She's got connections at the club and has often been ahead of the news.

Yeah fine, but piss poor by Richmond not letting candidates know first

Horrendous that Caro can find out before him.

We are in the box seat for McQualter.
StK have dropped out of the race.
WCE are putting together an offer for him but it's believed he doesn't want to leave Vic.
Dogs have made him a real good offer.

Has anyone heard any more on Dew?

We need 3 new assistants don't we?

I'd count that as a positive

2 isn't it?

Replacing Smith and Webb. We still have Lade and Spangher

isn't Spangher being moved into a development role?

[GVGjr]

I would have thought that would have been acknowledged by now if it was going to happen unless it's contingent on the availability of others. Spangher could be replacing Varcoe but I don't think it's happened yet.

Don’t know anything about McQualter. Same as all assistants to be honest… have no idea about them. He would tick the “experience from a successful system” box though. That’s a positive, on paper at least.

I heard Michael Barlow interviewed on the radio last week. He said that he has aspirations to be an AFL senior coach. He thought his first step would be best in a holistic role rather than an assistant coach role.

FWIW he would be an excellent pick up for us.

Barlow would be a solid addition to the coaching ranks and I wonder if it should initially be as a development coach.

If Dew was coming to us surely it would have been announced by now?

Chris Newman gone back to Richmond.

Chris Newman gone back to Richmond.

My understanding is he's moved in to Whitten Oval and is living in G's spare tent.

The domino's will fall quickly on coaching appointments after the GF, I'd imagine it's a challenge to squeeze in some more experienced coaches under the soft cap.

Ratten is there too, doing a spot of gardening.
I’ll believe Dew, Ratten, Barlow or McQualter when it happens. At the moment we have zip
