He could doFor what it’s worth can someone confirm fly saying he didn’t want to be a long term coach??? It’s quite telling…. Does that mean when sh1t starts hitting the fan like it has this year and if we don’t bounce back next year, he’ll call it quits and move on?

I think he just said this wasn’t forever. Think you might be worrying too much. Will he be here as long as Bucks and MM possibly not. Doesn’t seem like a person who cuts and runs when things get hard.For what it’s worth can someone confirm fly saying he didn’t want to be a long term coach??? It’s quite telling….

I think there is a limit on what assistants can be paid. There’s been some recent negative coverage of it, with clubs having very limited scope to pay them more. It’s why we gave Bolton and Leppa different roles and titles this year.
Fin Macrae is better than Long and doesn’t get a game….let’s be real

The only limitation is the soft cap. It's the 75% (I think from memory) tax that exceeding the cap brings that makes it unpalatable for clubs. I doubt Fly is at the top of the senior coaching pecking order in terms of salary so that'd free a little extra to spread across the rest of the FD.
Wasn't the recent message from the club that they'll be less cautious with the soft cap going forward?
Do you think that tactic has been successful?Not sure about the club and its view of the soft cap, but I thought the AFL introduced a cap on assistants’ salaries during the Covid restrictions. I may have that wrong, but there was an article earlier this year on the financial struggles of one (more?) Swans’ assistant who was living in a mobile home while his family stayed back in his home city. The issue being his relatively low salary and inability to afford Sydney rents on top of his family’s housing. Sounds crazy I know.
Anyway, this discussion started because of Bolton and Leppitsch being moved from line coaching into more senior positions at the club, in order to pay them more (I.e. more than assistant coaches) and keep competitors at arms length.

The football department went to the board and requested extra budget. The board approved an additional $500k above the cap and said that we’d pay the tax.Not sure about the club and its view of the soft cap, but I thought the AFL introduced a cap on assistants’ salaries during the Covid restrictions.

After the jostling for position at the start of the year, I reckon the chances of retaining Leppitch, Bolton and Wright together is nil.
It’s a question of who gets the offer they can’t refuse.
Selwood and Skipworth have been there a while now. I know they are well regarded, but it may be time for a fresh voice.
Roughead’s had a hard time as defensive coach given personnel missing, but his results on field have been disappointing.
I’d imagine that there’s a decent chance that the AFL will lift the soft cap after this season so if the assistants / Wright want to stay (and we want them to stay) then we might be able to afford it.
might have moved onto something harder now to get through watching the replays I reckonHis red wine replays are a thing of the past.
