Preview Next Gold Coast Suns coach - Stuart Dew.

[Toump Ass]

Before they hire a coach, I'd suggest attracting someone outside of AFL football to play on an inflated contract. Maybe a current NFL player, or someone who used to be on Home and Away.

At least then someone might give a s**t about the club.

Jarryd Hayne come on down.

Yeah nice

We will take that on board thanks

Gary Ablett Jr is $41 to be the next Suns coach on Sportsbet

 

[MCG-Unit]

Voted Simon Lloyd

My wish would be for Shaun Hart - not even on the list

Jake King could sort some of them out

 

[MickyG]

The applications have started pouring in (see the comments section):

[mikey_san]

Jock Reynolds.

Well bad news for those punters who put money on Scott becoming the next Gold Coast coach. He's about to sign an extension at North.

[Benaly28]

Peter Sumich or Brett Ratten.

 

[Blugazi]

Surely Caracella now...

 

[sonnywalters]

Apparently it will be Barker or Hinkley.

Both sh*t in my opinion.

Another GC disaster coming up.

 

[james Dean]

John Barker is a bemusing choice for sure. He's the stoppages coach of the worst clearance team in the league and during his spell as caretaker coach oversaw the greatest losing margin in the club's 120 year history.

But hey he did some coaching course so he must be good right?

 

[Betty_Blue76]

The odds have the wrong Scott brother.

Will be Chris and failing him Hinkley

Took over a team that was 1-7 and completely miserable and won 3 more games and started playing a far better style of footy moving the ball, scoring and defending more assertively. Yeah they got completely wiped by Hawthorn but I think some important groundwork was laid for Bolton and it was far better than when Mick was there.

And it's hard to win clearances with a below average tap ruckman, Gibbs not really wanting to be there, Murphy not exactly a clearance midfielder, Cripps injured and no other midfielders of any note.

Gold Coast need a coach who is up on modern day tactics, it's too hard to measure progress unless you have a style that is consistent for the players to play to. Whether he has the experience and man management to lead the club is an entire different question.

I really hope it is Lloyd as he is a significant point of difference but think that it will be Barker given the Carlton connection.

Think the race is down to three between Dew, Barker and Kingsley. I haven't really heard Lloyd being linked to the job. Wouldn't surprise me if Barker got it, I predicted he would get it when I started this thread.

Of your last three, I would prefer Kingsley even though my choice would be Lloyd if he was interested. However if it is one of your nominated three, then they need an experienced person from outside the Suns to come in with them Eg Neil Balme type position and person

Lloyd got appointed GM Football at Geelong a couple of weeks ago.

Probably out of the running.

Which coach would like to play Russian Roulette taking on this lot?

 

[Bazza97]

There are 3 candidates left for the coaching role and they are Barker, Dew and Burns. Kingsley and Sumich made the last 5 but are out of the running. Article here https://www.foxsports.com.au/afl/go...s/news-story/66ef5c08dca9dd93273303159561c94a

Cool. I was a bit worried Caracella might be keen.

None of them seem particularly convincing, to me. If that's who was available then you can see why some under pressure coaches survived.

 

[kreglze]

Caracella would have been a good call.

Of those 3, would swing towards Dew coming from a successful set up like the Swans.

 

[Aramis]

They might want to speed up the process, going to get nowhere in the trade period without a coach.
No players are going to want to go there either as the situation currently stands.

Hopefully it is sorted this week.
