Former Sydney Swans player Daniel McPherson has joined the club to help develop the next generation of stars

Yeah, Frosty returns.

[Robbo]

Nice stuff.

But I cbf with all this @@@@ anymore. I just want to see some footy :mad:

another job for the sydney boys.it's about time we brought some fresh blood in

[Bear]

hmmm. Alison always had great footy smarts
Frosty had none, so not sure how he'll go coachnig

Only saw Alison play live once for the Swans and that was in a reserves game. Tadhg was in his first year here so I was interested to watch him, but I became fascinated by Alison. His footy brain and experience stood out a mile and he was effectively Captain/Coach. I was very impressed. Don't know what he is like as a person but he seems a better coaching prospect than Cresswell for example.
Frosty Macpherson always came across as a nice enough bloke and it is good that he has stuck with the club. There needs to be a development of NSW players after footy to ingrain Aussie rules into the general psyche of NSW.

Time to bring out the "Frosties Flank" sign from the cobwebs.

Well he did get knocked out in a game by a kick from Ricky Mott.
So he has definately been there and done that.

There's a job for the boys if I ever saw one!!

That was a beauty from Ricky! Absolute mule of a kick straight into Frosty's head.

Youtube footage of that would be funny.

We were downright horrid that game and to think we won the premiership 3 years after!

I think you guys should at least give him a chance. He was quite successful when he coached at senior level for Nth Shore in the local comp and i believe he has done quiet well with some of the younger development squads also so he may turn out to be ok.

Sorry. I didn't know Frosty has been out coaching.
In that case ... yes, time will tell.

coaching north shore is a bit different to coaching young afl players.saying that i always liked him as a player as he gave 100%.

You have to start somewhere. I think that coaching on your own would give you better exp than being one of 30 ass to someone else.

I am pretty sure he's been working as a development coach with the NSW/ACT underage squads for the last year or so...which would seem to be a more than decent grounding for an assistant rookie development role at an AFL club.

All in all, it's good to see the job going to someone who at least knows how to play the game at top level.
Good to see an ex-swannie gainfully employed.
