Not unhappy about that. I don't rate him as a senior coach but he was pretty highly rated as an assistant at the Bulldogs and Hawthorn before his time at GWS.

I don't have a lot of say in that unfortunately (some, but not a lot).

taking a football department role similar to what Alan Richardson has done at Melbourne since he left the Saints. I just don't see which of our coaches are likely to leave or be let go. Unless Cox heads back West or Pyke gets the Essendon job.

Personally I'd be pretty happy with that though as S120 said, more a management role than coaching.

I wonder how that would be structured.
I like how things are, though Horse has said many times that we are seriously stretched so I can see that an additional resource could be valuable.
I guess Leon has settled in Sydney.

I don't see how that can be anything but a good thing. You don't get to be a head coach without being able to coach multiple areas competently so that would give great flexibility. He's had the wood over us in finals so maybe he can help out there.
Don Pyke has been really positive for us so here's hoping it's another layer

Perhaps Charlie Gardiner is moving on...

or dare to dream - Tom Harley replacing Gil at the top and Gardiner into his role.

I wondered that too!
Was pretty sure Gale was a shoo in for Gil's job but you never know.
I have no idea if Leon would be a good replacement for Charlie who seems to work well with everyone.
Either way, interesting times!

Its was just a quick comment after the 20 seconds they spent on GWS's new coach.

After the mandatory 20 minutes they spent discussing the trainwreck at that 'souless windsept hole' that is Tullamarine.

If I'm being totally honest, I don't know if we deserved one. We haven't had a single stand-out player all year - Mills probably the closest, and Heeney in terms of being the best in the comp in his position (and both were named in the actual team anyway, so there's that.)

I feel like we're such an even team across the field that we aren't reliant on one player to dominate. Our best players could look different on any given week and I think that's our strength. I'd rather have that and win a flag than have a bunch of players winning individual accolades in a team not functioning all that great.

i agree with that for sure ... but it's more that it's one more sign of how we seem to be overlooked generally by the media
unless it's when we lose a game we're expected to win, and then they love jumping on

 

[Millky95]

Both our 2005 and 2012 teams only had 2 players named in the AA side

 

[Maximumlnsanity]

Florent being asked if he liked Bon Jovi and Florent saying "no I hate Italian food" is deadset one of the funniest things I have ever heard still to this day.

**** I forgot about that absolute classic
