It continues the Power\u2019s footy department overhaul in a new era including Carr replacing long-time coach Ken Hinkley and footy boss Chris Davies departing for Carlton.<\/p>\n
Dew is the latest addition to Carr\u2019s coaching staff alongside Luke Webster and Darren Reeves and new director of coaching Andy Collins.<\/p>\n
\u201cI couldn\u2019t be more excited to be heading back to my former club as a senior assistant coach,\u201d Dew said.<\/p>\n
\u201cTo work alongside my old teammate Josh Carr is a great opportunity, and one I am really looking forward to. I have great respect for Josh and his vision for the club moving forward, and the Port Adelaide playing list is full of talent.\u201d <\/p>\n

Dew becomes the first key figure to leave Brisbane just days after the club\u2019s second-straight grand final victory.<\/p>\n
The former Suns boss coached Gold Coast from 2018 to 2023 after working under John Longmire at Sydney.<\/p>\n
In other potential movement at the Lions, Callum Ah Chee is also expected to move to South Australia via the Crows, while Brandon Stacevich is weighing up an offer form West Coast and Deven Robertson has been linked to trade talk.<\/p>\n
Chris Fagan\u2019s side will power up in free agency though with the looming additions of Oscar Allen and Sam Draper.<\/p>\n

\u201cI would like to thank the Brisbane Lions Football Club for the opportunity to be a part of such a successful era for the club,\u201d Dew added.<\/p>\n
\u201cFrom the moment I walked into the club, to winning the 2024 and 2025 premierships, it has been such a wonderful experience.<\/p>\n
\u201cI will miss the club, players and the people who created an environment that made it so easy to come into work every day.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn particular, I would like to thank Chris Fagan and Danny Daly for their support as I move to a new challenge at the Port Adelaide Football Club. I will be forever grateful for the experience, and the club is in great hands.\u201d<\/p>\n
Lions head of football Danny Daly thanked Dew for his contributions.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhile you never want to lose great people like \u2018Dewy\u2019 and an assistant coach with his invaluable experience, we fully understand his decision,\u201d Daly said.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn his two seasons with the club, \u2018Dewy\u2019 was a vital part in our premiership success and became a much-loved staff member.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOn behalf of everyone at the Brisbane Lions we would like to thank Dewy and his family for their contribution and wish them all the best.\u201d<\/p>\n
