Coach Stuart Dew - Where is the scrutiny?

What is your guess on who GWS will take at pick 2 or who are they after?
No idea mate. Callaghan offers us something in the midfield department that we don’t currently have, so I’d be happy for him.
But if we trade down and increase our draft hand while getting Andrew, then that’d be a win.

He came in and the place was a shambles.

Got some good picks, then some draft concessions

Rhyce Shaw was a smart hire at the start of last year - by all accounts great with the young players and improving their development

It means next year it's essentially FINALS or bust
 
Stuart Dew - where is the KFC bucket?
 
A resounding success who has never made finals?
Given how low the club was when he came on. I think everyone at the Suns would be very encouraged with the trajectory.

The club was going backwards in 2017-2019. There is obviously still a long way to go, but between Evans and Dew, these guys have been central alongside a few key players in turning the place around.

Has definitely needed support along the way. He absolutely has flaws. Talk from those close to the club is that the guys that have come in to the football department and the assistant coaching ranks over the past 1-2 years have been really good for him and the club as a whole.
 
Sitting around the same mark as Port, I'd suggest the clubs Port and the Suns haven't delivered in 2022. The story may have been different if King didn't go down with injury.

My punt is although Dew remains as coach, I wouldn't rule out Clarko still coming to the Suns. If he doesn't, my punt is clarko heads up the roos as part of clarko's review of tassie.

I just don't get it. I don't understand why Dew was re-signed.

Who cares if the Gold Coast showed "improvement"? This is still Dew's 5th year at the club, and his 5th year of no finals, and that was already on top of 3 years of Rodney Eade rebuilding.
Then you have the assistant coach drama, paying Dean Soloman to leave during the pandemic, paying Will Brodie to leave only for him to become a very good midfielder for Fremantle, never playing Peter Wright when he was clearly a good player.

This Gold Coast Club just doesn't seem to have any standards.
 
Clarko wants to coach next year not mentor

He could coach north or gws then jump if tassie ever happens



warm weather is good for old people's knees

clarko goes north
 
Has he gotten fat again? I seem to remember he dropped a lot of weight a couple of years ago but he looks pretty chunky

should have been sacked years ago

Would be one of the faves to get the sack this year
Don’t even understand why Gold Coast resigned him in the first place tbh, especially when Clarko, Ross and the other Scott were some of the most well known former coaches that were out of the coaching ranks last year.

Sorry Gold Coast Suns Supporters, but your club is just so very irrelevant in the AFL - it’s not even funny.
