2017 AFL Season

[Dogwatcher]

This is going to be interesting. Whilst I still doubt the rumours, if Gold Coast poach Hinkley, Stuart Dew would be the favourite for the Port job

Or Bassett.

The Primus era scares me about Dew.

I reckon there might be a difference between Primus and Dew in that Dew has been away from the club and been involved in other coaching systems and management organisations (unlike: Primus Buckley, Voss, Leppitsch, Hird).

Moot point as I don't see Hinkley going anywhere, but I agree, Dew has been away from Alberton for a long time now, there's no mates club around him as there was with Primus.

Punters would be wise to keep abreast of who has and has not achieved the new level 4 coaching accreditation that is being highly regarded

COLLINGWOOD assistant Scott Burns has taken the next step towards becoming a senior coach, headlining the 2017 intake for the AFL's exclusive coaching accreditation course.

Burns, who has long been flagged as a senior coach in waiting, was one of six coaches accepted for the third year of the level four program, along with Sydney's Brett Kirk and Port Adelaide's Brendon Lade.

Leigh Tudor (North Melbourne), Dean Solomon (Gold Coast) and Steven King (Western Bulldogs) round out the successful candidates, reflecting an industry consensus on the next wave of senior coaches.

Interesting that that's the money follows as well ...

[Magellan]

Had a small interest bet on Stevie Nicks

And Lindsay Buckingham as assistant?

Probably just Rumours, but Don't Stop Thinkin' about Tomorrow.

[Dogwatcher]

Unless there's more to it, imho thats piss weak from Eade .. 3 games to go, be professional and see out your time.

Always thought he was overrated anyway though.

Just listening to Tony Cochrane discussing the change of coaches and there appears to be little love lost. Might not have been conducive to hanging around until the end of the season.

[Jim05]

Dusty has re-signed with Richmond apparently and will be announced in the next couple of days
