  is possibly back on the trade table, but doesn't link him to any specific clubs

 

[Jeffcrowe]

That's interesting.

That might be our Senior Assistant - not Dew.

Disappointing but glad to get SOMEONE.

Doubt he’d be senior assistant

 

[Cromulant]

I know he’s been head of that department for 8 years and overseen some good player growth, but a development coach as a senior assistant would be VERY disappointing, for mine

Hope it’s to replace Bello

Bello was said to be exploring a move back to Victoria.

Adelaide relevant bits

HOT DEMAND FOR SUNS PICK​

Carlton, Collingwood, North Melbourne and Melbourne are among the clubs with interest in the Suns' second first-round pick for this year, with Greater Western Sydney and Adelaide also among the clubs expected to look at the pick.

GIANT DOMINOES TO FALL​

But there is more on GWS' plate, with Adelaide aiming for a Giant double act as they court midfielder James Peatling.

The Crows have already secured GWS unrestricted free agent Isaac Cumming

and met with Peatling in Adelaide last week as the hotly pursued on-baller decides his future.
Peatling and Cumming, both Academy products at the Giants, have a tight relationship, while Peatling also came through the Murray Bushrangers under-18 program with Crows defender Nick Murray.

Peatling has attracted interest from six rival clubs – Adelaide, St Kilda, West Coast, Collingwood, Melbourne and the Western Bulldogs – as well as having an upped three-year offer on the table from the Giants, though there is an understanding it may have to be longer to retain him given the rival interest.

 

[Mutineer]

Doubt he’d be senior assistant

And not as good as Andy Collins who we should be throwing the big bucks the way of, great on 2 levels, player development and coaching development.

 

[Danger in Texas]

Bello was said to be exploring a move back to Victoria.

Yeah exactly, that’s how this Borlace rumour adds up

Given Bris’ track record of development over the Fagan years, would be a clear upgrade, too

 

[Hodgy]

Last thing we need is a WING .....last thing we would be doing is using #12 on a wingman

A mobile Ruck trumps a Wingmen ....particularly when there are plenty on our list already

If you don't think we look at List needs / balance .....then you're naive

Can’t agree with that.
Gulden way more important than Grundy.
McCluggage way more important than Oscar.
Kelly and Callahan are way more important than Briggs.
Max Holmes way more important than Stanley.
Burgoyne and Drew are way more important than whoever happens to get their rucking gig.

That’s the top 6 sides this year.

 

[Mutineer]

Yeah exactly, that’s how this Borlace rumour adds up

Given Bris’ track record of development over the Fagan years, would be a clear upgrade, too

Development's been good but Dom Ambrogio is the main man behind their success.

 

[Cromulant]

Development's been good but Dom Ambrogio is the main man behind their success.

Hopefully Scott has learned a few things then.

 

[jackster83]

I know he’s been head of that department for 8 years and overseen some good player growth, but a development coach as a senior assistant would be VERY disappointing, for mine

Hope it’s to replace Bello

Or to replace Godden.

 

[jenny61_99]

Did rowey just say we are after Scott Borlase ex Norwood ? Development coach at Brisbane .
jenny61_99 was this the name you heard ?

As senior assistant coach? No I wouldn’t think so. But it is the right club.

 

[Danger in Texas]

Development's been good but Dom Ambrogio is the main man behind their success.

Yes, been a steady, quality, balanced list build

 

[Danger in Texas]

As senior assistant coach? No I wouldn’t think so. But it is the right club.

So Dew

 

[crow2crow]

As senior assistant coach? No I wouldn’t think so. But it is the right club.

im assuming its dew then?

 

[Peter Doherty]

As senior assistant coach? No I wouldn’t think so. But it is the right club.

We're Dew for a rumour in here to actually land.

 

[Trigger13]

Dew to port more likely.

 

[Amacca 23]

Yes, been a steady, quality, balanced list build

Dale morris or cam bruce im guessing

On SM-G996B using BigFooty.com mobile app

 

[Eddie Murphy]

Surely there would be better players than Dodson there at 12?

Haven't we just learned again how irrelevant rucks are for a successful club?

Would rather draft Joe Berry and cheaply target Knobel or Heath to be honest. Only issue in that scenario is list spots.

 

[latinoheat]

As senior assistant coach? No I wouldn’t think so. But it is the right club.

I think more in the development role

 

[Danger in Texas]

Dew to port more likely.

Do they need a senior assistant with Carr there?

 

[Cromulant]

So Dew

Sounds like it.

Would be nice to hear something soon. BnF this week, you'd think we would get some good news out in the lead up.

 

[Cromulant]

Dew to port more likely.

Like Cumming ??

 

[Trigger13]

Do they need a senior assistant with Carr there?

I think Carr is assembling his team. Which might include Francou too

 

[crow2crow]

Would rather draft Joe Berry and cheaply target Knobel or Heath to be honest. Only issue in that scenario is list spots.

12 is projected to 16 on the night

 

[Trigger13]

Like Cumming ??

Can’t win em all.

 

[George Kramer]

Of course

Was it them? Have they said anything today?

Sorry, no idea, just threw up another sports team
