Good for him. I think that he's wanted to go into coaching for a while. Though it's a bit of a shame that we couldn't offer him a role at the Swans, but with all the quality people already in coaching and development roles at the club, it's hard to see where he would have fitted in. Actually, one of my major causes of optimism for next season, is that we seem to have such an excellent array of behind the scenes talent. -
So pleased for my best boy. It his wish to coach, and he will be good at it. He understands disappointment. He understands the value of bloody hard work.
Wish him all the very best.
Bonus, he is going to a club I don't actively dislike. Like Cwood.If you've never jumped from one couch to the other to save yourself from lava then you didn't have a childhoodComment

I'm really pleased for him. Hopefully he makes it back to Sydney one day after he's served his apprenticeship.Today's a draft of your epitaphComment

Shocked.
Of all the people on our list I didn't expect it to be McGlynn. When I read the headline, I thought it was Teddy.The eternal connundrum "what happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object" was finally solved when David Hasselhoff punched himself in the face.Comment

Yes, it's an interesting point that. Since head coaches, to varying degrees, all have differing personalities, there would be differences in coaching styles. How much I don't know? But there would be differences in game plans, differences in the personalities of the people hired by the coach, different communication styles and maybe different opinions on what statistics and technologies are important. So, yes, it would be useful, if an aspiring head coach went to another club or two.
But in this case, it would be only useful to the Swans, if Benny came back to us. Which begs another interesting question: I wonder if there has been any cases of clubs saying something along the lines of, "Well, we can't fit you in at the moment, but there will be a job next year, so go to that other club, find out all you can and get back to us."?
Not totally outside the realms of possibility.Comment

Rising execs at Holden would be told they needed to leave and work somewhere else, like Ford, before they could rise further up the ladder. To learn you need to see how others do it.
Ben told me earlier this year that he had done his degree in sports science to move into coaching "eventually". I'm glad he's got his start - go Benny. BTW how's Paul Williams going in coaching? At Port?Comment

I imagine Kirk's decision to spend a couple of years at Freo (albeit under a senior coach he had already worked under at Sydney) was a deliberate move to gain some experience in another organisation, before returning home to the fold.Comment

There are only just so many coaching jobs in the whole game, its not like we have any room at present! And if Benny is valued enough to be picked up by StKilda, whose coach I don't mind at all, then good. Its not like he's playing for another club. And he has to have a job. Why not?
I can't wait to see him in a coaching huddle. Or actually not see him...... or instructing the ruckman ..... its all going to be delicious.If you've never jumped from one couch to the other to save yourself from lava then you didn't have a childhoodComment

- RWO Forum Rules (PLEASE READ FIRST)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Your posts may be deleted, without warning or notification at moderator discretion, for breach of any of the RWO rules set out below. If you have any questions or concerns about post/thread removal, please feel free to PM a moderator or Email us at [email protected]
Do not post your queries on the main boards. Such posts WILL be removed, without further explanation.
Constant breaches of the rules will result in your access to RWO being reduced as the Moderator / Administrator group see fit. RWO uses the vBulletin Infraction System to deal with breaches of the RWO rules. All Infractions have an expiry date. Such an expiry date may be as short as 10 days or as long as 6 months. Multiple infractions, depending on the number of points a member accumulates, WILL result in temporary bans from the site and CAN result in a permanent ban. Please note that some Infractions have an expiry date of "Never" and WILL result in the RWO member being banned from the site immediately.
1) Signatures / Avatars
Keep signatures under 4 lines of standard sized fonts (if you must use large fonts, use just one line) as a courtesy to all users who read the forums.
Do not use signatures / avatars as an opportunity to make jibes at other forum members. This will be considered to be sniping (refer Rule 6 below). You may not refer to another RWO forum member, or quote anything they have written, without permission from that member. Using an anonymous tag does not make it acceptable. If quotes are not removed, we reserve the right to remove them, without notification. If in doubt as to whether something is acceptable or not, don't use it!
2) Spamming
Advertising for personal commercial purposes is NOT permitted. Placing links to sites that other users may find of interest / personal websites is acceptable within reason (ie constantly posting links will be frowned upon).
3) Deliberately avoiding the RWO swear filter
RWO is a site that is accessible by Swans supporters of all ages and walks of life. A swear filter is in place to mask offensive words and phrases. This swear filter contains offensive words and variant spellings of offensive words to stop you from deliberately avoiding the swear filter. Do not attempt to avoid the swear filter through alternate spelling of offensive words. Do not attempt to avoid the swear filter by devising systems to fool the swear filter in its recognition of offensive words.
4) Inappropriate Language / Excessive swearing
RWO is a site that is accessible by Swans supporters of all ages and walks of life. Moderators will let some minor cases through. Anything deemed to be of poor taste or of an offensive nature may be removed at moderator discretion. Consider all members when posting; what you think is funny, not all members will feel the same way.
5) Trolling / Baiting
Deliberately posting on threads in an attempt to stir / bait other RWO users will not be tolerated.
6) Flaming / Sniping / Abuse / Insulting other members
If you have to have a go at someone personally, take it off the boards. Everyone else doesn't need to see your hissy fits. Remember, "Play the ball, not the man". This includes spouses or partners. If you don''t like a post, don't flame, snipe, abuse or insult in response - it makes the job of moderation much harder. Report the post through the forum reporting mechanism (click on the Triangle with the exclamation mark) and let the Moderator / Administrator group deal with it.
7) Legal issuesa) The Moderator / Administrator group will keep a very close eye on threads discussing rumours or anything that could be potentially libellous. Moderators and Administrators are not interested in the chance of legal action regardless of how small - if deemed that there is ANY threat to RWO potentially, we will come down hard on it.
b) Due to potential issues of copyright infringement and the potential legal implications, posting of complete articles is NOT permitted. If necessary, post a link to the article. Where appropriate, you may quote sections of the article to aid in discussion.
c) Due to potential issues of copyright infringement and potential legal implications, posting of links to "live streaming (of AFL games)" and "AFL content" sites that are not AFL endorsed is NOT permitted. Posts with such links will be removed immediately and infraction points will be issued.
d) Freedom of speech does NOT = freedom to slander
8) Racial / Sexual Discrimination / Villification
It is not acceptable for members to engage in racial and/or sexual discrimination / villification. It is not acceptable for members to use terminology in describing race or gender in a derogatory manner. Discussing and disputing the views and opinions of other posters is acceptable. Personally vilifying or abusing others for having certain characteristics, or being a member of a certain group (or because you think they're a member of a certain group), is not. This rule shall apply to any post attacking race, skin colour, ethnic background, gender and sexuality.

9) Prohibited
Anything deemed to be of Adult content or porn related nature will be removed immediately. Selling or offering of drugs, drug references, other than those openly discussed and identified in the press, will also be removed immediately. Breaches of this rule carry the highest infraction points and may result in permanent bans on a first offence.
10) Off-topic Posts
Some members prefer to just read Swans or footy related posts. This is, after all, a SSFC website. Ensure you post threads in the appropriate forum, or they will be moved. While threads will sometimes move away from the original topic, do not deliberately drag a thread away from its original subject.
11) Attachments
Attachments within the size limit prescribed are permitted. However, due to costs associated with uploads/downloads, if you wish to attach a number of files within a thread, or feel that the quality of the attachment is compromised by the file size restrictions, you may wish to use external hosting providers and link to the files there.
12) Moderator / Administrator Group
The Moderator / Administrator group reserve the right to delete or move threads / posts as well as remove signatures / avatars as necessary according to the rules of the RWO forum.
13) Final decisions
