be interesting to see who Wiley brings on board......surprised Brennan jnr got a coaching gig considering his age......good to see his old man back at the club though, great footballer was that Monkey Brennan

foss was good & a ripper bloke....sf have a different colts/junior structure & he probably see's it as a better fit for him
steve Miguel is the academy director and I think Andrew dodd runs the program who only started in july but heard he is doing a terrific job
pirraotina the last time I checked is in charge at gero

RUMOURS

assistant coaches brown, lester smith & Henson not required next season

j.brennan back coach...locked in
dalziell mid coach
phil matera fwd coach

Disappointed to see Marsh get delisted, tough gig trying a to win a spot in Sydneys midfield especially with the likes of Hanneberry, McVeigh, Parker, Kennedy etc already in the mix....think they tried him out of defence in the NEAFL....struggled from the info I could snaffle, he is about 188cm, be interested to see if EF can get him back.....

Cheers for that strono.......be interested to see if Matera and Razzle come on board....cant see a Matera at EF though....be sacriledge wouldnt?.....Kaiden got out quick enough from memory!

Wasn't he selected in this years NEAFL team of the year from playing in defence?

Nice to hear names that could return, but being a pessimist on this subject, I'm sure $ will be buying players to stack up "in case" they need them.

That's a pretty weak league, I recall an ex Claremont player by the name of Tom Ayton making that team of the year along with Ryan brabazon. Brabazon was a more than handy wafl player but Ayton was very much a reserves player. Sydney swans squad players should dominate that competition. Didn't mitch Morton kick 100 or something from ten or twelve games there?

Ryan Brabazon left the state after the 2010 grand final loss,never to return.Normally an influential player,he struggled to get into the contest that day.Not surprising really as his direct opponent was none other than the heavily lubricated Travis Casserley.Such is life.

Brabazon played for Claremont in 2011, don't let the truth get in the way of a good story though.

Yep,left WA in 2012.Hardly what most people would call a good story though MO,rather a shameful piece of history for the WAFL?Being a friend of the family,I can tell you the Brabazon family do not hold any respect for your mob and rightly so.
