Leppa for me my first choice is done his time after his first stint and so highly rated. There is also big rapts on Jaymie Graham to.

What about Josh Carr? 
Highly rated, think Hinkley stays at Power.

I'm warming to Nathan Buckley.
Buckley….no way Jose, failed, never succeeded, always chased a flag, never got one, LEPPA for me

They showed a lost of possibles on Ch7 news tonight

The ones I can remember were Hinkley, Giansarcusa (sp?), Buckley, Leppa

I was only concentrating/interested in one name and that was Leppa

He'd be perfect

Leppa has already had a crack at being head coach, how did he go? 
His next move was to come to Richmond as an assistant coach & away we went. 

New blood, for better or worse.  It might take more than one go to get back to being a premiership team, but that's football.  That's the chase, the kill comes when it comes.  There will be problems, there will be failures, but its the best way to go.  Trying to rescue the list & reignite our dynasty so that we can carry on pretending to be a top side is futile. 
Find a good young coaching candidate with a few good ideas & be prepared to back them to the hilt.   
Once a Tiger, always a Tiger!  Loud, proud & dangerous!

Why do you think he’d be perfect ? I’m not so informed of the good coaches, I mean depending on how much you bank collingwoods success on McRae you could say he is a great coach and came out of no where. I hear people say leppa is a fantastic assistant coach but I don’t know what makes him so good.

I think we’d benefit from someone outside of the club personally

All well and good but who

The team played a lot better when Leppa was there,  who knows but I think he would be way better than anyone else.

As an aside, why do you think McCrae got him to Collingwood??
IMHO. Cos he’s good

Not great

But he took on a basket case with few resources and very little support (like a Balmey)

He's at least worth considering IMHO

Think Mint, summed it up really well

Rance credits Leppa with helping hom become a premium defender

I also rate him as a person. That he put others first when he stepped away from the Club rather than chase another contract so others with contracts wouldn't lose their jobs due to the soft cap cuts I reckon speaks volumes about his character

We could do a lot worse

Well as I said I’m not informed of the up and coming coaches around the league but I’d assume there’s another McRae out there, an assistant or vfl coach ready to give it a go. We have plenty of time to do the process anyway so will be interesting

Agree

Has he ever put his hand up for a senior coaching role. Feel like whenever there’s a vacancy his name gets raised but he never interviews. Reckon at this stage he just wants to stay as an assistant.
