No, he was doing a Maxie Walker and asking for his job back.

Is Eade still living in Sydney? What is he doing for a crust?

ive heard eade on abc radio commentating on friday nights and he writes for afl site and mercury newspaper and i dunno perhaps he is considering a comeback at hawthorn? :P

maybe as a coach next year?

[ugg]

He writes the match preview for the Herald, as well as an occasional column for The Age/Herald. He was also commentating for ABC radio on Sunday's match. I find his comments very insightful and he has a great understanding of the tactical moves that happen during a game.

[swansrule100]

he was a pretty handy coach

[dawson]

Eade was there independently.

As were Ball, Barry and Davis.
Ablett and Fosdike were there together - with one other who I didnt recognise.

Leo had crutches.

Yeah I saw Leo get dropped off at training this morning(I go past on the way to work, I am not stalking LOL )

He didn't look that great on crutches, but who knows, he is a tough boy.

Speaking of Fox Studios, living where I live, I go there a bit, and I notice I get a 10% discount everwhere when I where swans stuff - Swans players and staff get a discount all over Fox

And a Tassie boy

Really hope he coaches next year, probably will considering about 5 jobs will probably be up for grabs.

[swansrule100]

yeh makes him better being a tassie boy

yeh for sure fair few jobs up and hawks would be ideal for him

i think
adelaide, hawthorn, richmond at least will be looking.... perhaps carlton..(cos pagan is linked to richmond) and the bulldogs

any others?

[Go Swannies]

Port Adelaide (esp after this weekend )

[Rob-bloods]

Agree with Ugg

Eade writes a great analysis of a weekend game in the Saturday Age or is it Sunday, he was quite positive re the Swans vs Saints and gave a great tactical appraisal. His writings on tactics are some of the best I have ever seen. Similarly on the radio he explains things very well without the bulls't and bias.

Coach changes, Richmond, Hawks Adelaide and Port up for grabs IMO. Mark Harvey should get a guernsey this time perhaps, what about the other assistants around the traps, apart from
