Mr East said the club's board of directors met last night and "determined that Stuart Dew would not continue in his role as Senior Coach". After 17 rounds, the Gold Coast side is in 13th spot on the ladder, a game and a half plus percentage out of the top eight."Stuart has made a significant contribution to this football club, dedicating countless hours towards helping establish a platform from which our club can grow," Mr East said.Steven King, who coached the midfield group under Dew, has been appointed interim coach.
Recent big losses against Carlton and Collingwood had ramped up the pressure on the Suns coach, particularly given reports that former Richmond mentor Damien Hardwick — who resigned at Punt Road earlier this season — was interested in coaching again in future.
