Cox is in. I don't know what you have against Big Dean but according to people like David King, Carey, Matthews and co he has a pretty good footy brain. Very good on strategy. He is also a successful player from a successful club.

I changed my mind. It's my prerogative as a woman.
I'm very happy with the Big Cox.
His appointment has pissed off a few Wet Coke Budgie fans.
Gotta be happy with that.

Oh, I don't really have anything against the West Coast fans. I mean, if a player stays for so long at one club, then the fans develop a certain feeling of ownership. So it must be difficult for them, having their Cox removed.

Dean Cox is a Swans' legend. Remember that he made that final kick that won us the 2005 Premiership. Coxy, You Star!

Assistant ruck whisperer?

Ah yes, the luminaries of the commentators team.

Like "I'll get my hat and coat".

A sad loss to the team, he's been wonderful.

Taubert retires. The timing is interesting, wonder whether that means Cox will become the ruck coach after all.

He'd be the obvious choice and was obviously recruited in the wake of Taubert's impending retirement. The club would have been told weeks ago you'd think, keeping it quiet until they'd secured Taubert's replacement in Big Cox.

Have a great retirement Steve.

But wasn't Cox meant to be a replacement for Dew? So we're still one assistant short from the 2017 group.

Oops, maybe you're right.... I did read somewhere that he's considered to be good on 'strategy'.

He will replace Dew and work on aspects of the midfield including ruckmen
