Interesting that Ross Smith has now adopted Leppas role while still retaining his own and that M. Williams (the other one) has changed from forwardline coach to midfield spread and turnovers leaving Lade as our forward coach.
I would have suggested that our priorities next year would be our forward line and turnovers. I'm not certain that Lade has the expertise to the forward coach but I guess he'll be able to assist our 'forward rucks' - Vickery, Maric & Hampson - more from experience :-\
-
Yep, that's the reason I was hoping we could get Ling and O'Loughlin.
Would feel a whole lot more enthused with Ling rather than Williams as the midfield spread coach and mickey as the forward coach rather than Lade.
The Sydney forwards always appealed to me as a very effective group of forwards who were all different (Hall, O'Keefe, O'Loughlin, Bolton even Davis) but all worked well as a group.

So we didn't sign anyone to replace Leppa ?

A few have been moved around. It appears Ross Smith has taken over Leppa's role as our defenders coach.
The not-choco Mark Williams has gone from forwards coach to midfield spread and turnovers coach.
Danny Daly has gone from midfield spread coach to midfield and stoppages coach.
Ross Smith has added the coach of our defenders to his existing defensive analyst role.
Brendon Lade has gone from midfield stoppage coach to the forwards coach.
The 2013 roles are still listed on the RFC website:

Realistically we have not added to our senior coaches at all but rather reduced them. I worry about this whatever way the club tries to sell it to us. I hope the club switches its focus from our Reserve team coaches back to our AFL team next year. :shh

Very worrying that we didn't get anyone to replace Leppa

There has to be a big ranga floating around somewhere for us to sign up

I don't understand. We have a back line coach

Leigh Matthews? probably the most successful player coach combo OAT (Of All Time) IMO, Is there a better one?
-
so one case sets the mould?
no one is suggesting that a good player cant become a good coach, just that being a top player is not a prerequisite.
leigh mathews was a good coach because he had the attributes to coach, not because he was a gifted player..

Would be the best combo player/coach for sure MOL. Jock McHale's record is pretty decent but he wasn't near as good a player as Mathews if you go by the reports (I'm old but not that bloody old). :help ;D
-
Barassi is probably another that springs to mind.
-
roos mathews malthouse
-
roos mathews malthouse
Roos yeeeaaah nuh but better than Moulthome, Malthouse 1 premiership in 12 years at Collingwood and an OK player in a great team verdict Nuh.
-
my bad on that one
got my micks and my sheedys mixed up. decrepit gits
-
Malthouse also loses points for being a massive burke.
-
Yeah, Malthouse was only an average player. Barassi and Roos would have been on a par with Matthews.
-
At one point in time would have loved to see mick mildew at the club but not anymore....
-
mal blight was another good footballer who had success as a coach
-
Sheedy. Hafey.

Sheedy. Hafey.
I don't think they were in the same class as players compared to Matthews, Barassi and Roos.
-
Yeah, Malthouse was only an average player. Barassi and Roos would have been on a par with Matthews.
Roos was overrated as a player. Nowhere near Matthews as a player.
-
Roos was a class class player
and a great coach

Sheedy. Hafey.

sheedy was a an average to good player who worked hard to achieve what he did as a player.
Hafey? mcgualter has done more as a player .

Yeah, funny you say that HRT. When I first went to post my reply above I said the same thing abut Roos but I checked his playing record first and it had more substance to it than I can remember at the time. 7 All Australian, 5 Fitzroy B & F, 14 State of Origin (2 capt), 2 E.J Whitten Medal, 1 AFL MVP (Leigh Matthews Award), 121 career Brownlow votes including a 2nd and a 3rd.

Roos was a gun, great contested marker on the half back line
-
houli is a nice kick and fastish
i think some people want houli out of the backline cause that would rather someone more roos-ish
maybe a helbig mcintosh dea type could be come that
