Adam Kingsley appointed GWS coach

[tiger_tough]

Leppitsch and Rutten are both failed senior coaches.

Macrae hasn't even coached a full season, so who knows.

So of the 2 we can judge, they're not any good.


Pretty simple I'd have thought.

Leppitsch failed as a senior coach before he arrived. What he did for us and seems to be at Collingwood is top shelf. Won't find a better assistant. Macrae should be coach of the year...

If that's the case, I'd argue that you can win Coach of the Year and still not be a good coach.


Rutten coached Essendon from about 6 wins, to finals in his first year.

Interestingly, when Essendon made the 8 two years earlier, they had a % in the 90s!

As it turned out, that was a better indication of their performance that season than making the finals.


Not saying the same will happen to Collingwood and Macrae, but after only 22 games and with such a low %, the jury is surely still out.

My read on that was Essendon had been failing to meet expectations prior, not that Rutten had gotten them rolling.

But I digress. The proof will be in the pudding. One season down, and it's been a mighty success.

The jury will still be out until Mcrae wins a premiership, but surely couldnt have done much better so far.

Leppitsch, macrae, rutten, caracella and Kingsley all poached in the last 3 years

Look at Hawthorn from 2012 to 2018. Even had our football manager, and fitness boss poached.

So have we. One by you lot.

Yeah there must be something up with him. Some sort of flaw or maybe he is just bad at interviewing.

Hopefully it’s not a case of Yze being infected with the Suma curse.

Nah, Suma was never numero uno in the recruiting talk.

Couldn't agree more. I hope he never leaves us. Of course, he will... Such is the industry. But we'll enjoy him while we have him.

That’s quite a stretch to claim Kennedy “produced” Longmire.

Or Clarkson.

I prefer to think of them both as Schimma alumni.

Where did Hardwick come from ?

Mrs Hardwick.

And its not over yet !!

Im Expecting Teague to get the Bombers job

Probably the only ex senior coach that would be crazy enough to take the gig.

Can't see Pyke or Ross the Boss being interested.

Best of luck Adam, you take good care of her you hear...

Finally, good news.
Quietly done too. I like that.
Fingers crossed for 2023.

Mrs Hardwick.

ROAR!

Leppa is a great fella, wonderful player too.

I think coach of the year is mostly dictated by outcome vs pre-season consensus expectation. McRae is far and away doing the best in that regard, and it's not particularly close.

It is one of the easier industry awards to do based on outcome and thats why it's probably my favourite. They seem to be quite deserving winners, particularly recent years, going to side that climbed furthest up the ladder.

I think on average there's one team from outside the top 8 in the previous year that stuns the footy world and makes the top 4 (while conversely there's a top 4 team that crashes and burns to take their place outside the 8), and this year that was Collingwood.

Straight swap for Rutten

Would love him back and wouldn't be surprised at all if he did come. Was a great defensive coach for us. Not so much for bombers though

I think he’s being paid hundreds of thousands of dollars next year, so maybe he’ll take a long holiday

Maybe he'll double dip and get paid senior coach wage with assistant responsibilities. Better yet maybe he'll come back for unders. Probably wishful thinking.
