Latest on the increased soft cap for coaches - which is actually sweet fa.

$50,000 deductions for grand final travel: AFL’s club cash plan explained

AFL clubs have had mixed reactions to the increase in the soft cap limiting spending on coaches, with several initially underwhelmed by changes.

Even though it works less in our favour as we have grown, I strongly support equalisation measures. I think they help make the footy more fun to watch.

Promoted Shane from strength and conditioning coach to head the fitness team

 

[JackHiscoxWasFast]

The Shane Lehane falls mainly on the plain.

Lehane has been at the Sydney Swans for the past four seasons.

Once again we are "looking to grow & improve from within" while all our competitors look to grab people that will make them better.

I assume we couldnt get anyone outside of the club? or didn't wanna come here.

Its a critical role hope Lehane is qualified enough.

What’s to say Sydney didn’t cast the net wide to end up promoting internally to someone who is qualified?

He was Inness’ 2IC, I’m sure he’s been well moulded and mentored to take over the Head Fitness role

No idea how soft cap works but could we lean on our sponsors to potentially also have some 'ambassadorial' role for the assistant coaches for extra $$$

Realestate.com.au - rent assistance
Volkswagen- hire car assistance
Qbe - insurance discounts
Qatar - ambassador role $$$

Sounds even better with an Irish accent

If the players need an example of not resting on your laurels over the offseason, this is the post for them.

We need someone who can inject some toughness into our players.

Doesn’t help that our senior coach is one of the highest paid in the league and soaks up a big chunk of it

Well 20 per cent of a senior coach’s salary is now outside the cap.

I remember an seeing an interview with him a few years ago. Was super impressive. Good on him.

I'm just trying to cotton on to what they're doing...

Any clue as to who our new line coach might be? Those with "sources"?

This bloke.

Why wouldn't we promote from within? Our fitness was elite last season, I'd much rather stick with someone who knows the club and the players than bring someone in who will force change for no reason than to make an impact.

Besides, we will still need to find his replacement. Where do you think we will find that? Think we'll promote Reid to Lehane's position?

A tad early for that , clubs coaching staff are pretty busy , might be some moves after this trade period

It hasn't worked BS.
"Growth from within" doesn't work. We think as a club we are ahead but it was proven we aren't on GF day.
I guess the club are happy to stay the same with shiny new facilities that have a nice fuzzy feel about it every time someone walks in.
It clearly hasn't worked, IMO of course.
