    love that Mcveigh has taken over the VFL side coaching. Quality coach of young players. The timing is right for Dean Cox. Really hated the fact that Longmire refused to talk about GF day. At least Cox was prepared to talk to the Swans supporters about that horrible day.
    Yes, it was interesting that Cox stressed how poor the defensive effort was. Perhaps that might see a slight tweaking of the game style, with a bit more emphasis on inside combativeness, and maybe a preference for selecting players who are noted for their contested work, like Sheldrick, Adams and Cleary, rather than outside runners. Obviously you need both types of player, but I think there's a reasonable chance that there will be a change of balance.

    It'll be interesting to see how Jarrad goes. The VFL side often seemed a bit uncoordinated during Truslove's tenure, but there could have been extenuating circumstances, mainly having a different side run out nearly every week, due to injuries and trialling new players.
    So it seems to be a challenge for Jarrad, but I've generally found him quite impressive when being interviewed, so I suspect he might be up to it. And who knows, a successful season or two, might have him being talked about as a future AFL coach.

    The Swans were the best fourth quarter team in the league.

    One vacancy confirmed filled: Shane Lehane has been appointed as the club’s Head of Athletic Performance to take over the role vacated by Rob Inness. Lehane has been at the Sydney Swans for the past four seasons working with Inness, so I assume that bodes well for a continuation of the fitness standards that were achieved for the last season.
    Sounds like a logical move Meg- our lads were certainly fit and we enjoyed a relatively low injury season. We had Paps and JMac out towards the point end but otherwise our record was very good. Mills and Parks were unfortunate and not fitness related.

    And now trade shenanigans have started, we can add Chris Keane as Sydney Swans list manager. Keane has done an ‘interview ’ with Cal Twomey today. Which tells us nothing really …. Lol.

    Hard to find up-to-date info.

    I also left out:

    Brett Kirk Head of Player Development and Wellbeing? (if that title is correct, he must be a busy man at the moment ….)

    Leon Cameron Executive General Manager, Football (admin role but obviously has recent coaching experience)

    Pretty sure Spike McVeigh was backline coach and Matthews the mids with Cox stoppages. Be interesting to see who takes over from forwards coach. Big shoes to fill after team being league’s most prolific scorers.

    Yeah, that was just gallows humour on my part, pretending the half-hearted jogging aimlessly might have been a fitness deficit ….

    Don't think Truslove will be much of a loss if he does leave as planned. I think the reserves the last couple of years in general have been awful.

    Inness is a big loss. Don't think Saturday was a fitness issue (injuries aside of course), despite the apparent lack of pressure. More a mental conditioning issue.
