Assistant Coaches

Re: Assistant Coaches

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.

Fair enough, I thought 10 sounded strange.

Tell me, you don't think he is the right bloke?

I wouldn't mind Brenton Sanderson as strategy manager

Re: Assistant Coaches

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

How would that fit in with Lade as the current 2IC?

Also, Bevo has stated he likes being up in the box, v. on the bench.

Hopefully Bevo is open to change in this regard, if they are to attract well-credentialed assistant coach.

Yes - because you can see the game from the box. You cannot see the game from the bench.

Watching Fagan in particular sit in the dugout and 'watch' the game is befuddling to me. How can you HELP the players if you are unable to see the things they can't.

Sorry but coaching from the bench is DUMB. 5-minutes here and there to help provide calm to a bench in chaos...yeah, for sure. For the whole game? DUMB.

Expect Dew in the RW&B next season. Deal is almost done.

I can't complain, to complement that move it'd be nice to see an assistant from a successful coaching setup (Melbourne & Collingwood as prime examples)

Is that for real ?

As I was told tonight, Dew already looking at houses around WO.

I wonder if Dew is still the senior assistant? Getting some coaching depth now.

Spoke to the folks at Pie Thief in Footscray. Told them to stock up. A big winter ahead.

Bevo and Dew two little tug boats pulling in the same direction.

Re: Assistant Coaches

My question on Stuart Dew. It is his weight.

AFL sporting clubs are elite athletic environments where players need to show discipline in all aspects of their life and importantly treat their bodies with respect. In an elite athletic environment do you respect someone who is obese?

If you can't have self control and disclipline in the most important thing in your life, your overall well being and health (without your own health, you can't help yourself, your family or anyone else) then why should I trust you with anything else?

Is that too harsh? Is that fair? Or is that an unreasonable view?

I don't think it matters at all. Who knows why he carries weight it could well be something out of his control.
If he's a good coach he's a good coach.

Of course there are professional standards to maintain, from what I understand this has never been an issue for Dew. I can only assume he wouldn't get very good references if that were the case.

I get that view but he's also done it all before, the work he did to get into that Hawks premiership team was incredible.
