Yep, all of that. Plus, he made us again look like an actual football club rather than the remnants of a circus that had largely moved on by the end of 80s. He got rid of the Swanettes (the Cheerleaders stationed at the Bradman Stand end), along with that intensely annoying song they used to play after every Swans goal at the SCG. I've recently found myself thinking about how much the re-introduction of post-goal music must have irritated him.... but I digress.He did for us what Paul Roos did for Melbourne.
Stopped the rot, sorted the culture and the backroom and got the team going in the right direction for a younger coach. He was "past it" as a coach when he joined in 1993 but his name alone gave us the time to get things fixed. His name got us extra help from the AFL and got us Lockett and Roos.
There's a case for saying he was the most important of those who arrived at the club in the 90s, i.e. more important than Lockett and Roos, partly since those two probably don't come to Sydney had Barassi not been there first.
