The footy world watched on today as the Gold Coast Suns announced they would be parting ways with senior coach Stuart Dew, just six days after publicly backing him to lead the club.

Schofield took aim at senior figures off-field, questioning their ability to remain steadfast in the face of adversity, describing them as “devoid of any real leadership”.
