although we dont want to do another Geisch do we ?????

Yep, must stay impartial.
Rawlings clearly communicates well and at least has the ability to ensure we are competitive.
However we need more than that, we need a man who can create and have the player execute a gameplan that exposes the opposition from round 1 of the AFL season. I don't know if Rawlings has got that but that's why he's being interviewed, to find out.
So no, Rawlings is no where near over the line, nor should he be.
