Coach Craig McRae

[Babylove]

See ya Sando!

Happy days!

Sounds like he’s finishing up as an assistant but he may stay on in another capacity, though no details about what that looks like.

 

[MagpieJoel]

Love for Cox

He taught him to kick. They caught up a few years back and had a photo. That's all that is about.

 

[Vicky Park]

He is nervous, but he's good at using humour to defuse some of the awkward questions/moments.

 

[South of the Yarra]

I am bloody excited

 

[AmericanMustard]

Closed questions get closed answer. Love that. Gonna make journos work for every bit of information they want

 

[Kirby]

Is Sanderson staying or going?

No longer an assistant coach but they are exploring other possible roles at the club.

 

[barrackers]

He is nervous, but he's good at using humour to defuse some of the awkward questions/moments.

Read a few reports that previous players like him, I can see why. Think we've got a good one here.

 

[johncitizen]

His first 3 words.
"I'm pretty pumped"

 

[tranquilli lace]

Consider me impressed. He's no-nonsense I sense quite a hard-edge to him. And he ain't going to suffer fools (like Tony Jones).

 

[Yidaki]

"I think I have Bucks shirt on".

Savage lol.

 

[Billys Back]

McRae??

doesn't get much better than this!

 

[jimmy35]

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.

Haha yeah he was pretty ordinary. Hopefully we don’t hear much media from him though.

 

[piemad1]

Like what he said, seems like he won't tolerate poor application. Seems like he won't put up with lack of effort. Wants to be strong in the contest.

Tony Jones what a flog question

Expert anything more from Jurno's?

 

[Horaceg]

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

Absolutely, yes and no are perfectly acceptable answers to a question that asks for a yes or no response.

 

[bunter]

Good stuff Pies. really liking our coach & i'm feeling really optimistic about the direction of the club.

The hangover is lifting and the biggest club in australia is waking up.

 

[unplugged]

Once Korda's funeral reading ended, that press conference gave me a stiffy.

 

[mwhop]

Just so refreshing to have an understated approach rather than all the Eddie bluff and bluster

 

[TradeDraft]

Wright on Sanderson will likely be retained as an assistant, but they're discussing other roles.

Hate that Call as want him far away as Possible. Terrible Coach

 

[BringouttheGimp]

Gl Fly..

May your cards be live.. and your pots be monsters.

 

[Anzacday]

Absolutely, yes and no are perfectly acceptable answers to a question that asks for a yes or no response.

Still need to be able to recognise the opportunity to respectfully give them nothing.
He did it in spades.
I also like him mentioning Matthews coaching style will be his too.

 

[Billys Back]

It will be interesting to see his take on the playing group. I suspect we will see the delistings come through over the next month. Will he give Sier another year to prove himself? Is there a role for Cox? Should be interesting.

 

[barrackers]

From the insights he provided on aspects of his preferred playing style I sense Maynard fits the profile well. Hard, aggressive footy right on the edge.

 

[Horaceg]

Is Sanderson staying or going?

Is there an opening in the Barista department?

 

[MooreTreloar]

Well I’m more excited about 2022 and beyond now than I was 24 hours ago.

Welcome Craig!
