Leon Cameron could have a new role in the AFL world following his departure from GWS earlier in the year, stepping down from the senior coaching role mid-season.
Sydney have inquired about obtaining Cameron's services to oversee the Swans Academy, per the Herald Sun,ย keen to bring his experience across town.
The 50-year-old spent nine years in the top job at the Giants, coaching the club to their first, and only, grand final in 2017.
After stepping down in May, Mark McVeigh stepped into the interim coach role for the remainder of the season, with Adam Kingsley appointed head coach last month.
While the Swans are set to make a play for the experienced coach, he has also been linked to the vacant Essendon position, with the Bombers seeking an experienced coach to replace the sacked Ben Rutten.
The Bombers however, are reportedly yet to make any formal contact with the list of potential candidates, while Cameron has expressed his desire in the past to remain in the Harbour City.
Speaking on SEN earlier in the week, Cameron said he was yet to decide if the Bombers would be the right fit for him, conceding that the application was a thorough, and taxing, process.
โThatโs the really interesting question for myself (would he apply),โ Cameron said.
โI think before any applicant like myself, whether itโs (Melbourne assistant) Adem Yze or Ross Lyon or whoever it might be, the big question is: โAre you willing to go through that process?โ
โThe process is full on. Itโs a month to six weeks, sometimes eight weeks, of full-on presentations, psychological testing. Thereโs probably three or four presentations you need to deliver, then youโve got to meet the board if you keep on going or youโre down to the last two.
โItโs a thorough process.
โI havenโt really given (applying) much thought yet. I havenโt had that phone call (from Essendon) โ clearly theyโve just named their coaching panel yesterday."
Former Swans Academy chief, Chris Smith, left the role earlier in 2022, as did the head coach, Jared Crouch.
The two parties are reportedly expected to meet in the coming weeks.
