Coach Craig McRae

[Soups]

Coach of the year.

Coach of the year.

Nah the fckwits on the fox footy panel said it's Longmire or maybe Scott

 

[frizzle]

I'm so stoked he is ours. We are in such good hands.

 

[ksardog]

Had a great year, but may look back at having Cameron start in the ruck ahead of Cox and think, what if

How brave of them to go out on a limb and argue that the two coaches of the grand finalists are the contenders for COTY. Astonishing insights, really.

FMD!

100 percent agree and some of our matchups down back cox is a good ruckman

Probably thought Mason was more the dangerous forward to start with. I think Cameron needs to have a look at his attack on the contest & would have disappointed Fly considering what was at stake today. For his size he isn't hard enough at the footy.

I hope he's not cursed without a proper key forward for his entire tenure.

This is the exact reasong i wanted Cox to start and for Krueger to play. I want a contest at all times

Yeah fair point.

Heard they both going back to Richmond hope I am wrong

 

[Magnanimous]

Thanks for the great year Fly.
Enjoy the next week, soak it in.
Reflect on the deadwood that needs to be cut and let’s load the **** up this trade period and get back on that horse in 2023.

Unfinished business.

From second last to a point away from the GF, well done McRae you absolute ripper.

Great start, McCrae - now let’s build something really special!

Yeah I'd have Brad Scott as coach of the year.
He's coached the umpires well to farq us over this finals series.

 

[domus]

McRae is a special man. I watched his presser and he has you believing all over again. I think Dean, Frampton and McStay can relieve some of the pressure in our back half where we are constantly undersized.

 

[PonsfordMagpie]

We are blessed to have him.

Today is very disappointing, but I sense great things in the future with him at the helm.

 

[LuckyLee]

McRae, Leppa, Bolton and the whole extended coaching panel have done a magnificent job.

So too our fitness and conditioning staff. We’ve never run out games as strongly as we have this year. That’s not a fluke - our fitness staff have lifted our fitness and endurance standards to league-best levels.

Well done to all and Thank You!

You have a keeper.

Got about 2 minutes into Longmires press conference and couldn’t anymore. Might just be me but he comes across as smug.

This. The assistant coaches had a lot of responsibility this year, and they were fantastic. This included game day, when Fly delegated to them while he coached from the boundary.

As for our fitness staff - Mr Park, in commiserating with me after the game - talked about our amazing last quarters. We ran out games better than any other team this year. As you note, those games were not flukes.

Took a long time to nail the matchups down back.

This is the exact reason i wanted Cox to start and for Krueger to play. I want a contest at all times

Yep, definitely should have picked Kreuger or Henry to be a marking target instead of Bianco.

No change is nice and all, but you have to be ruthless to win flags and Bianco was the wrong selection for the ground/matchup.

On the plus side, moving Nick upfield nearly won us the game.

This guy has been coaching this team for wins week to week this season, but more importantly, he has been coaching this team for future years as well. His development of the club's culture has been outstanding and it was probably unrealistic to expect such fast and strong growth. I am elated that Fly is our club's coach. Long may he reign.

17th to 4th?
A ****teenth from 1st or 2nd?
With minimal list changes?
There’s no argument really.
