Sydney Swans coach Dean Cox has expressed his frustration over a “strange” fixture quirk, stating that the club intends to seek clarification from the AFL.
The Swans currently sit at the top of the ladder with a dominant record of 10 wins and 4 losses, boasting a percentage of 175.5 and a total of 16 points. Despite their league-leading position, Cox described himself as “disappointed” by the scheduling anomaly, labeling the situation as “quite strange.”
The coach confirmed the team’s intent to address the matter officially, noting, “We’ll speak to the AFL about it.”
This scheduling dispute comes as the Swans maintain their grip on first place, holding a significant lead over Fremantle and Hawthorn in the standings. As a primary flag contender, the team’s ability to navigate the fixture list remains critical to their championship aspirations.
