Leppa sacked

[Bucking Beads]

Makes me laugh thinking back to all the people who complained he never showed enough emotion as a coach... he's one of the most explosive blokes going around. Personally I'm surprised he didn't blow a valve being a coach...

He's a very passionate man. Sometimes passion turns into aggression. He's been hurt by what has happened to his coaching career and has an axe to grind. I doubt he wanted to drop Barrett but I reckon he would have loved to shirt front him to see if he wet himself.

Not so sure about that

 

[Bucking Beads]

Not so sure about that

I'd hope not. He's got a young family. It could potentially ruin his life if he dropped a bloke like that.

Embarrassed to see former champions of the club behave this way.

At the risk of attracting your ire, don't agree at all. Just confirms my opinion, which, TBH, was fixed after "chokegate".

Belting a journo or a journeyman footballer achieves what? Except maybe to diminish job opportunities.







Seriously Vossy and Charmo, you should know better.

 

[Hollow Knight]

It was a joke Tassie.

 

[Schraderbrau]

Probably highlights what a terrible appointment Leppa was. Dud bloke.

Pretty sure this is the opposite of what most people were thinking after reading that article. #sackbarrett

 

[Fatcat08]

Given how the media like to report things it probably was closer to leppa going over to tell him he wasn't please, discussion ensued, got a little heated verbally and charmo and Voss walked over tapped leppa on the shoulder and said forget about it mate let's go. That would be enough for the media to portray it as restraining

Pretty sure most people thinking like you are probably tools!

Barretts version, starts about 1 minute 45 seconds in. intimated he was sober and Leppa was pissed. storm in a teacup?

[SRH17]

Does Leppa get a forum to give his version of events. In life I have learnt that are three sides to every story - his, Leppa's and somewhere in the middle lies the truth.

 

[James North]

Haha

I was being accused of things I didn't .... like.

Didn't mention a fight?

 

[Scubaveg]

Trying to smack Damo one makes him a dud bloke?

Trying to smack anyone makes one a did bloke!

 

[James North]

Leppa back at the Tigers.

 

[jackess]

I'm sure they're looking forward to him applying what he learnt at the Lions to their up and coming side.

 

[Milk Steak]

Leppa back at the Tigers.

Good for him. He'll probably be a better assistant having to concentrate on a smaller area of the game

 

[Milk Steak]

Leppa back at the Tigers.

He already looks younger there...

 

[CarterS]

Richmond assembling a decent coaching panel. Hope we can too.

 

[DrMike]

Said it plenty of times on your board, I hope he comes back to us in some capacity. Victim of circumstance at your club. Best of luck.

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[acuguy]

Thank god, can close this thread. He isn't relevant to us anymore.

 

[CarterS]

Will he be booed at the Gabba?

 

[notting18]

Will he be booed at the Gabba?

Why? He wanted to stay and we sacked him.

 

[James North]

Will he be booed at the Gabba?

He'll be standing in the coaches box, so not likely.

 

[Jivlain]

Will he be booed at the Gabba?

Think it would be particularly class-less if he was.

 

[CarterS]

Goodes was booed at the Gabba so wouldn't be surprised.
