CEO Mark Evans, five days ago:

"I've said time and time again, Stuey's our coach, contracted for this year and next year.

"(If he) does a good job, he'll be contracted well into the future.

“All I can say is that he's got my support to get on with the job, manage our players and staff as well as we can.”

The infamous “total support”

Caroline Wilson will be pretty chuffed with herself today I reckon

“Full support of the board” generally gives you about two weeks

 

[Stottzy]

Evans not too far behind him. He has had a mare this last week.

Looking forward to her gloating tonight on footy classified.

She’s just a mouthpiece for the afl and backroom club officials.

 

[Red Black and Blue]

Terrible call. The list aint ready for finals.

 

[GoEaglesGoSGIO]

Any chance this is the beginning of the club being wound up? In reality someone has to go to make way for Tasmania and out of the 2 of GWS and Gold Coast, Gold Coast makes the most sense in the long term

 

[nut]

What a shit club ….

 

[Anja_Nees]

But the NEXT coach will get us there. Just wait and see guys.

If they appoint Hardwick on a five year deal you’d think the AFL is invested.

If they appoint some random assistant on a “three year deal” that they can in reality terminate at any point then it’s a pretty good sign they’re not long for this world.

 

[Slats]

Caro strikes again.

 

[Yellow Feathers]

30% winning percentage. Bye Dew.

 

[rye]

was given significantly longer than most coaches get to achieve results. the expectation for the last 2 seasons would have been to make finals, and it looks like they are going to fall short once again. do not think this is a carlton or north premature sacking looking for a sugar hit / messiah coach

seems like a good bloke but footy is a results industry

 

[BomberManU]

Appalling that the club would gob off to Caro before telling Dew. Business as usual, I guess.

 

[Redline]

Terrible call. The list aint ready for finals.

It's his 6th year, he is on 500k+ a year. He needed to find a way to play finals to keep his job especially when there are other good candidates around.

I feel sorry for him but he got a better run at it than most.

 

[a_fighting_fury]

Unfortunately the writing was on the wall months ago, that damn club has been a poisoned chalice and a coach killer.

 

[voorhees]

was always a dead man walking with Dimma breathing behind his neck. feel for him..

 

[Darksidepoints]

Dimma will now have a year round tan.

 

[projectv]

Doesn't make much sense to pull the pin now, unless they already have someone lined up.

Beat the Saints this weekend and they're 2 points out of the 8. Still very much in contention.

 

[HirdsTheWord]

why the f would hardwick want to go there

if he was burned out at Richmond, how is he supposed to take on the challenge of turning that shit hole around?

Spot on. Would 6 years of no finals be tolerated at any other club? If anything I’d say the suns were overly patient with him.

The AFL sacked Dew, not the club though

 

[kreglze]

Nice bloke and has done great off field, but on field he seemingly hasn't been up to it, has had a pretty good 6 year run to get us in the mix and we look like missing yet again.
