Set to call it quits this mourning.

Are there any teams in the hunt for a new coach?

Brisbane if the news is correct.

From what i am hearing...did not get pushed..just decided that it was his time to go


Haha my mates at footy will have a field day with this . . .

Maybe Vossy will come in?

nah vossy at eagles, maybe leppa, adriian flecther or paul hudson

And to think, one of his many parting gestures was to drop TJ...

 

.....and amazingly Brown re-signs.. !! Maybe the cynicism cuts in again...heheh.. Those two events are linked for sure !!

Lethal might even enjoy a year without the pressure. Have to be a few coaches watching their backs waiting for the inevitable" The coach has the FULL support " speech !! :lol:

Would think he has been paid out and will not coach next year, if again. Media looks a good bet.

Whilst everyone and everything will be saying Uh Uh, I would not rule it out . It will be interesting. He would have a get out clause at the Eagles that says if a Senior coach position became available...etc... .

He represents Brisbane Lions. Who else? Brian Royal :lol:

Robert Walls! :lol:

Roger Merrit

He walked !! We can only speculate..but why would there be any onus on Bris to pay out anything..they didnt sack him.

I purely have the feeling he may enjoy a year off..as it were.. Recharge the batteries... have a think etc.

Leigh is a man who much prefers to do things on his terms ( good for him ) He's wise enough and intuitive enough to know when to go..and he has. But I suspect as his decision..its his expense as it were. Im sure he doesnt struggle for a buck..nor will he with media offers probably already mounting on his doorstep.

Whoa whoa, wait a moment. Leigh Mathews resigned, as in quit? And Brown re-signed, as in signed a new contract? I was thinking it would be the other way around...

He is not the type of guy to walk away, he was pushed.

Also he loves a dollar and a payout would be part of the deal.

quote a source..or youre speculating.

he said for a while he would go if not 'loved'..i.e needed.etc

Is he available?

Seriously.

Seriously.

I was just thinking today "I wonder what MFC would have done should we have kept Neale on for another year and were now head hunting a senior coach"....

dunno about having voss has no coaching experience, be like when tim watson coached the saints

http://www.realfooty.com.au/news/news/matt...0121086124.html

Link to the Age if anyones keen.

'While he confirmed he would continue to live in Queensland, Matthews said he was unsure where the next step in his career would take him.'

'Once voted the best Australian rules player of the 20th century, Matthews has been a larger-than-life figure in AFL in Brisbane, with his iconic stature helping to establish the game in the growing South-East Queensland market.'

After reading these sentences does anyone else think that maybe Leigh might be linked to the new Gold Coast team?

  • REPORT: Richmond

    The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

  • CASEY: Richmond

    The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

  • POSTGAME: Richmond

    After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
