Sydney Swans assistant coach Stuart Dew says he will not be applying for the vacant Brisbane coaching job.
Dew, who has been linked with the Adelaide and Carlton coaching jobs over the past two years, told RSN radio he happy in his current role at the Swans.
โLast year there was a lot of talk about what I am doing and I donโt really want that talk while we are trying to win a premiership,โ the highly rated assistant coach told Radio Sport National.
โI came out pretty early to say I wonโt be applying and I will just be continuing my development.
โWhat I have learnt in these scenarios is that they will have preferred candidates and with my experience and where Iโm at Iโm very happy doing what I am doing.โ
โI think that given a lot of the talk that has been around in regards to who they are going after I donโt think my profile fits that.
โIโm not in a rush, Iโm only 37 and I donโt want to jump in too early.
โIf I see an opportunity that feels like a good fit I will certainly go at it flat out but it wasnโt the case on this occasion.โ
Dew s contracted to the Swans until the end of 2018.
Stuart Dew has just proven he is a very smart man.
