he would've been a good get last year - but maybe budgets then didn't allow for it .?
Maybe he'll be able to assist at NEAFL level as a playing Development Coach ?
Been good for Aspley this year.

Bring him in I say! Continue to grow the family/local culture. I was pleased to read Drummond was keen to come to us because he 'wanted to come home'. The more people we can bring in that want to be here, the better.

It was put to the coaching group and only two coaches wanted him and apparently Stewie said no to getting Andrew, wasn't money he was coming for cheap

AFL throwing some sweet coin on top of their contracts?

 

[thurls64]

I think Don Pyke has done some real damage to the culture at The Crows - quite a few to jump ship staff and players and keen to do so straight away

Adelaide is peculiar, great following, great stadium, pretty successful, yet it seems a fair number of players and their staff it seems want to jump off.

Primus and Lovell out.

Drummond, Francou and Kaesler in.

If all goes through we are quickly becoming the Sydney Crows on the GC.
