AFLW 2024 - Round 10 - Chat, game threads, injury lists, team lineups and more.
He pulled out of the West Coast Job very early, I would say the extra years was part of that.
Any MG's in the parking lot? This is the Portaloo's first give away. Jason's step Dad got a nice one so they say...Apparently David Koch already been spotted stalking Longmire and asking him his plans for 2026......
The selection of Dattoli struck me as a bit of an indicator.I'm hoping there was a disagreement between Horse and Cox on the number of talls we need to have in the forward line.
I was disappointed in that bit, because he said he'd tweak some things, but otherwise sounded like everything was fine and we think we're successful.The part of that press conference is was most pleased to hear was the part where coxy said he'd do a couple of things different to horse. Sounds like he has his own ideas of the way the game is progressing and what he wants to do with the team structure and game plan.
I know I said previously I wouldn't buy into how well the team was going next season but this has renewed a bit of faith and excitement into next season for me.

I hope it was purely to keep the tone light for Horse's last day.
Didn't read all of the post or ?What else is he going to say "Nah Horse has been a terrible Senior Coach I'm going to rip everything up"?
Imagine that for a first press conference "I'd been trying to tell Horse he was wrong for ages. Had I been in charge we wouldn't have lost against Brisbane"What else is he going to say "Nah Horse has been a terrible Senior Coach I'm going to rip everything up"?
Wasn't even remotely saying that.Imagine that for a first press conference "I'd been trying to tell Horse he was wrong for ages. Had I been in charge we wouldn't have lost against Brisbane"
All the best to Dean, the last two Sydney coaches have won a flag within a few years of being appointed. No pressure.
All of those things take time. No silver bullets or instant fixes. The tactics and structures are easiest. The accountability requires buy-in which takes time. Perhaps as part of the GF player review? Still need two new assistants and need their buy-in too.I think Cox's first and most important objective, even before some of the tactical areas for improvement like the midfield, forward structures etc., is to fix the culture of this team. Bring back accountability and the concept of team-first footy. Fixing these things alone will set Cox up for a strong start. God knows the talent is already there.
I reckon 2014 was a better list - but not by far. The only place I'd argue it was clearly weaker was first ruck (Pyke vs Grundy) - because Grundy can contribute more around the ground. But even then, that almost underplays just how damn good Pyke was as a ruckman at that point too, who could kick goals too.Cox has the best list as his disposal that i can recall as a Swans coach.
Anyone looking for that at a farewell presser is looking well and truly in the wrong place.Even ignoring that, it is a farewell presser after all, I'm still not sure how anyone watched it, previously were pessimistic, but changed their mind, and are now more positive that we're going to address the problems we have.

We are successful although you may not see it that way (we could easily miss finals and be middle of the road). Maybe it only needs a tweak and a new voice shouting at them.I was disappointed in that bit, because he said he'd tweak some things, but otherwise sounded like everything was fine and we think we're successful.
