If North recruiting Waite means we can get our hands on Black then I'd happily say it was the recruit if the season

I think "Crazy" is a bit of an exaggeration to be honest.
Agree.
Waite has some talent, no worries about that.
It's become a bit of a cliche but maybe the old "change of environment" together with an injury free run will see him become a really good pick up for North.
Not willing to write them off yet.

Waite has been forced to play key forward for Carlton. I think his best position is as a 3rd/4th tall. I could quite easily see all of Petrie, Brown, Black and Waite lining up for North in the one side.

All up forward? Gee poor old Aaron Black would be looking for some defensive help from the mids chasing all the run out of the backline. Also thinking Hansen would then be a certain lock-in defender cannot see him much up forward if those four are fit.

Eade at the Bulldogs seemed to be a coach that players either loved or loathed. Hope he gets a few Suns players offside around trade time next year.
Don't put up with Eade's crap Charlie Dixon.

Thought senior coaching might have passed him by. Interesting decision by the Suns to go with someone who, as you say TBD, has been known to put some players off-side. Going for experience.

Definitely feels like the Suns have pulled an Angus.
Thought they had Bomber and knifed their existing guy in the frenzy.

Particularly considering the reasons around Bluey's dismissal. It seems there are quite a few modern young footballers who don't appreciate tough love and Eade is pretty tough.
I like that Angus can be a verb now.
"Jeez GC are really Angusing their club up right now.

When I think of Rodney Eade I automatically picture him screaming himself hoarse at Brian Harris-Lake.

Brendan Bolton would have been a brave call.
Would have been a media darling and a real salesman for them.

Could be wrong but didn't we enquire about Eade and got knocked back ?

IIRC he was initially keen but ended up getting the shits and signing with Collingwood when it became clear he was a clear second fiddle to Paul Roos.

Eade became our director of strategy at the end of 2011. Well before Roos was considered for Brisbane's position.
Was then moved into an admin role in the middle of 2013.

I meant to say "staying" not "signing". Still in trade period mode.
Yep, any slackers who didn't like being berated by McKenna could be in for a shock. Not that I blame coaches for doing so, but it might be a bit too old school. Players' attitudes change across generations, as they do across every walk of life, and teachers/coaches need to adjust somewhat.
Without wanting start a fresh 'gen x,y z' discussion, there are differences in how they approach situations and they in turn need some differences in approach. I think this is where Leppa sets himself apart from a lot of coaches. Far more cool, calm and collected. The whole 'laying down the law' or 'ruling with an iron fist' just doesn't wash like it used to. Finding that balance is the key and it depends a whole lot on the individual list.

Maybe some of our guys can share with some of their guys what life in Leppaland is like when they meet up at the beach etc ...

The haka might come as a bit of a surprise..
These were Bulldogs players. Aker was right. Eade probably told them to HTFU and they got shirty.
Somebody should probably get hold of him on Twitter to let him know. That's the sort of thing that would be keeping him up at night.
