I think this aspect is really important. Matthews would be invaluable as a Senior Adviser type for Leppa during the first few years. He won't want to run the show, but will be happy to assist.
Judging Craig as a senior coach based on his time at Melbourne is a nonsense I agree. No preseason and he was a short term coach. He was never going to get Melbourne playing the brand of footy he wanted.

2 and half years under Leigh Matthews as well, plus the year under Voss where Brisbane made the second week of the finals. Any reason why you left that stuff out...?
The appointment is a interesting choice. While most Lions supporters will be jumping up and down I'm going to wait and see what will happen with Leppa as Senior Coach. I will be honest the club has been a mess for a while and I'm hoping by next season that we address the issues around the board and young players leaving.
Where he completely transformed our backline from a rabble into an excellent defensive unit.......

The guy was an absolute champion on the field. Underrated IMO and at his best on a par or perhaps just below with SOS and Matty Scarlett as one of the best defenders ever.
Have no idea if he can coach but has runs on the board as an assistant.

I think he'd be stupid not to. Brisbane had the worst free-kick differential in the league in 2011, 2012 and 2013. I remember reading that they'd received over 300 less free kicks than West Coast over the last two years!! It's clearly an area they need to work on.
Interesting stat. Maybe the answer lies in getting more fans to the Gabba for games.

From all reports he's done an outstanding job at Richmond and has played a huge role in the development of Alex Rance. Since he's been at Richmond, they've improved every year.

Fair point actually. I'm sure there is a strong correlation between a vocal home crowd and free Kicks earned.

He's clearly trolling in a pathetic attempt to kick the club while they're down. He's probably still trying to get over Sydney's pathetic effort on the weekend.
Congratulations to Justin , Fantastic appointment
He has done a great job at richmond alongside Dimma and the other coaches , I wish him well and hope he is successful at the Lions which have a good amount of youngsters coming through and justins just the man they can look upto.
Good Club but Crap mods on here

Despite my condemnation of how he personally treated Akermanis, I think he is just the pudendum that Brisbane needs, and I would have nominated him as Matthews' natural successor, in preference to Voss. Leppitsch was an exquisite footballer, who occasionally panicked unnecessarily whilst playing, due to lack of awareness and overconfidence. Make of that what you will. He is not the brightest light in the chandelier, but does have the charismatic ability to attract talented people around him.

At least Leppa has assistant coaching experience. Voss thought he was above all that.

The club is the AFL version of the Titanic. Once the AFL stopped propping up the list with a bigger salary cap, the appeal of living and playing in Brisbane diminished immeasurably. The only player of note that Brisbane could attract ended up being a drunken disaster.
The reported desire of so many recent top drafts looking to get out, for whatever reason doesn't exactly change this impression of the club. Whether it's got to do with the club, the clubs personnel, the city, whatever.........something drastic has to change up there if they want to get back to where they were a decade ago.

Wasn't Matthews a assistant before taking over mid season?
