We need a modern coach

[AkerMcManus]

It's obvious we lag behind other clubs when it comes to the strategies of modern football. Talent has taken us to two premierships, but now with the list on the wane, I think we should give some serious consideration to picking up a Terry Wallace or a Rodney Eade. Matthews is a good motivator and was right for our club at the time, but his time is now up, unfortunately.

His time is up?

Gee, that's great respect for the man who delivered you 2 premierships and hasn't missed a finals series since coming to Brisbane.

One finals loss and your already calling for a new coach?!

Ungrateful and spoilt.

Sack him????

Pffftt.

Much as I hate agreeing with a Collingwood supporter, Nick is right.

Well played by the Pies, Nick.

Better side on the night won. Simple as that.

I agree with what you just said, Nick.
AkerMcManus - I think you're just being a little bit to harsh on Leigh.

Terry Wallace is only good at ripping the heart out of the club and screwing it up for the next poor bastard to come along. He stuffed the Doggies with bad trades.

Rodney Eade was sacked from Sydney because he had lost any idea and new thinking and the rest of the comp new it.

If you want a new coach look to Gary O'Donnell, Harvey from Essendon, Choko Royal. These are all blokes who might not of coached at AFL level yet but will and will be good coaches. Sometimes you need to take a punt on a fresh coach look at Sydney - Roos has killed 'em there this year, Connolly has done well since start off at Freo and Worsfold has done well at WC.

Wake up and realise why those blokes are out of a job. The club can't afford to be stupid about it and have another coach who they'll have to sack in 18months time.

Lethal's there for the next few years. End of question.

Just can't believe that someone would even think something as STUPID as this!! It's embarrassing to even have this thread on the forum! Look at where lethal has taken the club over the years he's been with us! and even though we've got so many injury concerns at the moment we almost took out the in form side of the competition on Saturday! to say that it was the fault of the coach is plain ignorance.

AckerMcManus you're nick should be IgnoramUS!!

OK, thats great. Get a "modern" coach into Brisbane. Why dont you pick up Mark Williams who cant get his side up in the finals, he's a "modern" coach. Look at the "modern" coaches at Richmond and St Kilda, they're doing a fantastic job at their respective clubs.

Look at Kevin Sheedy, he has been at Essendon for decades. He has got Essendon playing damn good football at the right time, he, I dont think, is what you refer to as being a "modern" coach. Its new players that you need. Brennan, Hadley, McGrath, Notting, etc are the future for Brisbane, give them time. It was disappointing that Headland went back to WA, he really gave you guys something up forward last year.

So dont get stuck into the coach, I'm sure that a team like Melbourne or Richmond would love to have Leigh Matthews as coach.

Lethal needs more support than what you ppl are giving him.

Huh??? I read it as 1 against, 9 for (make that 10 - me).

Lethal is the best thing ever to happen to Queensland Football (maybe apart from Vossy) since the Bears began at Carrara.

I think AkerMcManus had a point with something, and I think 5AASUX touched on it -

The only thing I think we can say Lethal has been guilty of this year is playing injured players. I don't know is that old fashioned? I'm not old enough to remember the VFL, but maybe football clubs then didn't have the depth they do now, which has come as a result of being able to pull talent from all over Australia through the draft and so on. Maybe Lethal is still stuck in the past and thinks that the best 22 have to do the job because the rest are all crap. Who knows maybe they are all crap, but none of us know for sure cos we've never seen them tested at the highest level. More pointedly, maybe they are crap but would be better had they been tested at the highest level more often.
