That is what does worry me.

Re: Assistant Coaches

Just on Dew roles below he held at Sydney...

Dew joined the Swans at the end of the 2009 season and has held a number of coaching roles at the club, overseeing defence, development, stoppages, and most recently, senior assistant to John Longmire.

By all accounts one of the best assistant coaches. Longmire can't speak highly enough of him. Had a massive input game day at the Swans. Allowed Longmire to sit on the bench.

Re: Assistant Coaches

I think Dew’s potential for us is twofold
1. Another experienced voice of reason in the coaching box. Something we have needed for a while
2. Fan merch will now come in bigger sizes

Rumours circulating that we are into Dew.

Caro has no idea what's going on.

Re: Assistant Coaches

I would love Cameron and King back.

Do we really need more of Bevo?s mates at the club?

Re: Assistant Coaches

I like Dew if only because a bit of body diversity in AFL is a good thing. Other than Minson and Mumford (and Caleb of course) AFL players have significantly less body diversity than they used to and in a sport that can find roles for the tall and the short it’s nice to counter the prevailing narrative of thin at all costs (which is partly why anorexia is on the rise in boys). We should all take it easy on his size. The guy was a premiership player and was pretty big then too. It has nothing at all to do with his competence.

For real though I liked him as a coach. He’s be an excellent get for us. I figure from how quiet things have got on this front that Cameron said no again. That’s a shame. From how he seemed to coach at the Giants he’d be an excellent addition to a coaching panel that included Bevo and Dew.

Frankly I wish Sydney would complete the handover to Cox so we could install Longmire as an *air quotes* 'assistant' ...

That actually sounds perfect - Bevo on the bench, Dew in the box

Re: Assistant Coaches

Marc Webb returns to WA

Western Bulldogs assistant coach Marc Webb will depart the Club in the coming weeks, returning home to Perth for family reasons.

Webb has been part of the red, white and blue coaching setup for the past two seasons, joining initially as the midfield coach before transitioning into a specialist role in charge of stoppages and analysis.

The 44-year-old returns home to be reunited with his young family, supporting his wife Lisa, who has taken the reins as the Fremantle Dockers AFLW Head Coach.

Bulldogs? Executive Director of Football, Chris Grant thanked Webb for his contributions across two campaigns.

?Marc came to us with vast experience across a variety of roles in WA footy, with his professionalism and diligence a standout within our football department,? he said.

?He is a passionate football person, and we thank him for his tireless effort during his time at the Kennel.

?We wish Marc, Lisa, Ollie and Leo all the best for their next chapter in WA.?

Webb said he was eternally grateful for the opportunity given to him by the Western Bulldogs.

?I?ve loved my time at the Bulldogs and am extremely grateful to Luke Beveridge and Chris Grant for the opportunities provided to me in the past 24 months,? Webb said.

?The Club has been incredibly understanding towards my family situation and allowed me to focus my time and energy on this fantastic playing group.

?I look forward to watching the Club from afar into the future.?

I would prefer new ideas brought over from successful clubs.

Then why are you happy with us looking at Dew? He spent six years at Gold Coast who won at most ten games in his time in charge.

AFL footy has changed a lot in the past six years, is his Sydney experience still relevant?

Premiership player, assistant at Sydney to 2010 -2017 and of course Suns coach. I think he has good credentials.

BTW - won more than ten games - more like 40

Based on those dates he also would have been an assistant when the swans won the flag also.

Sorry, I meant ten games a year.
