Craig McRae to Collingwood

Leppa apparently probably not going to Collingwood. Another media black mark:

Funny how people read things differently. ... I was listening to him during this exchange and at no point did he say he wasn't going. Just said he hadn't spoken to the club..... maybe his management has;)
Personally I think he'll go there in some sort of role and eventually he'll be seen as the next Balmey!

Leppa better move now otherwise he will tomorrow's news.
I cannot see how he knocks back Collingwoods offer.
Couldn't do a worse job then that fkstick Guy.

He states: " The Age reported on Monday that McRae is eager for Leppitsch to join him at the Magpies in a senior assistant role. When asked on SEN’s Whateley whether that was the case, the three-time premiership Lion responded: “Probably not, no.”"

Could things change, sure.

Fly will go more than okay as a senior coach
Brings a lot to the role
Really good choice by collingwood

Richmond assistants are in hot demand out there (as you'd expect). Perhaps he'll get Kingsley across as an assistant. Would be a good get candidate 1 and 2 on the coaching panel. Bl00dy pr!cks!

True but both Collingwood playing gropu and club personnel do not have the right cultural mindset to evolve into a close knit group capable of winning premierships unless Fly completely revamps the club and that will take years

Watching Fly... first thing he did was to thank Richmond for making him a better person....
Are you listening Caro!

*smile* he's gonna be hard to hate!

This seems to be the standard approach of footy " journos" now. Report something that might happen as fact and if it does you have had a scoop. If it doesn't there is no kick back anyway ( see the Balme fiasco)
 
Seriously before leppa came to Richmond he was yesterdays news.
All of sudden he has the midas touch.
I know Voss left him a shitt list but seriously lets not get caught up in this.
There were even mentions Pkye was a chance to get back into coaching. That's scrapping the bottom of the barrel. He left Adelaide traumatised. Everyone there is gone and the football club is lucky to be VFL quality

Agree

Inspired choice.

Here I was hoping the news about his appt was a Sam Edmond style premature ejacannouncement and that they would wheel out Voss today.

But it pains me to say he will make Collingwood a contender again.

Looks like Naish will be traded taken by the Scum (via Fly's advice) as they asked for him last year. Probably why we delisted him first?
