while im rapt bout the new coach and his new assistants, i do feel sorry for Banger Harvey, he was on a hiding to nothing taking over from Bucks, with a bunch of kids an still major injuries. He did his best, and from all ive read about him, hes a really nice guy. I wish him well, whatever he does now.

Im grateful to Harvey for 10 years service. You dont make grand finals without a very good coaching group. In the end he was never going to get the role having worked closely with Bucks - just not "enough change" which he knew. It is time for him to move on. The current coaching candidates have proven you need a variety of roles / experience.
Wish him all the best. Was a favorite player to watch and his gut running changed the game.

Previous affiliation to the club as VFL coach for several years.
Assistant coach at the Lions, where they've been strong for a few years.
Very well liked at the club. |
Dale was a very successful TAC coach renown for player development. His stint with us was really good with not a bad word said about him leading him to be poached to Brisbane. I actually think he was good enough to be a senior coach in his own right. IF we could get him, this would be a fantastic outcome.

This is bit like the old saying that you can’t make an omelette without breaking eggs. Give Buckley his due. He almost pulled off a premiership in 2018. The others including Harvey and Sanderson contributed their bit as well and deserve to be praised, not vilified. We as supporters of the club should wish all three well in their future endeavors and hope they find fulfillment in whatever they decide to do.
When you think about it this is an ideal opportunity for Craig McRae in his first senior coaching job. The slate is wiped clean. Buckley was on a hiding to nothing starting at the top, taking over from a master coach. When you’re on top the expectation is to stay on top, but really there’s only one way to go if you don’t win it and that’s down. McRae starts on the bottom with the expectation that’s we’re not going anywhere next year. Added to that McRae doesn’t carry the burden of being an ex-Collingwood captain and legend of the club. I think I’d rather be in McRae’s shoes than those of Buckley.
I think there’s a sense we can repeat history here. Our last two premiership coaches arrived in highly unusual circumstances and left in unusual circumstances. Matthews took over the shambles of a football club with a entirely new list unable to recruit a name player because the club was broke. He then wins a premiership in short time and gets himself sacked by the President who said he had the job for life.
Malthouse takes over the club after we win our second wooden spoon. He takes over from an ex-captain and club legend who got dumped into the job without any assistant coaching experience. Within a couple of years we’re competing for a premiership which we finally land in 2010. Then Malthouse is pushed into a new position of director of coaching to work with the new coach, who has an entirely different personality and philosophy, a guy who Malthouse would never have personally chosen to succeed him. That of course quickly falls apart and the rest is history.
Now McRae is in a similar situation as Matthews and Malthouse. He can forge his own premiership career as a senior AFL coach of the greatest and most famous football club in Australia. He has essentially a young list he can mould, a few aging stars who hopefully can go another couple of years and a panel of assistant coaches of his choosing, apart from Selwood and Skipworth. I wish him well and look forward to how he coaches over his senior coaching journey. |

i actually dont think we will do as badly next year as some seem to think, we only got trashed right at the end of the year when we had a lot of big stars out.
im excited for the future.
i really do feel for Harvey though, he does seem like a good bloke.

JUSTIN Leppitsch has accepted a new role under incoming coach and good mate Craig Macrae at Collingwood. My understanding is Leppa will have a strategy portfolio with a focus on defence that will see him work across the opposition and analytics departments, among others. |

In those 2002 2003 years mcrae from reports from the brisbane players was the toughest player in the team played as forward but also mid and on baller too. He loved the tough game was the in and under type and was in everything.Was a very handy goal sneak too and was a sharp shooter. But he loved the ball and got alot of it. Very under rated player and could have won Norm Smith twice.
Leppa the tough nut down back as i remember him. Played as the tough Center half back nothing got past him and booming kick.
Both tough. |

The feeling here (I’ve got it) that we are with all stars aligning an era of success which after our recent disappointments is exciting
Wright with his own off field team may make us a destination club
Players may want to jump aboard the bus to fortune and glory
