Next time we beat them and Leon is back in the fold will do it for me.

I would hope it wouldn't be in a coaching role as I'm not sure what he can offer besides ''experience''.

That's a shame.

I'm the same. I've got a soft spot for Leon watching him come in with Grant back in 89/90.
He did get the Giants to a GF and a few prelims; despite what people think about the list that still takes a fair bit of coaching ability.

Agreed. Very difficult to make preliminary finals, and grand finals let alone win the whole thing.
He was a genuine company man when he was with the Giants, and I would think he would be a genuine company man no matter where he went.
Nobody's looking for a puppeteer in today's wintry economic climate.

Obviously you aren’t a fan. Do you think we need additional help in coaching ranks

Re: Heat on Bevo?
Leon was a quite highly rated assistant with Rocket was he not? I get he didn't win a premiership at the Giants but that doesn't mean he has nothing to offer the team

Re: Heat on Bevo?
We can’t go in next year with the same crop of assistants. If Cameron is available then so be it. We need experience. Cameron made a GF and some prelims. Yes he had the best draft picks etc, but you still have to make it. We supposedly have the best midfield the AFL has ever seen, and look at us at the moment. I wanna see changes and I wanna see BIG changes that makes us better in every department, on field and off.
I will never see #16 the same!!

Re: Heat on Bevo?
Are we overlooking the fact that Cameron is a bit of a dick though?

From the outside it seems that something is a miss inside the club, but I have no idea if it's a coaching or player issue.
I don't think Leon would offer us a great deal as the team he coached relied on individual performances rather than a system based approach... which where we are at and we clearly need a step change. Not sure Leon could help us in that case.

Cameron would have improved as both as a coach and a footy person and would have plenty to offer the right club.
I'm not sure if he would be a great fit for us but he should land somewhere.

Re: Heat on Bevo?
Forgetting Cameron for a moment, I would look at someone who has never played for us, and has been an assistant under a successful coach. Someone with different ideas
