Poor campaigner. On a hiding to nothing after reading this emotional clap trap.

We need to get Fagan's Roster Watch thread up

It's on the list of things to do

My look has been curiously sated.

Good to see him stamping out the victim mentality that was deployed to the media and around the club last year.

It was a stratagy emoloyed to try and save Leppa and for Leigh to try to save face, so toxic, culturally crippling and unsustainable.

 

[Old Den]

Not hard if one is on the other end of the leash.

 

[Crusha]

Funny place for it ......but OK, I guess, when you have a second one .....

Eh, he's just going to be fired in three years.

 

[lioninthesand]

As an example of how Beveridge approaches things, he mentioned last night on On the Couch that after games the players bring a boombox (if that's what it is called) into the rooms, turn off the lights and blast a few choruses of whatever moves them.

I loved the part where after the Eagles win he had all the coahes around him and he thanked them from the coaches, staff and fans for the effort - he didnt say 'we did it'.. he basically just handed the praise over to the players, loved that bit of psychology.

I think we have the right people in Noble and Fagan in charge but there is an awful lot of hyperbole and exaggeration going on.

Talk of us being led to the Promised Land is just silly.

For myself, I remain cautiously optimistic but I think we are in for more pain in he short term at least.

Of course we are in for more pain, however I think most fans are just excited about how succinctly Fagan and Noble have summed up the task at hand.

Fans can handle the short term pain if it feels like it is building towards something in the medium to long term. It got me excited about supporting the Lions again rather than it feeling like a burden.

Round one is 6 months away, now is the time to be excited as a Lions fan!

Yeah, there are no guarantees that the outcomes will match their stated intentions, but I think it's ok for people to feel positive or upbeat about the appointments. The messages they have delivered so far seem inherently logical and even encouraging because they sound like they have a good grasp of what needs to change and how to go about that. Will it be successful? Who knows, but there's nothing wrong with a bit of optimism after a really shite year.

I was also very impressed when in another interview Fagan said that he may not be around for the next Lions premiership, although he hopes he is, but one of his goals is to make sure that he sets the club up for one.

Thats where I'm at as well. I remember the back patting when Leppa was appointed... I'll wait and see before I fully jump onto the bandwagon but as I said earlier Noble and Fagan are miles ahead of Leppa IMO. They have been in successful clubs so should know what is reQuired to get this crap sorted.

 

[Lion for Life]

Whilst i agree that its sensible to not get too ahead of ourselves with expectation i would disagree with the comparisons to the Leppa appointment where most i felt were underwhelmed due to the clubs failure to secure the services of Paul Roos and Leppa was just a rushed replacement when the club had no visible back up plan.

This time around was a lot more methodical about where the club sees itself and the type of experienced personnel it needs to bring it back from the brink and to that end i think through Fagan and Noble they have two guys that present as far more professional and competent than Leppa and Francis ever did.

Yeah I tend to agree a bit... I understand the optimism but. There's a level of credibility here with these appointments we haven't had before and I think that's letting most of us dare to dream again.

The one line that jarred with me was "we won't be measuring wins and losses"... wouldn't normally raise an eyebrow but given we just sacked a coach after using that same hyperbole it just seemed a little hypocritical.

Still it's hard as hell not to smile when you can just tell that there will be a seismic shift in culture coming if nothing else.

Didn't Leppitsch say something similar throughout his tenure as senior coach?

 

[WhiteLionFeva]

Well he got the first part right.

I think what did Leppa in was less the "wins and losses" and more the character of the losses. Plenty of measureables mentioned in four quarter efforts, quarters won, scores conceded. Get them improving, and the wins will follow.

 

[Roylion]

Well he got the first part right.

And just like Fagan, one of Leppitsch's goals was to make sure that he set the club up for their next premiership. I guess we'll know in three years time how successful he was in doing that.

 

[Viceregal]

Eh, he's just going to be fired in three years.

If the team is still on <5 wins for the sixth straight year, getting blown away by 80-100 points, percentage <70, massive player discontent, internal club disunity, still considered a joke by the other teams, Gabba a nice place to visit etc ... then probably yes!

Any and every coach would take the very same position given the state of the club

And Vossy before Leppa. Someone has to be right eventually.
