I would like to take my slice of the humble pie and admit I was totally wrong in considering Bomber Thompson a possibility for the job, there is no way in the world we should let him any where near our club.

I met one of the Swans academy coaches yesterday who is mates with Roos and who spoke to him a week or so ago. I asked him if, given recent results, if Roos was still happy taking up the MFC coaching reins. He said that Paul is a "coaching fiend" and loves being a coach.

We spoke briefly about Frawley and he had no idea if he was going to stay or not but said that free agency favoured the stronger clubs and the weaker clubs were always going to pay over the odds to keep or attract players

Re Hogan. As just a football supporter without any great industry knowledge I have more concerns about Hogan than most here particularly regarding his marking and kicking. The Swans academy coach however believes the Club has huge faith in Jesse and getting his signature on the two year extension is a key plank in the rebuild. They have very high hopes for him

I know there is nothing new here but I found it interesting to talk from someone close to Roos and thought some others here may find the same

Rumour flying around albury where Kirk is from are that it's him and it will be announced as soon as fremantles season is over, Fremantle are apparently aware of this as Kirk wanted to give them ample time to find a replacement, it's just a rumour but alot of people in albury know Kirk really well so might be truth to it

My younger sister lives out at Jindera. She knows Kirkies Mum so I'll get her to ask her.

sounds good.

However i don't think you need to worry about jesse.

unless its his back your referring to? id assume they will tip toe around it for some time.

Other wise, his marking and kicking in the vfl is better than any of the current young up and coming forwards.

none of them have achieved what he achieved in the vfl.

His work rate is also very good.
