    Has there really been that much turnover?

    There was a bit post 2021 GF but the group has been pretty stable really...Smith departure the end of 2023 didn't seem like either Bevo's idea OR Smith's idea.

    I think a lot has been made of not much here...I mean, the Hansen departure was a blow but who else are we talking about??
    What should I tell her? She's going to ask.

    Either way we needed to make some changes, and I think they are all positive.

    We have had quite a few leave, I know they blamed Covid for a lot of them.
    You could also say some were poached but why would they all leave if it was such a good environment to be in.
    We threw everything at Leppitsch and he stayed at Collingwood, why couldn’t we keep our coaches after all they won a flag together
    and then Bevo threw them all into different rolls, why?
    I won’t go into the Dalrymple debacle.
    finally if you read between the lines on the review findings released by the club it sounds like they are saying Bevo needs to change without saying it.
    we have too much young talent on this list to balls it up and I don’t want history to repeat itself and
    it is a long history I might add.

    I guess this is what I'm asking. Who (WHOM) are you specifically talking about??

    1/. Wasn't Leppitsch simply using our offer to get 'more' from his current club?
    2/. WHY would he leave Collingwood for anything other than a senior coaching role?
    3/. WHY are we convinced that recruiting him is a good idea?

    Happy to discuss it - he wasn't a coach (well, I guess he was back in the Northern Knights days!) but pretty sure Bevo had very little to do with his move to Sydney...just as Longmire had little to do with his move to the Saints.
    What should I tell her? She's going to ask.
