And, well...I think there's a good feeling. He was totally in control in the NAB and well, 3-0. The media were all clamouring for him to begin then...the calls died down as the club simply ignored it. But I think he can really coach. The challenge now is to develop and improve the group to a point where we're a serious contender.
And as an aside...his background...coached by Blight, Craig at Adelaide (much better than Craig at Melbourne), Thompson at Essendon, Roos at Melbourne...that's a huge pedigree. Only Caracella better at the moment IMO with Matthews, Malthouse, Thompson and Scott...and he's not even a senior coach!
