    .....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:

    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.

    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"....

    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?

    Something smells fishy..

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
