Coach Who Should Our Next Coach Be (Poll Updated)

[BringouttheGimp]

Now that we've got our coach organised.. when do I get my 'Coll BF poster of the yr' award?

 

[unplugged]

Tapping, Graham, Teague available amongst a few seemingly available assistants.

Essendon looking for at least 2.

Hopefully we can sew our coaching panel up soon if we haven't already

 

[Dead Eye Didak]

Tapping is coming home, Pies have spoken to him.

I have heard Tapping is wanting to return to Melbourne, so l imagine if he joins as a senior assistant, then Leppa will be full-time list manager.

I think Teague is joining the Tigers coaching panel

hearing Sanderson and Harvey out.
25 afl assistant coaches are currently unsigned next year

Harvey has an offer by WC, if he didn't get the full-time gig, according to some reports...

More than happy if Leppa joins as senior assistant. But as list manager, did we not learn our lessons from appointing a total noob in Ned Guy? Someone with experience please.

Just finished feeding all the data into my supercomputer.
The results are in:
Clarko to take the year off…send emoji thank you to Kennett every pay day.
Ross the Toss to coach Carlton.
McRae to coach Collingwood.
I will have a cheese toastie & cappuccino for breakfast.

Clarko ✔
McRae ✔
Lyon soon to be a ✔
That will be 3 out of 3 predicted 10 days ago…
My supercomputer never fails.
Toot toot…toot toot.

No one thinks this. Come on.

Alas, there’s a few on here who will be waiting to snipe away if we lose a few early games under McRae. The usual suspects who screamed blue murder whenever anyone dared to criticise Buck’s coaching. If they had their way he would have been extended for another 10 years.

At least make it a little more realistic- photoshop madge?

 

[jackcass]

Interesting that he was never in the frame for the Adelaide or North Melbourne positions. The panel have either unearthed a gem or outsmarted themselves.

Did he apply for either position?

"We have really cocked up"??

Buckley was a great coach in a shit system, every aspect was shot from the day he walked in the door.

Interesting interview - his earliest senior coach was Mark Williams!

Former Brisbane triple premiership player Craig McRae is set to be appointed Collingwood coach later this week and is poised to bring his former teammate Justin Leppitsch with him to the coaching team.
McRae has been recommended by the Magpies’ coaching selection panel for the job, with their decision to be ratified after the full board meets with McRae later this week. Other details, including his contract if he is offered the job, are also to be finalised.

Sources said McRae was eager to have his former premiership teammate and ex-Brisbane Lions senior coach Leppitsch join him at the Magpies as a senior assistant. Leppitsch and McRae also worked together as assistant coaches at Richmond in their premiership years.
Collingwood has been determined not only to find a senior coach, but to construct a coaching panel of complementary talents. Current assistant coach Hayden Skipworth is likely to remain on the Magpies’ coaching panel, along with assistant Scott Selwood who is contracted for 2022.

Caretaker coach Robert Harvey and former Adelaide senior coach Brenton Sanderson are unlikely to remain at the club.
Collingwood football director Paul Licuria told The Age when they began the search for a new coach that they would cast the net wide and not be limited to chasing a big name experienced coach.
He said he was very attracted to the idea of unearthing a “Luke Beveridge-type” who had served a long apprenticeship, had enjoyed success, had worked with young players, and fostered strong relationships. McRae fits that bill as a Luke Beveridge type.
McRae, whose nickname is “Fly”, was previously a development coach at Collingwood and has strong advocates internally for his appointment after his time there.
Since finishing playing, the now 47-year-old has spent more time as a development than a line coach. He has had extensive experience in development at Collingwood and Richmond and this reflects the Magpies’ direction with a young group in a rebuilding team.

McRae has also coached his own team, leading Richmond ’s VFL team to a flag in 2019 and a grand final in 2017.
He was a line coach at Richmond in 2020 before moving to Hawthorn to work under Alastair Clarkson at the end of the 2020 season, coincidentally recruited there by current Collingwood football manager Graham Wright.
As reported by The Age on August 27, McRae was the clear front-runner for the role after West Coast assistant Jaymie Graham was informed he was no longer in contention. Former Lions coach Michael Voss and Richmond assistant Adam Kingsley were also on that final short list.
“The school teacher training is good training now for any kind of management type of role,” McRae’s former coach Leigh Matthews told 3AW recently.
“If you’d asked me when ‘Fly’ (McRae) was in his 20s would Fly be a senior coach one day, I would have said probably not. There’s about half a dozen players I could name before that.

“A lot of the things that make you an alpha male champion player are just things that are of no value - they’re almost negatives - when you become a senior coach.
“I think Fly is a coach of the modern era in his general personality.”
The Magpies are also searching for a new high-performance coach after long-time conditioning coach Kevin White moved to North Melbourne.
McRae had immediately impressed the Magpies coaching panel but they waited until the end of the season to ascertain the plans of Alastair Clarkson and Don Pyke before finalising their decision.

By my count that means he’s worked for or been coached by 6 premiership coaches (Clarkson, Hardwick, Malthouse, Matthews, Walls and Williams) plus swooper Northey. It’s actually quite incredible how much success he’s been a part of.

And Bellamy. Best NRL coach in recent times.

Very true! There are no guarantees in sport and life, but if there were an assistant coach that knows what a winning culture looks like then it’s McRae.

Interesting reading this with the benefit of hindsight.

The article was written by Michael Gleeson a few days after Buckley's departure.

The Hawthorn coach Collingwood should look at to replace Buckley

There’s an assistant coach at Hawthorn who the Magpies should speak to in their coaching search. Spoiler alert, it’s not who you think.

Sorry if this has been mentioned, but just looking at the rumour/news today that McRae is coming onboard. I'm reasonably happy with this but the news about Leppitsch coming with me is concerning.

Does anyone else remember the incident in Brisbane where he allegedly had a player in a head lock/choke hold? I can't seem to find it on line. Maybe I'm searching the wrong terms. I used to have a great Lions source back in the Voss/Leppitsch coaching era and the word I had from inside the club is the bloke is toxic. I'm willing to give him a second chance, he seems to have done good things since leaving butam, concerning.

Thoughts?

Robert Walls and Barassi regularly physically abused players and both were successful coaches.
The club said they spoke to many people who had worked with or under the prospective coaches so off there was any truth to the suggestion I think the club would know exactly what happened and why it happened.

Once again we are referred to as the "biggest club" in the AFL. Suck it up tiger fans.

Not minding the fact he's a short arse.

 

[The Phantom]

Well worth a listen to gain insight into McRae and get a glimpse of what his interview might have been like.
Some positive ideas anyone can take into their own life, sport or business.
Great stuff.

Whos on the market ? any idea?

I’m happy to say that I won’t be doing any sniping.
Will back the new coach 100%.

 

[BringouttheGimp]

As long as he's not another Scott.. I'll be happy.. a record of 9/14 in finals.

A game plan that gets found out when it matters the most.
