The AFL website is reporting that Rhyce Shaw has accepted an assistant coaching position at North Melbourne and that Gary Rohan is "open" to returning home to Melbourne with Geelong and North apparently showing interest.

Disappointing but of course understandable to see Rhyce Shaw go back to Melbourne (given the strong influence he has had around the club), but if he continues to progress as he has been, wouldn't be surprised to see him in the top job one day in the future.
As for Gaz - the eternal divided opinions are likely to follow. But if we can get an ok return for him, I'd take it. A fresh start might be great for him, and we might be able to use what we get in return towards fulfilling our broader needs. While Geelong looks an obvious one given his history down there, they aren't going to have a lot at the trade table surely to offer - not that he is probably worth a great deal of currency.

"You get the feeling that like Monty Python's Black Knight, the Swans would regard amputation as merely a flesh wound."
Hannebery has now also 'officially' requested a trade...Times are a changing at the Swans....
And IMO the head coach need to change his tactics and evolve with a new group...Or go the way of these others.
Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it's time to pause and reflect... MT
You have nailed it there. Perhaps his option to do so was last year or the year before and he didn't take it....now the flow on effects are coming home to roost. I'd suggest a planned handover to Dew would have things in a better spot with the playing group.Originally Posted by ernie koala
Now being reported Nic Newman wants to leave.
Buckle up
Hanners will get done quickly to get cap relief, we'll take unders for that reason.
Rohan will get done for a third rounder or a swap of 3rd for 4th.
Rhyce Shaw I'm sad about, developed into a quality person and highly rated. Might be going elsewhere to broaden horizons before returning?
Me too.....and I have the same hopes for the future.
Rohan currency won't be high because he couldn't get a game in the 7th best side behind youngsters like ronke and mccartin.
A 3rd rounder at best.
If he'd been playing seniors, maybe a 2nd rounder.
I hope that he does well wherever he goes. He has the talent, and Sydney is about the worst side to play 2nd or 3rd forward at
Departures? Seems like more of an exodus.
Strange as we haven't really had to suffer stars leaving voluntarily for a long time.
The eternal connundrum "what happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object" was finally solved when David Hasselhoff punched himself in the face.
One player and an assistant coach an exodus? About 8 blokes have re-signed this year
Those who have the greatest power to hurt us are those we love.
2 players & a coach
