Coach Fages and the coaching group

[MSB ROYS]

From the absolute bottom to the absolute top.

What an incredible journey.

Improved each year, steadily knocking off milestones / breaking losing streaks until reaching the top.

 

[Bucking Beads]

Very happy for Chris Fagan and his team. Nobody deserves this more than he does. An elite human being!

It's harder to stay there. Now for 2025. What awaits?

 

[purplearmy]

Really happy for Fagan. Top bloke. Totally deserves it.

 

[McIvor]

Where did these bullshit rumours start about tactics and not being good enough coaching finals etc.?

In Choco Williams fashion; David King, you were wrong!

Minor premiership and back to back?
We have another Ashcroft to come in and 4 players back from injury.

How many pick 1 players have won a premiership with the club that drafted them?

You need to be truly bad, to truly good, with the player staying the whole time. Rayner might have joined a very special club.

Hodge, Banfield and Headland (though Des betrays the "staying the whole time" bit). And now Cam. Pretty exclusive.

Levi next year.

We were 1-5 in finals after 2021. Now 9-7. It was fair to question it a little but it’s been disproven now.

But to blame the coach?

? How did we do it with just a very good coach and not a great one? Like, how could King have been wrong?

You’ve got one of the best people in football in Fages. I know you will but you should treasure this man

King and Lloyd have lost so much credibility, if they even had any to start with, it’s not funny. If they had the balls, in the coming days they’d own the fact they were horribly wrong.

I believe this team can go back to back. I know everyone says that after a premiership but unless we lose one or both of Joe and Harris, we will, at least on paper be a stronger team next year. It felt like something clicked for the playing group as a whole. Like they collectively had a eureka moment that could lead to dominance into the next season.

I know Leigh took us from the bottom of the ladder to a premiership/s but the majority of the premiership teams were already there when Leigh took over. Off the top of my head, the players who were there when Fages took over are Zorko, Froggy, a young Andrews and Hipwood and I think that’s it. Huge effort to completely rebuild the list. I agreed with Fages’ comment that it only felt like we genuinely had a chance to win it last year.

None of this happens without Leigh Matthews. I believe his input and influence has been all over the club from the appointment of Swanny to the appointment of Fages and mentoring Fages somewhat. We as a club got so lucky when he decided to sign on to coach us and then stay in Brisbane and involved with the club long after his coaching tenure had ended.

Scrolling through this. Fair few of you should be buying premiership towels to wash all the egg off your faces. Go lions, go Fages.

I need 10 towels. 5 for the egg on my face and 5 to wipe the shit up that I dribbled!!

 

[Morbidly_Obese]

Whoever was orchestrating all of that 'Fagan Out' posts on here should be ashamed of themselves.
