Coach Craig McRae

[TradeDraft]

That was depressing as it gets from Korda, felt like he was speaking at a funeral....

He knows he is Gone

Straight off the bat. Mark Korda is an embarrassment for the Pies

Yeah Korda can barely get two words out without stumbling over himself or throwing a faux pas out there, but the way I look at it is that he is largely irrelevant now and my focus is firmly on the reinvigorated football department we are well on the way to rebuilding.

Wrightey with the old pre-spective again.

 

[Collingwould]

Luke Ball.

cheers, wasn't concentrating enough obviously

 

[manicmagpie]

Starting off your Collingwood coaching career by thanking Richmond?

I'm starting a 'Sack McRae' thread.

 

[gouki88]

McRae already threatening to tag Hawks players (Mitchell, I assume!) - love it!

 

[Paul.]

Spot on. Do people really want to hear our president talikng all the time again?

Exactly. If he runs the club well I don’t care how well he speaks.

 

[barrackers]

McRae on the Hawthorn playing group, love and cheer from the outside, but when we play each other "We'll probably start a few fights and tag a few"

Really like that last line!

McCraig is Born.

Loved his answer to the first question. "You're not a big name" My story, my journey. He's a triple premiership player ffs.

 

[What is a cakewalk]

As good as we can as quick as we can. Think we might hear that a bit over the next 12 months.

 

[barrackers]

McRae clearly nervous, but no umms and ahhs. Good that he can maintain composure despite the nerves.

 

[PIEWITHSAUCE]

"The players can go away now and make a choice"...........sounds like he's explained to the players how he'll go about it and told them to get on board............or not.

No I don't want him to in the media as much as Eddie, but geez it would be nice to feel excited when he announces our new coach.

#SackMcRae

Just getting in early

No doubt it won’t be long before we hear that. Probably 2min after the Rd1 team sheets are announced

But in all seriousness, I think they’ve made a very measured and sound choice. Basically the opposite of Carlton’s process.

Wright, McRae, Leppitsch (?), Tapping (?)... buoyed by the new footy dept and the shaping of the list and game plan to come

 

[SchuPie]

It’s weird listening to someone who doesn’t think every question needs a 5 minute response
Refreshing

straight to the point
Clear

let’s see how we go

 

[stormskye]

Very happy. We are starting from a long
Long way back, this is no quick fix but confident this bloke will steer us in the Wright direction

 

[Vicky Park]

I like how he speaks - humble, measured, thoughtful responses. He's not that polished, but couldn't care less about that.

 

[ThePhantom777]

Tony Jones what a flog question

 

[barrackers]

Like his humour and simple understated honesty. Acknowledges that there's areas he needs to work on and isn't a finished product.

On Clarkson mentioned that he joked with AC about getting him over to work on the stoppages.

 

[MagpieJoel]

Loved the one word response to the Lions question. "Yes".

Welcome back
Your dreams were your ticket out
Welcome back
To that same old place that you laughed about
Well, the names have all changed
Since you hung around
But those dreams have remained
And they've turned around
Who'd have thought they'd lead you
(Who'd have thought they'd lead you)
Back here where we need you?
(Back here where we need you?)
Yeah, we tease him a lot
'Cause we got him on the spot
Welcome back
Welcome back, welcome back, welcome back
Welcome back, welcome back
Welcome back
We always could spot a friend
Welcome back
And I smile when I think how you must have been
And I know what a scene
You were learnin' in
Was there somethin' that
Made you come back again?
And what could ever lead you
(What could ever lead you)
Back here where we need you?
(Back here where we need you?)
Yeah, we tease him a lot
'Cause we got him on the spot
Welcome back
Welcome back, welcome back, welcome back
Welcome back, welcome back
And I know what a scene
You were learnin' in
Was there somethin' that
Made you come back again?
And what could ever lead you
(What could ever lead you)
Back here where we need you?
(Back here where we need you?)
Yeah, we tease him a lot
'Cause we got him on the spot
Welcome back
Welcome back, welcome back, welcome back
Welcome back, welcome back
Yeah, we tease him a lot
(Welcome back, welcome back)
'Cause we got him on the spot
(Welcome back, welcome back)
Yeah, we tease him a lot
'Cause we got him on the spot
Welcome back
Welcome back, welcome back, welcome back
Welcome back, welcome back, welcome back
Welcome back, welcome back, welcome back
