Fresh off the grape vine Dean Laidley has signed with the power will be announced today or tomorrow morning.

Great appointment. Hope he works the same magic with us as he did with the 'Roos.













*Is that Dutchy that just walked in?*

Is that replacing Choco or working with Choco a la Peter middle of the Rohde.

Hope Choco has read this ... doubt the club has told him yet.

senior assistant coach

Dutchy, help me out here ... why would Laidley take this on other than if he was promised the senior job down the track?

He made much of the fact that the shinboners had little money so Port aren't going to tick that box for him.

As the late John Lennon said ... strange days indeed.

2 very strong personalities...
Could be interesting times ahead.....

I can see Laidley taking over the reins sometime in the year 2010.

Perhaps he is expected to have the role "Bucky" Cunningham embraced unofficially in 2004 - keeping the coach in touch with reality..

Will Laidley bring Gibson with him or will Hawthorn get their wish and lure their man....

Herald Sun report Laidley has been mentoring over the past three weeks...
