I know it's not really the time while we embark on a finals campaign but Mark Stone has left freo immediately. Was our stoppage coach from 2003-2007 also spent time at the swans before moving to freo. Would we be interested?

Would hope as a matter of course the Club would do its due diligence.

Not only does the playing list need a refresh / refit so too does the coaching panel.

He was held in high regard at the Club before moving to Sydney and Fremantle and lets face it both those Clubs stoppage work has been very good in the time he has been with the respective Clubs.

I am not sure why he left in the first place so I cant comment on if there is any bad blood or sour history.

2003-2007 was when our mids were awesome... So why not! Fremantles mid setups have been top notch in the time he has been there also.
 
As others have said, the Eagles would be foolish not to speak with him.
Opposition/Midfield and Stoppages - 2002 to 2007 - Eagles
Stoppage Coach - 2007 to 2011 - Swans
Stoppage and Assistant Midfield/Forwards Coach 2011 to 2017 - Freo
Believe he left us for a change of environment, plus his from the east coast originally. Believe he is pretty settled in WA, but you go where the work is.
 
With the young coaching group we have his experience alone would be beneficial. Then there's the fact he seems to specialize in our current greatest weakness hopefully he's with us next year

Would love to get him back. Our midfield went backwards after his departure. Although with having Mitch onboard who I presume will coach the midfield, is there room for both. We do need a strategist though so maybe Stone can fill that role?

He is more about stoppages/structures and strategy ala Pyke.
