Analysis Is Leppa the Right Man for the Job?

[royboys4eva]

to roys post...id add that Leppa is starting to ruin Lewy Taylor. He was a natural footballer with a big future but now he is just stagnating

Taylor plays his best when he is floating between midfield and half forward where he can set up play. Tonight and for most of the season we have had him sitting under Walker and about 7 opposition defenders. Notice tonight when he moved up field more in second half he looked a lot better.

I know. What a complete idiot. When you treat people the way that Leppitsch treated Adcock it damages clubs. Adcock had played over 200 games at the Lions and was Captain 2013 and 2014. No wonder Redden walked and Yeo got out ASAP.

If I remember correctly Yeo said he was happy to stay at the club but the Weagles gave him an offer to good to refuse, which in itself still isn't very good.

Yeo left before Adcock got moved on.

No way!

Well he was either Psychic or just knew a dud coach when he saw one. I think it was a bit of both.

He actually left before Leppa coached him at all.

Did Yeo play under Leppa? Eitherway.. small mistake by 3KZ. Leppa is useless and has to go

We'd probably sack Leppa and sign another untried coach which IMO would be another debacle waiting to happen.

 

[royboys4eva]

What's more if Leppa needs to go - the new appointed coach should bring with him a whole new array of assistants. The current bunch are not up to it. Even if Blacky was moved on i wouldn't ark up. That's not to say the great man might not be a decent coach in time but we need start getting new people in with new ideas.

Blacky needs to do what Lappin did and go to a different club to develop as a coach

If there is a coaching change it has to be someone who has never set foot in the Gabba as a player or coach before.

And It has to be someone from a proven system...Not the Tigers!!! We need to look at the Cats, Swans, Hawks assistants...after that perhaps teh Doggies & kangas

The only reason Leppa got the job is we buggered up getting Paul Roo's to our club. It will be interesting to see if we chase after Paul Roo's after Leppa's contract finishes.

 

[Mr Ripper]

Paul Roo's what?

 

[Bucking Beads]

**** Paul Roos.

Paul Roos is going overseas after his demon gig

 

[royboys4eva]

Paul Roos will be in America next year and not giving the Lions one second of his thoughts. He did enough for the Roys as a player he doesn't need the heartburn again and he certainly doesn't need the money.

Let's not say things we can't take back...

I'm sure at the time Roos said that he couldn't see himself ever living in Brisbane.

 

[SizeMatters]

I just don't think Leppa is a good coach. IMO Players don't give to shts about him it seems either. If they did they would play to his structures (of which I'm skeptical about as is) and put in some decent effort for once.

Leppitsch's record now stands at 12 wins and 40 losses, for a winning percentage of 23%. What is even worse is that over that period of time our percentage has been just 68%, which is beyond terrible. Leppa currently has the 7th worse winning percentage all-time of coaches who have coached more than 50 games.

Interestingly Alan Richardson's winning percentage is 24%, but the next worst of the current coaches is Leon Cameron on 43%, then Hardwick on just below 50%. All other current coaches have winning percentages over 50%.

% is the killer. Indicative of far too many capitulations.

Shows you how quickly coaches with losing records get canned when you only have four of them currently in the league.
