Analysis Is Leppa the Right Man for the Job?

I went to the German club next to the Gabba once.

Did you drink too much and end up eating German sausage?

Yes & No .......IN THAT ORDER!!!!!!

Vegetarian?

I went to Germany in 1979. I was 9. Sober for most of it.

Sook.

This thread is a lot better when reading from Munich after drinking litres of beer.

Crap! You don't look any further away than usual, unless you live in Munich?

When I was in Berlin the entire city was covered in scaffolding and cladding. There was a hugh TV screen, many metres high obscuring the Brandenberg Gate and the Tier Garden was roped off for a cyclist race. I cannot remember and I don't want to remember which Brisbane game I listened to in Berlin

This conversation males me smile more than any lions related conversation of late.

Hmmm. Freudian.


Not that there's anything wrong with that.

My mate is Wolfgang and he drives a bmw - surely that counts like being there.

Could've just stopped at 'my mate is Wolfgang'.

Doesn't get any more German.

Austrian.

Austrian.

German.

 

[James North]

Same thing, right.

Austrian.

Ahem.

Mozart was born in Salzburg, capital of the Archbishopric of Salzburg, a former ecclesiastical principality in what is now Austria, then part of the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation

It's a shame the Romans were never able to make that the 'Wholly Roman Empire'.

 

[alscotoz2]

The perception of a well-managed, considered and respectful process?

 

[dlanod]

Ahem.

By the end of the 18th century, the term 'Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation' had fallen out of official use. Contradicting the traditional view concerning that designation, Hermann Weisert has stated in a study on imperial titulature that, despite the claim of many textbooks, the name Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation never had an official status and points out that documents were thirty times as likely to omit the national suffix as include it.

Just read my link to where the name 'Wolfgang' is defined as a German name and we're cool.

Interesting that you'd want to support the Romans after they murdered Russell Crowes family.

Interesting. They didn't explain all of that in the documentary.

 

[James North]

Hahahaha Ira?

The board will reconvene on Monday or Tuesday after a five-hour meeting, which included coach Leppitsch’s presentation plus appearances from captain Tom Rockliff, the leadership group, list manager Peter Schwab and football manager Matt Francis.

“He took us on a three-year journey in terms of how he found the place when he first arrived, all the areas that needed to be dealt with and where the changes have been made over the three-year period,” Lions chairman Bob Sharpless said.

“(And) obviously where he saw the team over the next two to three years as well in terms of players, average games played and where we’d be positioned as a football team.

“He did a good job. Justin presents very well.”

But 14 wins from 65 outings at the helm are numbers the board will find hard to ignore.

The Lions had seven wins in 2014, four last season and three this season.

“Justin is contracted for next year but given the year we’ve had and I guess the trajectory over the three years, you can understand why we need to consider all the issues that are in play,” Sharpless said.

“The board meeting we had was an opportunity for all the directors to ask questions of all the senior people across the football club. It was quite a good session.”

Sharpless said senior players were asked about Leppitsch’s game plan, training loads and “all sorts of things” regarding this season.

Hoping Leppa has been taking notes on this thread and ends up going into the meeting with the wrong notes a la George Constanza delivering observations about Ovaltine.

"Why do they call it Germany? They seem efficient. Their science is world-class. They should call it Cleanmany. You know what I'm talking about people."
