Not surprising after the GF and Dean Cox's decision not to apply for the WC job.
Taken this list as far as it can go.
Will more than likely be announced mid year for the Tassie Job

I don’t think so, I think he’s done. Buckley is odds on for Tassie and has put in plenty of work behind the scenes.
This has been on the cards for Sydney for well over 12 months.
Such a well organised club, had the succession plan implemented long ago. Didn't tell the media, just quietly go about their business in developing players/coaches and making grand finals.

Rekon the Swans talked to Longmire and Cox when the WCE job came up and probably put a plan in place. Longmire's then had a couple of weeks to think about it and decided it's easier to just give Cox the clean air to takeover.
Will be very interesting to see if they now take a half step backwards.
I would assume Cox has a very different idea about how he wants them playing (hence the clean air) and it might take a bit of time to adjust.
That could also be why they went after forward line options in the draft.
The likes of Amarty and McLean might be getting limited game time in 2025 and beyond...

Reckon you can rule out the Swannies now for 2025 Premiers
Even though they finished top of the ladder they got found out a few times this season ..... not sure the change of coach will rectify that
Put the clamps on 1 or 2 of their stars and they are very beatable

They won't win a flag with Amartey, McLean and McDonald in the same forward line.

Why Russell thinks Hawks can be the “biggest club in Australia” by the end of next season
“They'll go from almost extinct and merging to the number one club in Australia.”

Russell. Dwayne. Dwayne Russell. Thinks the Hok will win the flag in '25 and become the biggest club in the land.

From Dwayne's article above...
“I reckon kids want to barrack for them, they've got this crazy Hokball thing going social media-wise, they're cool.”
Shame "kids" won't be able to access social media next year.

I saw a story about the SM ban for minors today. Part of me thinks "Good on you Australia!" and part of me thinks "what kind of draconian mentalness is this?"From Dwayne's article above...

It won't work and allows government to ID check everyone. Also want to control "the truth". It's very much draconian. Like the UK they are arresting dissidents and going towards some kind wanna be totalitarianism.
Just the least of it means that we will all have to verify our age for big footy. Not sure how you do that, but surely it has to be a full identification or its useless.
However if you go to a pr0n site you just need to click the button that says "i am over 18" so off to the pr0n sites go the kiddies.
Personally i'm not over the moon about it, Facebook, Google etc already know way too much about everyone and their online habits, it will just give them more.

Nanny country.
Government should not be parenting.
Let’s not even start talking about pill testing at festivals and the mixed messages that sends.

If we had a season like Hawthorn did this year there’s no way the media would try to pleasure us like they’re doing to Hawthorn now.From Dwayne's article above...

You'd be better off running a critical thinking and e-safety program through schools. It won't do anything.
When you pair it with the misinformation bill they were trying to push through it starts to become alarming. Digital I.D. to get on on internet, RBA already in beta with a CBD currency. Government overreach is alive and well.
My kids are 12 and 9, I am already conditioning them that they may have to pursue opportunities overseas. Between the taxes, the cost of houses, household debt, the red tape, mass immigration policy, it is not the same Australia we grew up with.

It is world wide. The US will be worse once they give the technocrats the keys and from there everyone will be coming in behind them. Elon will make the "illegals" the Trojan horse to chip everyone and biometric passport us all.
No its not.
Pill testing is common sense harm minimisation. Kids will always take drugs, if we can reduce the chance that they'll die from it we absolutely should.
The Internet would be significantly better if 16 and unders were banned from it, but I can't advocate for the Government banning more things. It should be up to the parents, not the Government, to control stuff like this.
Yeah I've been over 18 since I was 13
Agree with your first two points, but I like the idea of pill testing. They are going to do the drugs regardless of how much education you give them. It's never going to stop them.
Having a place where they can legally get their drugs tested, and find out if those drugs are going to potentially kill them - is one thing that might stop them taking drugs.
The alternative is that they simply take the drugs without knowing there was a bad batch.
Would love John Longmire in some kind of role at St Kilda. Realise it's a longshot, but we'd be mad not to try and pursue him.
