Maybe his 3 quarter time GF speech will be "DON'T THINK! DEWWW!"
I’ll settle for just an F speech

Would be a very very good get!

From the AFL Coaches Assc. Profile.
George Stone is Melbourne's midfield and strategy coach and is regarded as one of the AFL's most respected and experienced football mentors.
Stone, who was an integral part of Hawthorn's golden era in the 1980s and early 1990s, later became a key component in the Sydney Swans' drought-breaking premiership in 2005 under Paul Roos. He was also part of John Longmire's coaching panel for the Swans' 2012 flag.
In 2013, Stone was rewarded with the lifetime achievement award for his contribution to the game. He is also a life member of Hawthorn and the Sydney Swans.

This is Dew's first test as head coach of our club. Both Adelaide clubs think he wants to move to SA so it would be a big statement if Dew was able to meet with him and change his mind to sway him our way. Fingers crossed Dewy can get us off to a good start this trade period.

For me it's more a question of can Motlop impress Dew.
This, I don't want Aaron Hall mkII running around for us.

Motlops scoring accuracy is 20% higher than Halls
Yeah, Motlop is a way better footballer
I'm happy if Dew is happy he could be the catalyst for his change but i do get the impression his rise in form came with the pressure of being out of contract

So basically just like Aaron Hall
I hope not too hard
I think it would be risky and more likely to have downside, would prefer Gibson that just got delisted from North, played 130 games straight
Swallow is still a clearance beast @ 5 per match
Our weakness

I'm okay with Swallow for 3 reasons. Leadership, pressure on ball carrier excellent (ave 7 tackles a game) and clearance work still very good.

Need a couple of older heads with big bodies just for a year or two to let outlet young guys actually develop before making them full time mids. Players like Swallow would also provide great leadership. Really like the Bartel option to if he is keen to stay on as an assistant
