[Hollow Knight]

Getting Springfield over the line would be a good "Swann-Song". Could understand him looking for a new chapter after this.

He's been wonderful for us.

 

[JasRulz63]

HUN reporting Swann is the number 1 target to be the new bombers CEO.

Would be a good decision on Essendon's part to bring in someone of Swann's track record...therefore they're now looking into ScoMo's mentor Brian Houston for the job.

 

[lionraven]

Makes sense that the Olympics saga is going to be a 10 year job negotiating Gabba upgrades, Lions' fixtures, potentially wrangling out an upgrade to the Ekka showgrounds too etcetera. Would be a good point to transition to another person. However, if I were Swann I would be reticent to be tied to the Bombers. Swann already has a strong reputation. The politics of the Bombers is a perfect way to tarnish any legacy you leave behind.

 

[Mr Ripper]

Two first rounders + their social media guy and we can throw in our match day emcee.

 

[POBT]

our match day emcee.

To be replaced by a screaming curlew.

 

[BuntonRules]

Essendon is a challenge. Is Swannie getting a bit long in the tooth for the long term commitment that would need?

If he does, good luck to him and thankyou. IMO he would be happy if Noble stepped into his shoes. What a mentor for David.

 

[blueiris]

Surely this frees up David Noble to become our CEO which I think would be the best replacement for Swanny

 

[McIvor]

I wonder if this is why Nobes has accidentally said “we” a few times this week when talking about the Lions.

Surprised they didnt try to get that Walsh fellow that just went to the Saints

Insert Monty Python "I am not dead yet" Gif. Swanny still got the keys to the company Hyundai.

Fake news. Swanny hasn't even got a phone call from them. Move on...more garbage from the gutter media making their selves relevant.

Would be hoping for a better upgrade than that.

Probably loving life in Brisbane too. Still, nothing lasts forever and wouldn't surprise to see him move back to Melb at some stage now that the Springfield objective has been achieved. Has been a massive part of the club's success and would love him to stay around a few more years.

If he moves back he will be on his own because his wife & family wont move back. (same as Hodgy's wife)

Happy wife = Happy life.... the other option is No wife = Happy life.

Agreed, cannot imagine going from a club as well structured as ours is (now) to the bombers, where the board is stacked with old boys club types that would roll their own grandmothers if it got one of their mates a look in.

No thanks.

Good to hear, while no doubt Noble would be a great CEO for us, Swann has yet to put a foot wrong so would still rather him at the wheel.

Love Swanny and want him to stay but I would be just as happy with Noble at the helm, we are such a bloody well run footy club now.... massive kudos to the likes of Wellington, Swann along with Lethal and the rest of the crew on the board.

Jake Anson as well has been exceptional in charge of the Springfield project, I wonder if he stays on now that it is completed.

From what I hear when he's on the Roar Deal, Jake is up to his neck in the planning around the Olympics, ie which venue(s) we'll need to play at over the next 10 years and what work might need to be done to and around those venues. I'd be very surprised if he moved on or was moved on right now, but then again I have no idea how these things work.

Working on the Olympics infrastructure team would have to be a tempting prospect.

 

[BRAB]

Feels like the natural next step for him. He is so passionate about sport in Queensland and leaving a legacy. Probably the perfect job for his skillset.

thought the same. would be nice to have a higher profile assistant around.
In case we need one short notice next year. Anyone heard anything about Noble coming back in a role?

 

[Surly Boy]

 

[BuntonRules]

Good on him.

 

[trikster]

Interesting as Dany Daly said just last week that the assistant coaches would be unchanged for next season, or is he only the academy coach?
