[Mousey 47]

Set to call it quits this mourning.

[JACKATTACK 17]

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

Brisbane if the news is correct.

[Jaded No More 68,867]

Co-coaches at the MFC?

[Mousey 47]

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

[Eastie Boyz 0]

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

[the fork 357]

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

[beelzebub 23,313]

.....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 !!

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

[45HG 1,539]

Robert Walls!

[H_T 3,043]

Robert Walls!

Norm Dare?

[45HG 1,539]

Roger Merrit

[do it 4 robbie 1]

TJ obviously drove him mad.

Choco to Bris ??

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.

[titan_uranus 24,980]

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

[Hards 2]

Is he available?

Seriously.

[Kiss of Death 747]

Is he available?

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"....

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?

[Mousey 47]

Michael Voss will be named the new coach at a press conference at 2.30pm today!

Massive Surprising news that its come to this so quick

I thought he just signed a 2 year Assistant Coach deal with WCE.

Something smells fishy..
