Welcome to Freo Leigh.
Interesting appointment.
Ross knows him well.
Spent the week at the club it would seem.

Certainly a strong indication Longmuir won't be Ross' replacement in the futureI wonder if he’s on a short term contract. Another sub 180cm appointment to the club. I see what Belly’s up to!
I don't know. Any ideas?So, you have a guy who watched his mate indecently assault a women, then defended his behaviour in court and we partner him up with a bloke who sexually harasses women.
What could go wrong?
I can't see him coming to Perth much at all. Enough games in Melbourne every week to keep him busy and I would imagine a phone call/email would suffice in passing along his information. Hopefully the media gig gives him a bit more access to other clubs.Not sure I’m loving him keeping media interests ongoing. Two task masters, one in Melbourne (Foxtel) and one in Perth (Freo) might be a conflict of time effort.

Also excludes Sumich so that's a massive relief.
He's tallI’d dont see the connection at all.
The paper in their hands is the script of talking points, the public respond better when they hear a former player or coach say something. That's why the women are usually hosting with a couple of players being fed a talking point.I'm convinced that most, of not all, of these analysts in the media (Kingy, Dal, Leigh et al) are merely on-air presenters and there's a raft of other analysts off air that do all the hard yards actually watching and re-watching games.
I guess Leigh will have access to the thoughts and views of everyone else at Fox which may or may not be a good thing.
Yeah they aren't looking for someone who will be Perth based. That's the point. Just see how he performs. In my ideal world this kind of position goes to a developing/emerging coach rather than a commentator. Not sure what direction Montagna will go in. Has he done any coaching training?I can't see him coming to Perth much at all.
