Analysis Is Leppa the Right Man for the Job?

[lionshine]

Another disappointing result and another flogging. I think Leppa is gone at the conclusion of this season unfortunately. We have been flogged in Rounds 1, 3, 5, 7, 8 and 9. 6 out of 9 Rounds is simply not good enough.

Dunno how you can coach about basic schoolboy skill errors.

 

[Bucking Beads]

There isn't a right man for the job with our list. We are stuffed

Seems as though Carlton, the Doggies, Melbourne and Port Adelaide have done it pretty well in recent times.

Actually I thought this week was much better in terms of midfield structure after a couple of disastrous weeks in the middle. Nullified Gawn well too. Execution sorely lacking and we faded out a few times but the structures were better.

Really? We definitely improved from last week, but not sure that should be used as a yardstick.

 

[Schache It Off]

We improved from a 78 point defeat to a 60+

Structure is worst I've ever seen ever,
Good bye Leppa

structure looks terrible when you turn the ball over consistently, clean up the skill errors and i think we would be amazed by the improvement.

along with set shot goal kicking as well of course.

 

[Milux]

I thought are structures at times were good. We forced them into long kicks. Just couldn't hold them for 4 quarters and got exposed on the rebound.

I think leppa must regret moving on adcock and patfull. In hindsight they were really stupid decisions when you see our backline performing now.

We miss them both.

 

[CarterS]

Structure and game plan are fine for me, being let down by the skills. Whether that is a player or coaching issue, I can't say.

 

[snooplions]

Why keep him for the sake of stability when it has and will only keep us entrenched in the bottom four with no real visible signs of improvement or consistency. Gameplan is non-existent. Three years of pure shite is enough for me.

Cant say i agree. Christo has been good. Patful and adcock as ok as they are they arent going to save us. Both wont be playing next year. Christo has 6 to 7 years left.

If i was leppa id be comfortable.

patfull asked the club for a release purely for off field reasons and we agreed because of his service to the club.

adcock was offered a contract and knocked it back.

I don't know if it's laziness, lack of awareness/experience, ill-discipline or all three, but our defensive efforts in the backline are beyond a joke. Goals gifted over the back, because we refuse to 'watch' an opponent are out of control and it is an issue, week after week, after week. I can only assume the coaches ignore this in favour of hope that something else will happen. Leppitsch has to take responsibility for this. He was a great defender FFS, so there can be no excuse. Fair chance our defenders aren't up to the way he wants them to play, but he has to adjust to meet their capabilities, somewhat.

I haven't voted yet, as I was of the firm belief that it's too soon to tell, but I am being sorely tested and nearly ready to concede.

Patfull will play next year you would think. Adcock might go around as a rookie again considering how close the Bullies are to challenging.

Yep, I got until last week then went no. I think our sample size is big enough now unfortunately.

Wont be room in either club next year for them. Especially if gws keep their young backs.

What are you basing that on? Adcock is on the rookie list why wouldn't there be room for him?

Maybe. But he is only playing because of the dogs injuries. Wouldnt get a game if they are full strength.

Probably. I'm happy for him to play some finals though.

 

[Layland_brother]

Leppitsch and Mathews out

 

[ColdWarWarrior]

So if we move Leppitch on who will replace him? Its all very well saying sack the guy but we need options to bring in, who are they?

In Woewodin we trust.
