Unpopular opinion: losing 4 GF's would actually be more traumatising.

The closer you are, the worse it is.

Still, he needs to be sacked.

The succession plan has been in place since Ron Barassi was coach. His assistant Rodney Eade replaced him. Eade's assistant coach Paul Roos replaced him. Roos' assistant coact John Longmire replaced him. Longmire's assistant coach Dean Cox replaced him. So the question really is, who takes over from Cox?

they most likely have 10 years to work that out! Clearly wasnt Dew

Just imagine if this was us

" Port Adelaide have announced Ken Hinkley will step into a new role at the club - 'executive director, club performance' "

Bigburley would explode

Don't even

Don't Sydney fans remember 2009 when they missed the finals once in 16 years?!?!

Don't want him anywhere near the club at any time in the future.
Clean break.

There was never a succession plan with Paul Roos to take over. Even though Paul Roos was an assistant, the job was pretty much promised to Terry Wallace. Roos took over as caretaker coach once Eade resigned mid-year and his popularity with the Swans supporters and players made it impossible for the Swans board to not go with him.

Terry Wallace was supposed to replace Eade, but the Sydney fans actually became hostile and pushed management and the board hard to appoint Roos, after his 10 games as interim coach was pretty successful.

Richard Colless will not publicly admit they had given the job to Wallace, but when he talks about how Wallace was close to being appointed, before the groundswell by fans for Roos, he is very sheepish about it.

Eade was never Barassi's assistant. He was coaching North Melbourne's reserve team and won the 1995 flag after coaching the Bears' reserves team to the 1991 flag.

Maybe you can ask Buffalo Bills fans what they think. They lost 4 super bowls in a row.

The first one in January 1991 - if Scott Norwood's 40 odd yard field goal attempt with 8 seconds to go, went about 18 inches to the left of where it did, they would have beaten the NY Giants. Amazing game as there were no turnovers in the game. Think its still the only super bowl for that to happen. But somehow the Bills kept coming back and making the super bowl, but none of them were close and loses kept getting bigger. Win the first one and maybe they aren't as driven and don't play the next 3. Still haven't made one since.

Didn't realise that. I always thought he was from within the Swans.

Being Dennis Pagan's assistant and having coached a flag, plus his Hawks background was the key factor to him getting the jpb

Just leave already ffs. Nothing like starting 2025 preseason already knowing we have 0 chance of winning the flag, let alone even make a grand final. We are wasting everyone's time at this point for reasons unknown to any sane person.

Absolutely. The hierarchy are a bunch of cowards. Like you said, we know that we are wasting another season with this idiot at the helm. Koch and co are pathetic and have. O backbone. Disgusting.
