Look at Sydney last 20 years of coaches. Barrasi, Eade, Roos, Longmire.
That's a whos-who of the best AFL coaches around. Sydney is not a place to try new or unproven coaches. We are a power club and attract the best. If we looked around for a coach it would be Clarkson and one or two others we would look at.
In my opinion Dew or Shaw hasn't got to the level to even be considered yet
Swans to offer Horse an extension before seasons end, according to Andrew Pridham.
BARRETT: Does Horse stay or go? It's like looking at a boat on a marina, says chairman - AFL.com.au
"We have a clear understanding of where John is, as he does us.
"No doubt we will come to an arrangement."
.....and later on.....
"And John's record speaks for itself. There is no nervousness about any of this. John has the highest integrity. I don't lose any sleep over it."
I can see it now. Longmire will re-sign with us on a $5.5M / 4 year deal, announce that he never considered leaving the Swans,
and Barrett will construe that as meaning the relationship between the club & the coach as being on very shaky ground.
This is what happens when you pay people to talk. They do.
Ahhh Roos wasn’t exactly a proven senior coach when he got the swans gig Baz ....Originally Posted by barry

"John has the highest integrity".
Well, that's probably why Barrett was confused.
Sorry, I don’t understand what you are saying.
‘This is what happens when you pay people to talk. They do.’
Longmire? Pridham?? Barrett???
Actually, now that you mention it, I'm pretty sure Eade wasn't either.
Don’t remember Eade but both Roos and Longmire were first time senior coaches at the Swans.
Not sure Clarko had much experience as a senior AFL coach before Hawthorn.
If clubs want “proven” there’s always Malthouse!
Let’s not forget Wallace
Pridham came across a little cocky in that series of quotes in my view. Seems to think it can meander along till season's end. I would close the deal now if I was the Swans. The decision has been made. Don't leave the door ajar for suitors.

He was an exceptional selection, and remember we had Terry Wallace alll
lined up until Roos made the choice inevitable.
Thought he implied they already had an understanding with Horse that would be formalised before the end of the year.

Has no idea of the meaning of the word
