    I stand corrected about 1956 - except that I know for sure that Miller was coaching the U/19s in 1966 when they finished fourth. I was at the first semi-final and he was the coach all right. So he must have had two separate stints.

    Yes. 1966 was a "one off" before he took on the Senior job in 67 and 68. Between 62 and 66 he was coaching co-ordinator and served on many committees.

    I was at that game as well B05, my brother played in it and they painfully lost narrowly to Collingwood .South only got in because Richmond were kicked out of the Finals for playing ineligible players. Slug Jordan was the Tigers U/19 coach.

    By the way, and this is off topic, do you remember the cockatoo that was kept outside the cricket club bar at the old lake oval? Fascinating for me as a kid at the time when I used to go and watch the thirds(under 19s). It's language was very 'colourful ' at the time!

    I've heard of players described as a smokey but that's ridiculous!
    He reminds him of the guys, close-set, slow, and never rattled, who were play-makers on the team. (John Updike, seeing Josh Kennedy in a crystal ball)

    Have just watched the highlights of last Saturday for the umpteenth time and noticed something I didn't pick up before.

    When Sam Reid kicks a goal after the half time siren, Tom Papley (I think!) starts sprinting towards Reid to congratulate him but is waving for teammates to come along with him.

    You just get the feeling that playing for the Swans, like his grandfathers did, means so much to him.
