Must be something in the water at Princes Park that makes executives think they have to include promises of premierships in a business plan. It's likely ok for Cooky - he'll be well gone in 5 years and enjoying retirement. But the board approves this. So anything short of a flag in both competitions before 2027 is a failure. I'm really not sure why they think they have to do it.

Cook might still have touch with current Swans CEO Tom Harley.

Meaning ?

Meaning Cook could target Tom Harley to take the job - just a thought.

Apparently, there was a "Carltonians" nite last nite and Cook spoke.

I am unsure of the reliability of the source, but they claim he said something along the lines of "We are too top heavy and wished we had another 4 Ollie Hollands. Also he apparently conceded the club needs to develop players for the next 3 to 4 years.

Did anyone go to this Carltonians nite?

By develop players does that imply "rebuild" again through the draft?

He said pretty much the exact same thing on the record in his pre-game interview with 3AW last week vs the Lions, it's hardly a secret.

The only thing he didn't say was he wanted 3-4 of Hollands.

It's obvious he knows our deficiencies and that we won't do anything in this competition until they're addressed.

I reckon there are big changes coming at years' end.

I don't see what sacking Voss would achieve.

By all reports, Craig McRae does very little in terms of tactical set up, and delegates a lot of this to his assistants.

I think the assistants are the ones who should be looking over their shoulders.

I mean, what did Hamill do as an assistant at the Saints to deserve another gig in the AFL?

I agree sacking Voss will achieve nothing. But going by history the board has runs on the board doing this on multiple occasions. I think Voss is the right guy, he just needs to maybe be a bit more proactive and change things up. Or maybe he is getting pressure elsewhere to simply keep thinngs the way they are?

The Hamill question is also a very valid one.

Questions should also be asked of Hansen and I have to say Luke Power maybe too. He is the development coach right? Player development has been a consistent failure for many, many years. As for Hansen, our forwards are in some sort of mess generally. He has to be somewhat accountable right?

Do you think Voss is "safe"?

It seems clear their needs to be changes at board level and potentially at least some of the coaches too....

By all reports, Craig McRae does very little in terms of tactical set up, and delegates a lot of this to his assistants.

Not sure you can get a senior coaching gig on the basis you are delegating everything other than the emo side of things.
