The Brisbane Lions today, shocked the football world after Justin Leppitsch was replaced as head coach of The Lions. It is believed that there is no ill will on from either side of the camp at this point in time.
Leppitsch was asked what he would do now that he was no longer senior coach and he stated "I might take a year off to see if this is still something I want to pursue." The lions made the following statement "We want to thank Justin for his time and effort as coach here at The Lions, and he will always be one of our favourite sons. However, at this point in time we both felt that it would be best for both parties to separate before any issues began to surface."
The Lions continued to name an unknown coach in Hairy Gamer. While little was know about him before the press conference, more is known now. Gamer was asked what made him the right candidate for the job to which he responded "Well for one, I grew up bleeding the club and colours. There is nothing I wouldn't do to see this club as great as it once was. While I may have never played in the AFL, I have spent countless years studying the art of coaching."
One reporter inquired as to where Gamer sees the list "Honestly we have been at the bottom end for quite some time now. We know we have some really quality players in Beams, Rocky, Rich and a few other boys through the middle. Our main issues are depth and at ether end. This year I plan to find out a lot about this list and see where we are really at come seasons end."
When asked how he plans to do that, Gamer responded "Well we are going to play those players. The ones we don't know about, they will be picked first. The blokes we know can play, well they will fill in the gaps. This may not be an easy year, but it is the only way to truly evaluate where we stand. I'll tell you all this as well, expect major changes in the off season as well."
Certainly some interesting comments from The Lions new head coach. We will be watching very eagerly to see if this tactic works for the lions.
