Leppitsch set to coach Lions

The Lions are expected to announce their new coach today.

FORMER Brisbane Lions premiership star Justin Leppitsch is expected to be unveiled shortly as the club's new coach.

The triple premiership-winning defender is set to be confirmed as Michael Voss's replacement at the Lions at a board meeting in Melbourne on Tuesday afternoon.

They're getting pretty incestuous up there in Brisbane town. I don't get the attraction, but whatever.

my thoughts exactly..... they struggle to look out of the box.

I've got nothing against Leppa but if he doesn't work who's next? Lynch? Power? Black? Mal Michael?

I would even go as far to say they are worse than us and that is saying something.

Why sack the existing coach who was on the brink of finals for another untried especially when u have Craig in the wings.

Bunch of dumb heads.

I wonder if this strengthens their chances of signing Dustin Martin.

What a shambles they are turning into.

Sack their biggest legend just as he was starting to make inroads.

Voss signed some duds and struggled early on, but what did they expect with an untried coach needing to rejuvenate a team... They go through the hard yards, he develops some real talent playing exciting football, then sack him in hope of god knows what...

Then sign another of their former stars so they can burn them in the future too.

Thanks for making us look good.

I'd wish Neeld got that job, or at least a rumour was started about it, just to spook sooky Moloney.

Voss might have developed some young talent but Longer, Karnezis, Polec, Doherty and Yeo are all set to leave. 3 first round picks and 2 other quality picks all about to walk out. They couldn't all be homesick and they are all too talented to be feeling like leaving trapped behind a side that didn't make the 8 and started the season in a mess (after the NAB Cup). Voss was too stuck in his ways and wasn't a great coach. Let's see how Leppitsch goes but he certainly doesn't have the coaching pedigree of a Ken Hinkley. Or a Leigh Tudor for that matter who he beat to get the job.

Without a job I guess. Has there been any kind of official announcement from Melbourne that he won't be with us next yr???

I know Paul Roos mentioned it OTC but there hasn't been anything official yet.

Maybe he stays???

I'd say Roos mentioning it OTC is enough for an official announcement. I'd say he'd get a job somewhere else, maybe even at Brisbane (in which case they'd have to let the dust settle on Leppitsch's appointment first) and when that's arranged they'd be a mutual parting of ways.

If Voss did not have the favourite son aura he would have been sacked after 2 years for his audacious and ill conceived punt on Fevola. Did untold damage to the playing group that scarred his coaching legacy.

However his sacking was inept by the Brisbane Board.

Leppa must want to coach as many aspiring coaches do.

It's a brave move to take a coaching position at a Club where you have a fractious and dysfunctional Board.

I agree with that RR

Perhaps Leppa was the only taker and all they could afford!

Good news if true!

As said that means they haven't taken anyone we considered a worthy successor.

Now lets just hope WCE don't take anyone on our radar - they can have Craig.

We will take Burns and Simpson please.

HA! We sign up Roos and we are now immediately better than a side who just missed the finals. I like your positivity but take a long hard look at our sides past. They still have quite a long way to go before they reach our depths. From all reports he was doing a great job at the Tiges and obviously is very passionate about the team. I say its not such a silly move for them.

    DERAILMENT by KC from Casey

    It wasn’t quite a trainwreck although at times, it sure looked like one, so I’ll settle for “derailment”.  The trip to Brighton Homes Arena in Springfield outside the back of Brisbane might not exactly be the same place where Homer Simpson’s family resides but, if you listened closely to the utterances of the Casey Demons fans both at the ground or watching via livestream, you could hear lots of groaning and plenty of expressions of “D'oh!” reverberating in the background, particular

    TEN YEARS AFTER by Whispering Jack

    Things have changed in the more than ten years since the West Coast Eagles decimated Melbourne by 93 points on the MCG early in the 2014 season. The two sides had not met at the home of football in the interim until yesterday when Melbourne won by a comfortable 54 points to remain in contention for this year’s finals series. Back in those days, the Demons were in the midst of their Great Depression but they have since tasted premiership glory and experienced a long enough period among

    GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    It’s game day and the Demons return to Melbourne to play the Eagles at the MCG for the first time in over a decade. A win keeps the Dees finals hopes alive whereas a loss will almost certainly slam the finals window shut.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well
