    Didn't Bucks play with over half of the playing group when he took over?
    Voss probably had quite a few ex-teammates as well.

    AFL is a bit of a boys club anyway, there aren't too many strangers in the industry - especially someone who played almost 300 games and then spends years as an assistant coach elsewhere.

    Voss was actually the exact person I was thinking of when I brought it up.

    Not so much assistant coaches but I heard Scott Clayton is going to North.
    Past his time I would have thought.

    Does anyone know if he is even in the recruiting space? I think he was in charge of player personnel
    Glenn Luff is the list manager and Mark Finnigan was the recruiting manager so I'm not sure the role he plays

    With all the cuts has he survived?

    He might be hiding in the same room as Tom Campbell.

    Player personnel would that be a person who decides who gets traded / delisted ?

    We didn't have any issues getting Gia or Dale Morris into coaching roles straight after retirement. I wonder if Boyd and Bevo are too stubborn to work together effectively.

    Great player and long term member of the Swans set up - gets him away from coaching his son - looks a positive move to me.

    I was impressed with lots of the Swans kids this season and have huge respect for what they do - Id suspect Blakey was a huge part of it behind the scnes

    Unfortunately I don't think we have the room for him
    Funny you say that G. I had a good 20 min talk with him at an East West day. Came across as very affable.
