The Sydney Swans under Head Coach Paul Roos had three Assistant Coaches: Ross Lyon, John Longmire and Peter Jonas. Two of whom have now left. It seems that we have become a victim of our own success as all our assistants are highly sought after by other clubs.
Ross Lyon has been appointed head coach of St Kilda after previous coach, Grant Thomas, was sacked at season’s end. John Longmire was also in the race for this job but he will now stay at Sydney as it appears Paul Roos is trying to implement a bit of succession planning. Peter Jonas left to go back to his home state and become an assistant at the Adelaide Crows.
Amongst all the exodus though we have managed to pick up John Blakey who has played 330+ games and has been an Assistant coach under Leigh Matthews at the Brisbane Lions for the past 4 years.
