Welcome to Collingwood Justin Leppitsch & Brendon Bolton

[BazBoy]

Exactly. Leppa gave her wraps and purely as a person I don’t see coaching material

A female may well coach AFL but that’s off a ways

[BazBoy]

🤪🤪🤪🤪Maybe Scum should try. The blokes are steering clear

Enright going to Saints - Kinda makes sense. I mean Leppa is taking the backline which Id have thought was Enright's specialty. Hopefully Tapping is still a chance.

[BazBoy]

I think there will be more coaches as when he chatted on 360 and was discussing Leppa and Bolton he mentioned “ Bolton will keep us straight and the other coaches that will come”

[RudeBoy]

I must say I was mightily impressed by McRae's interview with Gerard Whateley. He comes across as a thoroughly down to earth and decent bloke, but also very professional and switched on. Only time will tell, but fwiw (which is not much at all) I'm feeling very confident that we have recruited the right man for the job.

We have Leppa and Bolts along with Fly —all over the last decade involved with success

I was just watching Todd Viney (Jacks dad) and his take on Goodwin who he remarked was successful building a good culture at Melbourne

A lot is spoken and emphasis placed on culture in modern day AFL so if this is fact we have three who know what good culture is and how to achieve it

Add that all are strong on teaching good habits to compliment it will be an engrossing future

[RudeBoy]

Culture is fundamental, but it needs to be built from the bottom up as much as from the top down. While coaches play an important part, it's just as, if not more important, for it to be driven by the players themselves. In 1990 we had players like Tony Shaw and Darren Millane driving a tough and competitive team culture and in 2010 team spirit was driven by the ratpack of Swanny, Daisy, Heater and Johnno and hard work and discipline by Maxwell. More than anything, we now need a new generation of player-leaders like JDG, Adams, Grundy, Moore and Crisp to take it upon themselves to drive a strengthened culture of mateship and fierce competitiveness.

[BazBoy]

RudeBoy. That’s absolutely right ✔️

My school motto at Nt Fitzroy Central was. “Nil Sin Labore”

Nothing is gained without effort

[Piethagoras' Theorem]

If you told me 5 years ago that Leppitsch and Bolton would play a major role in assisting our next Premiership, I probably would've laughed at you. Their senior coaching record was a combined 133 games for just 30 wins
I realise there are many more factors to consider when judging a senior coach but I'm sure that would've been an asterisk on their cv. Well done to both!
