I know right!!! 3 comebacks in one game, momentum shifts all game. Right down to the wire. Some of the best pressure footy you'll ever see.

With the exit of francou, Kirk will move to midfield coach and Stevie J will be the forwards coach

I thought Stevie went to GWS to join their coaching after playing. Not sure if he'll be a good coach based on his football style and personality, happy to be proven wrong.

Yeh, that's exactly what I was saying to a mate. I thought it was 2 years with 2 years off field. A bit surprising that he moved on IMO.

Coaching gig might of been foil for backlash at recruiting an old fart

Head of Football Tom Harley has been “happy” with the Sydney Swans’ minimal movement at the trade period, stating that’s unlikely to change before the Thursday afternoon deadline.

Sydney hasn’t made any move in what has been largely a quiet trade period in comparison to previous years.

At this stage two players, midfielder Dan Robinson and rookie Sam Murray, have been open in seeking opportunities elsewhere while ruckman Kurt Tippett and defender Aliir Aliir has been discussed externally as a possible target for clubs.


Harley says the Swans’ focus earlier in the year was to reinvest in the stocks they already owned, directly referring to the nine players who signed contract extensions earlier in season 2017.

Speaking on SEN Breakfast on Tuesday, Harley was straight forward when pressed on whether the Swans had any surprises up their sleeves before Thursday’s 2pm deadline.

“I wouldn’t have thought so,” Harley told SEN radio.

“Our priority was pretty clear throughout the year with the list we (already) have. We can quite clearly improve but our priority was to lock down some key players.

“We started that with some of the younger players like (Isaac) Heeney, (Callum) Mills and alike, then finished up with (Sam) Reid as a free agent and Zak Jones as a dashing half-back.

“They were our priorities which probably made our hands a little tied through the trade period but we’re happy with that.”

On the matter of Robinson and Murray, Harley says both remain part of the Club’s plans moving forward but would be open to exploring a move if the right deal came along.

Collingwood has reportedly shown interest in Murray, a speedy defender who played 16 games in the NEAFL this season.

Harley emphatically ruled out trading Tippett or Aliir.

Tony Lockett, the greatest ever goal-kicker in the competition's history, won four Coleman medals.

At 30 years of age, Lance Franklin equals that tally after taking out this year's accolade with 69 goals from his 22 regular season games.

So, it was only fitting for the former St Kilda and Sydney full-forward was in the flesh at this year's Club Champion Dinner at The Star Events Centre to present his understudy with another medallion.


He was at the same venue three years ago when Franklin won his third Coleman Medal, his first in red and white. He was honoured as Lockett draped the Coleman around his neck and nothing had changed a few seasons on.

Even though he's now a familiar face at the SCG, through his role as part-time goal-kicking coach, Franklin says the entire playing group still gets a thrill out of having Lockett down at the Club.

"I was starstruck and very happy he was able to come to the awards night and do that, as I am tonight," Franklin said backstage after accepting another Coleman from Lockett.

"As I've said throughout the year, the boys are buzzing (having Lockett at training) and they love every minute of it.

"It's very enjoyable having the best goal-kicker of all time at the Club."

Lockett, who was inducted into the Sport Australia Hall of Fame on Thursday, has been the talk of the town since his return to clubland in January.

The question on everyone's lips has been, what exactly can the greatest goal-kicker in history teach (arguably) the greatest goal-kicker of the modern era?

The answer: "Quite simply, there's nothing I can teach him," Lockett happily conceded to SwansTV.

"Lance is a complete professional and knows what he's got to do, he's been in the game long enough and kicked enough goals to know what he's doing.

"On the odd occasion, if he's had a bad one, he can fix it up himself so it's just a matter of being there, for him to have someone to throw a few things at him (hypothetically)."

On winning his latest Coleman, Franklin puts team success first and says the individual achievement will be one he'll reflect on post-football.

His win puts him in equal fourth on the all-time list alongside Lockett, Hawthorn's Peter Hudson, Geelong/North Melbourne's Doug Wade and Melbourne's Fred Fanning.

Collingwood's Dick Lee (eight) and Gordon Coventry (six), and the award's namesake in Essendon's John Coleman (five), top the list.

The Coleman Medal was instituted in 1981 and awarded, in retrospect, to previous winners up to 1954, the last season of Coleman's playing career. Players prior to that was awarded Leading Goal-kicker medals.
