Getting Smith back is a positive as he built a strong rapport with the defensive players before he moved into other roles
I would have preferred at least one other change but lets now see how the team performs

I also was hoping for an addition that was outside of the club.
I wonder if the strong end to the home and away season put a stop to bringing in an assistant from outside the club?
The other unknown is we may have targeted someone and it fell through, they may have got a senior job.

You have probably hit the nail on the head but I would imagine that when Bevo signed the extension he already had strong ideas of the coaches he wanted around him. If no one poaches our coaches they might all get long service with us

Since the premiership we have had 4 changes out of 9. The other 5 have moved around including stints as VFL coach.

Monty went before we won the flag and I think Jennings work with the coaches and not directly with the players
Essentially the players have been listening to the same voices for many years (Smith, Gia, King, Hansen and Corey) albeit with some shuffling of the roles the coaches perform. I'd probably lean to the notion that this isn't ideal and that the occasional new direction could prove invigorating for some of the players

A couple more changes would have been good.
