Well thought of, so will be a loss. Opens the door for Sel. Or if someone with experience is preferred, wouldn't object to Dew. Wasn't a success as Head Coach but was highly regarded as an assistant. In that respect similar to Bolton.

Don't think he has much to be concerned about. Doubt Shaun is Head Coach material just yet. And Hardwick has a 6 year deal at a tidy sum, coaching or not.Bad news for Dumma.
Just goes to show coaching contracts are worthless in the AFL. A coach can be sacked and a coach can sack the club and move on.Gold Coast has pulled off the assistant coach coup of the off-season so far, luring contracted Geelong assistant Shaun Grigg to the Suns.
Grigg, who had a deal in place until the end of 2024 at GMHBA Stadium, has agreed to join Damien Hardwick as a senior assistant coach.
As reported by Sam Edmund, Hardwick and the Suns targeted Grigg several weeks ago, but it was only on Monday that the premiership Tiger confirmed his desire to link up with his former mentor in Queensland.
It’s understood Grigg loved his time at Geelong, where he has been since late 2019.
Hardwick poaches Geelong assistant in major coaching coup

One thing I noticed about Joel... I am not sure a TV career is his calling unless he receives hypnosis therapy to stop prefacing every sentence with "I mean"!Don’t think Joel will be taking on a coaching role next year ….. as an assistant.
Heard him speak recently and he’s enjoying time away from 24/7 AFL life, and taking on different projects.
More likely to be Enright they try and get back I think.

Walter is 18… will need at least 3 years to be a force to be reckoned with id say.Well they do have Walter coming via the draft.
Him and King will be a formidable duo for a decade.
So we pay his salary and get pick 4 right?Nah just give us pick 4 as compo, not need to give them our 7.

I'm not big on bringing him back immediately. He basically just got to St Kilda.Id prefer joel corey but yes enright would also be good.
Just goes to show coaching contracts are worthless in the AFL. A coach can be sacked and a coach can sack the club and move on.
There will be plenty of big fish out there to lure, e.g., Steven King?
Stevie J, Varcoe, Enright, Corey, Selwood. Let's just get all the Geelong buys back.
If history tells us one thing, it's that boys' clubs generate success, and that past club champions equate to gun coaching staff.
We won a flag after clearing out Scarlett and Enright as coaches. Our last two flag coaches have not been former Geelong players. Besides the romance, familiarity and seeming convenience, we shouldn't want to favour previous Geelong players. Look for the best available and bring them in. Ideally, look at the top sides and try to poach from them, either from the coaching ranks or from the recently departed players stepping into coaching.

Might happen.Would've liked him if/when Scotty decided to pull the pin.
Dimma has a 6 year deal, he'll be waiting for a while.
Maybe we get Grigga back as senior coach?
I'm okay with it if they've done an apprenticeship elsewhere. Grown as a person, picked up some new ideas, and seen how other clubs operate.Stevie J, Varcoe, Enright, Corey, Selwood. Let's just get all the Geelong buys back.

Yeah, you only work 60-70 hours a week. Easy!Biggest racket- merry go round on fantastic money - is the Assistant Coaches mob
I can remember Bomber Thompson - he was honest enough to say when he left Geel - look im burnt out - but i still need cash flow (to service that Armstrong Creek development ) what can i do - i will become an assistant coach - no pressure - and a great pay packet
As the late Kenny Judge said - and he was an assistant coach and he was a senior coach at 2 clubs - he said - Assistant coaches - all care but no responsibility
And with some of them - when the clubs get sick of them - they hitch up their caravan and take their troubles somewhere else - there is allways a mate at some other club who will give you a fantastic pay packet
I'd rather 60-70 hours a week as an assistant coach than 60-70 hours a week in most other industries, where do I sign up?Yeah, you only work 60-70 hours a week. Easy!
In most industries people don’t work those hours.I'd rather 60-70 hours a week as an assistant coach than 60-70 hours a week in most other industries, where do I sign up?
