Re: Assistant Coaches

This would be an incredible get if true / eventuates.

The type of announcement that makes a material difference in our hearts and minds, as well as being (based on the resume and recency) a brilliant move for our on-field progression.

Agree.

This club needs a name but when I say that a person that will have an impact. We have shopping at Franklins too long now, the momentum it would bring the playing group along with the new facilities would be like a breath of fresh air. I then really like the idea of getting a young talented coach in(I don't care less where they are from) that Bevo/Leppa can help develop.

Fingers crossed, I'd love Bevo and Bont to lift a cup together a person like Leppa can help make that happen.

Re: Assistant Coaches

How do we not have a similar structure in place? Not replacing Maple was nuts.

I mean look at the quality team announcements he brings.

That was so GOOD.

I would have truly enjoyed watching Bevo do a 'Bailey Williams out, Robbie McComb in' version of the 'Howard out, Gryphen in' scenario and just sat back and watched the YouTube comments to follow...

Can we at least make THAT happen??

Some idea why we are making are making changes would be decent content for sure. Bevo's brief just makes me sad these days.

Re: Assistant Coaches

What does the director of coaching do?

[Twodogs]

Re: Assistant Coaches

The introductions if Leppa is hired:

Luke: My name is Luke, I?m head coach, I like surfing and throttling Damian Barrett at the 2015 Brownlow.

Justin: My name is Justin, I?m the director of coaching. I like to keep fit and being restrained by former teammates from throttling Damian Barrett at 2016 Grand Final drinks.

Luke: I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship.

"Damien Barrett has been punched in the dunnies...

Round up the usual suspects."

Impressive CV.

Let's hope we can get it done.

Re: Assistant Coaches

Gut feel we are 60/40 to land Leppitsch. I wouldn’t be surprised at all to learn the club approached him during the pre finals bye to gauge his interest. I’m also clinging to the hope landed Leppitsch is priority and that is why we haven’t hired anyone yet.

Re: Assistant Coaches

Maybe Leppitsch will bring the others and that’s why we have only chased him .

I think it's clear we have chased others. Not all signed/announced and lost some (McQualter sounds like it was close, maybe we tried for Barlow, Dew sounds like we thought we were close etc)

I heard Barlow interviewed the other day and he said that Clarko talked to him mid year about a role, so I doubt he spoke to us. Maybe we asked and he said he had a job.

Re: Assistant Coaches

Any newly retired prospects who would make good coaches?

I wonder about Cotchin.

Hard to say, perhaps some could move into development coach type roles. Not sure about Cotchin though.
