Don't forget we need a leader for the Canberra mob! Could be Ablett - somewhere between the meat raffle, and passing on experience.

Actually, we have been well served by some senior people who have provided service to the younger Swans in their approach and development. The promoted have almost invariably seemed confident when they step up.

Yep. I'm sure the likes of Dan Currie benefited from having Spida around the club just as the young Tigers will from having someone of Cousins' experience to help out with their development. Experience is underrated. I'd be very interested to see how the Aussie swimmers benefit from having Therese Alshammar train with the squad (story), sure she's 31 and is past her best but it's just another example of how important experience can be in sport.
