What would his role be other than another assistant coach?

He'd be a senior assistant is my understanding + look after the mids with Reeves assisting in that area

[Booney]

Carr - Senior
Collins - Director of Coaching
Goldsack - Defence
Reeves - Stoppage work, contest coaching, and opposition analysis

TBC :
Webster - Has been both forward and defensive line coach
Dew - I'd say midfield

And talking to Vozzo from Essendon for the GM job

Bartel has not accepted the GM of Footy role, family comes first.

Unless Port were offering huge coin why would he move
He’s got his media work in Melbourne and family all there

Why does anyone move? Professional development and a new challenge, that's why.

I get that but he’s had similar roles before
What would this role offer over and above previous roles?

With young kids seems a no brainer he’d stay in Melbourne

I'd think coin and family would pull rank.

Bartel has no shortage of Melbourne clubs chasing him if he doesn’t want to uproot his family

Different to what he was at GWS where he was Football Director on the clubs Board probably meeting monthly or quarterly - like Riccuito at Adelaide - not General Manager of Football which is a hands on day to day job so quite different.

Moot point anyway.

Port Adelaide has landed Brisbane assistant Stuart Dew as its new senior assistant coach.

A close friend & premiership teammate of new Power coach Josh Carr.

After 2023 Suns sacking, Dew was part-time with Lions in 2024 & forwards coach in 2025 flag

[Booney]

Carr - Senior
Dew - Senior Assistant
Collins - Director of Coaching
Goldsack - Forward
Webster - Defence
Reeves - Stoppage work, contest coaching, and opposition analysis

Now to put it together on field.

Can’t make a silk purse out of pigs ear

Got a couple of Ferraris (Butters and JHF) but the majority are 180Bs…

Butters, JHF, Rozee and Georgiades are as good if not better than every other side in the comps top 4 players.
Just falls away a fair bit after that and depth is usually always the difference between contending or not. The new coaching group at Port need to get half a dozen of their current B and C graders to lift a notch and who knows what can happen

That's why Collins was targeted, we need to develop the next layer up.

[Brodlach]

That’s a good coaching group

She'll mention you on instragram and how you and Port tried to destroy her family.

Ps. Next time being your own plate.
