Did he leave Collingwood when MM was coach?

Did the current board tell him to pull up his socks several months ago?

Buggered if I know.

I've heard strong rumors that Swann will be off to the VRC.

Is the talk of his relationship with MM true ?
Yes

Wasn't he also a big factor in getting Judd to us?
Pratt was far more influential.

Did he leave Collingwood when MM was coach?
Yes

Did the current board tell him to pull up his socks several months ago?
That's whats been reported. He was told at the start of the year to improve. It has also been reported that the Board is happy with his performance in 2012. I wonder what they base this on? Can't be membership.

Thanks Freddy,

I knew the answers to the questions but more trying to make a point to Cimm that Swan and MM might have a strong relationship but it did not stop Swan from moving employment.
If the board think he should be moved on then his relationship with Malthouse won't save him.

On the topic of assistant coaches, apparently we are talking to Andrew McLeod.

McLeod would be fantastic for our indigenous boys..

Just the indigenous ones?

One of the all time great players, not sure he'd be the best coach.
Ling was someone that had to battle outside his limitations.
McLeod had few limitations. He worked bloody hard to have such a long and successful career but his natural ability meant players had to work him out not vice versa.

McLeod sounds a bit like Blight and Roos when you put it like that.

Reckon he'd be great for our HBF's....

If this is the case, we're drafting Dayle Garlett at #11

Well that would be a sight with the indigenous mosquito fleet running rampant on the MCG.

Will he improve the disingenuous players ?

Well if that's the case, he can't come to Melbourne as a part-time coach.....that's a full time job in itself

Has Mick called Shane O'Bree yet?
He was one of his favourites.

Looking forward to seeing our potential realised.

O'Bree is coming back to Melbourne. Pretty sure Mick would have had a chat to him by now.

Let's hope so

Yeah and Ling would have been fantastic for the white boys and Jakovich would have been good for the brown boys.
