Personally I would love to see him back at the swans to craft his trade, he can then fight it out with Kirky for the honour of taking over from Horse when he is ready to call it a day ...

My God that article's subtitle for the picture... "MOL, second from left". Second from left is Dimma.​

Well you can understand the mistake as they look so similar

Good catch.

Paper obviously meant second from left of the blackfellas. Hard to tell them blokes apart you know.

"His 303 AFL games is a Swans record."

The Herald-Sun's usual meticulous attention to detail.....

He was a brilliant player and I think with his knowledge and experience in games and Grand Finals will make him a great, understanding coach.

Hope it doesn't wreck his reputation though.

Lucky SOB, I'm technically in four days because they refuse to release the recordings of lectures, but cos of work bailing on my Thursday lecture, bloody hate it.

MOL would be a good coach. I kinda like the idea of him taking over from Horse, but I'd much prefer Kirk, think he'd make a better coach on the inspirational front.

I'm genuinely waiting for the day when a club has separate coaches for strategy and man management. A la Football with their Coaches and Managers... makes much more sense. Have Kirk for the rev ups and the motivational talks, and Mickey for the tactics and off-field leadership.

The business manager me in says "what!? More labour??"
In light of the paltry profits SSFC is turning over, I doubt the club can afford it!

With the amount of money spent on our Football Department? Really? I'm fairly sure we're one of the highest spenders on that area of our game.

It will be interesting to see how quick it takes Mick and Kirk to attract senior opportunities in tms of being a head coach somewhe. Mick has said he wants to be a senior coach having had a lot of experience coaching young players but none at a club while Kirk, we assume, would be a natural fit as a coach and has made the first step towards doing that.

I have a feeling if Mick became the first indigenous senior coach in the league, that would mean more than just about anything else he has done professionally. I'm cheering hard for him (he wasmy favourie player for a loooong time) and even if he can't be a Swans coach, I want him to succeed somewhere.

Bit off topic, but I noticed the MOL episode of "Who do you think you are?" is being replayed on SBS next Tuesday (12 March) at 7.30 pm.

Kirk would only be a good coach while concussed. Mick will always have bad knees
