Just put the same thing on the rumour Board Jonno. I figure anything stated on SEN is a rumour ;D
Would be a loss to our panel but it's naive to think that most assistants would want to stay put for less money and less clout when there's a few coaching jobs up for grabs.

At Club 80 Murray Rance couldn't have spoken more highly about the work Leppa has done with Sir Alex.
Nature of the business. Wouldn't of thought he'd be ahead of highly touted assistants like Richardson, Neeld, etc but if they rate him that highly and he goes then good luck to him. Assistants move around a lot whether to senior coaching gigs or other clubs. Going have to replace some soon anyways you'd think. Lade is another who might go back to Port one day, just a guess.
Exactly. Hard to see Bickley being overlooked on current results and is home grown. Would be a popular choice with Crows supporters and the club I would think.IanG said:
Great news, we must be doing something right if others want some of what we got.
One person coming or going shouldn't upset us moving forward, if the foundations are right.

Good luck to Leppa. No issue with him moving on.
He's done a great job already with our young defenders who will have learned plenty from him the past couple of years.
Never hurts to get fresh eyes and ideas on the coaching panel either.

Agree Tooheys, but Bicks looks a lock for the Crows. Eade or Williams for Melbourne - and the Bulldogs could fall any which way with that President.
I suppose there's a more recent thread on Leppa, but I'm buggered if I can find it..!
Great listening to him on crunch time @the moment. .....
Soaring like an eagle.... whilst surrounded by turkeys!
Gee that Craig Jennings fellow loves the sound of his own ideas!

Yep Craig Jennings is full of sh#t!.
Leppa on the other hand an absolute legend and great listening even if he is giving up a lot about Richmond. I reported in one training report last year that it was funny watching 40 blokes practicing in unison manning the mark, (comical almost). Listening to Leppa today it sounds like it was his idea, he said he spoke to the room and said to the players something like:
Who of you have been drafted to the club because you are elite, absolutely elite at manning the mark? Of course no hands go up. Said it is boring but why we practice it is if we get it right we will get the ball back if you don't you will be chasing tail all day so if you don't get it right the first time then we will keep on practicing it.
Manning the mark importance was also featured in the Making Their Mark documentary , I remember Dimma saying in the team meeting before Geelong game if you can just get in quickly and make Geelong kick a finger tip higher over the mark it will make all the difference down field in winning the ball back.
It is why I thought the introduction of the statue rule was just another rule brought in to dismantle the Tigers as we had become ELITE in this BORING aspect of the game that required 100% commitment and pushing the boundaries.
Would love Leppa to still be at the club but we move on.

Every time I hear Jennings I wonder if his “stuff” is any good wouldn’t he be still working in the system, I find him very David King like, trying to invent the wheel again, but you can’t get it any rounder then it is. Always think he’s trying to get another job with how complimentary he is to all the AFL coaches.
Hopefully we will get Leppa back to Punt rd, though I think Clarko may be warming his seat
