Sounds like a handy pick up. Smart player with an understanding of the swans gameplan.

We have also got in Stevens and Steele to add ideas to the gameplan. With input from Swans, Doggies and Giants, I think they are three of the smartest teams in the comp.

Cheers. So McGlynn will be developmental coach. Who was doing that before him?

There are a few at the moment. He might just be a new addition or someone internally might move into Sandy role?

Still waiting for the day Lenny comes home though

Hope he can coach better than he can play grand finals...

Let him go and learn from others and then bring all that knowledge back.

Happy with the McGlynn get. He has the likes of Billings, Steele, Stevens, Weller, Minch, Wright, Lonie, Sinc and Dunstan to work with as aggressive mid/fwd options.

If he can bring that Sydney IP with him that would be great.

Definitely a good player to bring in as an assistant coach. A true professional in terms of training and his attitude/work especially when he was dropped to the ressies this year was an example for our younger players.

I think he will be a good assistant.

I am waiting for that day when Harvey, Lenny and Frawley re-unite in some coaching capacity at Saints.

Why McGlynn? I would rather have seen X-Man get it. He has coached teams to premierships in the top end. Probably had more to offer than McGlynn.

Maybe X is happy up there with his family and friends?

I'd also love to see the X-Man back but happy to see him develop his own coaching. You see with coaches like Richo and Bevo, they all have coached their own successful teams before moving into Afl.

If we do pick him up, he might be a good option for the Sandy coach role.

Massive pass for me. Along with Xavier.

Luke Hodge if he ends up cooked next year.

Reckon we've got the makings of a team of thugs.

Chuck the war paint on and go for the throat.

Love the McGlynn pick up.

What's his role?

Also is it had he would get a game for us round1 if he put in a preseason

After his last year as a Pioneer, Ben wasn't drafted or even invited to train at an AFL club.

The coach of Box Hill at the time, Andy Collins, on the back of Richie Vandenberg's endorsement, invited Ben down to training.

Knows what it means to go through the 'system' & put in hard work - exactly what he needs in his new role at the Saints.

Good fella too..

Looks like a few clubs are after X-Man.

Let's see he and Lenny earn their stripes and come home as a Saints dream team.
