    If that's true then he needs to be kicked out of that club for their own good. And he holds the alleged moral high ground on contracts, especially Tom Boyd's.

            I can believe it. Up in Brisbane they seem to think that Leigh Matthews is some sort of footballing genius
            They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

                Yep. Not like the rational people from Footscray. If a coach ever won us 3 premierships in 3 years, we would remain totally calm in rating how much of a genius he is.

                        Matthews is the prime example of a good player and coach being a good player and coach, and not much else.

                        His commentary is rarely insightful or up to date, and I'm not sure why he was considered to be suitable to lead an organisation in a strategic position.

                                Yes, in my view he was.

                                Sure the players and the beneficial terms that landed them at Brisbane were unbelievably good, he told them where to stand and where not to stand.

                                The way they moved the ball from defence forward was revolutionary. They were the first team I've seen that moved like a machine in the way that has been common from the 2008 season or so onward.
