Interesting discussion about prospective coaches and whether they need to experience coaching apprenticeships at other clubs before returning home.
McPointy just seems a super smart character and looks to have the goods to coach but he has not experienced other programs. He has always seemed a clear communicator.
I have resolved my prejudice about Spike’s days at the Drugons. I was really impressed with his efforts at the Allies. He just seems smart, empathic and a terrific communicator. He also seemed to handle the in with the new, out with the old changes at the Giants.
As the most innovative Club in the comp we could, without shock, appoint the brothers as joint head coaches. It could work.
I reckon if Cox, who must be favourite, is lured back West we could look at the brothers.

Hayden McClean this morning on SEN was asked by Cornes who in the assistant coaches looks to be the next in line and he was glowing in his praise of Cox, whether it's with us or another club >
No but there are plenty here ready to push him off the cliff. You only have to read the better off without Buddy posts throughout last year to know how we roll around here.
Fortunately I don't think the people who make the decisions at club hold those views.No but there are plenty here ready to push him off the cliff. You only have to read the better off without Buddy posts throughout last year to know how we roll around here.
I think Pridham, in particular, just loves Longmire and I wouldn't be surprised if he viewed him as the most valuable person to have at your football club in the entire league - player, coach, or admin.

Everyone love’s John, although the discussion has been about who will replace him going forward .

I don't think anyone is going to be replacing John any time soon.
Gun Island ? Why bother ?

I just want to give Horse and the other coaches their dues for making the necessary adjustments at half-time and really getting the game going our way in the second half last night. Good coaching.

I get the sense Longmire won't be leaving his position until he personally feels he's had enough. When that is, no one knows but John. It would take something pretty drastic for him to get the sack.
Regardless of my thoughts about his coaching merits, I’d be astounded if he goes on after this contract is complete
It feels like the club is getting us ready for a transition to one of the assistants
Those rumours on Cox didn’t just leak randomly last year

I have long hoped the transition would see Longmire move into what was Charley Corporates job. But events moved on last year.
I have been a critic and the bloke has limitations (who doesn’t?) but he is a heart and soul person and loved in the Club and respected across the broad footy community.
Last season I really enjoyed some half time vision of Don at the white board drawing and rattling though strategy and tactics with John standing by his side translating and reinforcing the messages. It was terrific.

I think we're past that already. He started with us 2002 (not sure whether that was post-season or not) so this is either his 22nd or 23rd season at the Swans.

Lighten up Bedders, it was a joke - and a pretty good one I might add
