Good luck to the Norwood Swans!

Bob Hammond played for North Adelaide and a few games for Norwood. He coached Norwood but I would think his allegiance is firmly with North. He was Chairman of the Crows during their successful era and was until 2011 an AFL Commissioner. He is also a very successful businessman who, with partners, started IGA.

He is a Kilburn boy and would be a North man through and through, no matter who he coached.

Barassi had minimal involvement with the Swans in comparison with Melbourne, Carlton & North ... but I've read & seen in interviews that he has a huge soft spot for the Swans ...

Cousins similarly with Richmond, despite a much longer time at WC.

Barry Hall is on record as saying the Bull Dogs is his team despite much longer (& more successful) stints with the Saints & Swans.
