Getting good people in to realign the club in the right direction. Wright, McRae and Leppitsch, and hopefully Tapping, will go along way to getting us back into finals...
I wonder if it'll be some sort of hybrid list management / coaching role.
Assistant premiership coach?
Right, so sounds like he won't be list manager. Is GW going to continue to fill this role, or do we think we are going to hire someone else?
Listening to the conversation my take was that it will be a higher level role than a line coach. I could be wrong but that's how it came across.
Don't understand your question bud
Great news, really good hire. Also very happy to hear he's not coming in as the list manager.
In the short term it will be GW & Hine looking after this area through the trade and draft period. Sounds like he wants to sort out whatever mess is left from last year and then they'll look at that area of the club in the new year. Obviously you'd imagine that McRae will have some involvement or input here as well.
Wrighty and Hine to get us through the trade and draft periods, then appoint a new list manager next year.....
Sounds like Wrighty wants fix any outstanding salary cap issues, and have the new LM to come in with a clean slate to work with...

That's the gist I'm getting to. He's a great hire for our backline - great defensive mind.

He lets slip? McRae has the gigI'm not really sure where to put this but Harvey's insights are what they are. Worth a listen re thoughts on list profile, DeGoey and the future.
Ex-Collingwood caretaker Robert Harvey (1/9/21)
Why he's content with the legacy he has left for the young players at Collingwood, why he wanted the Pies to play with more dare, Jordan De Goey's best position, his coaching future after nine weeks in a senior role, whether he's spoken to Carlton, and more.player.whooshkaa.com

Sorry mate, didn't read into it too much, all good....
If l was Coxy, definitely be exploring my options, imagining there wouldn't be too many however...
Pretty sure it's already been reported in a few outlets.

Official club announcement or educated guesses from nosey reporters? . does look like he has the gig though...

I'm also happy Leppa is apparently coming aboard but I've seen a bit of this and it does make me wonder what the difference is between Buckley hiring a good friend, former teammate and former senior coach of another club as assistant (Boo! Jobs for mates!) and McRae hiring a good friend, former teammate and former senior coach of another club as assistant (Yay! Fresh blood! New thinking!).
Wasn't the club announcing McRae as coach at 12pm today? The YT link Jen posted yesterday indicated so.

For his sake I hope it’s not Paiges tweet…
It's been confirmed from several sources that all candidates other than Craig have been told they aren't getting the gig.

I share some of this concern but at least it’s a new set of mates and they come from clubs which have been successful.
The AFL is a small world and appointments are often made on the basis of friendships and connections (Gubby Allen says hi). The problems arise when the appointees are not right for the job. So far, those linked with Collingwood and McRae appear to have the right experience and background.
