I'm now thinking that this is a very astute appointment. Geeze, he's been impressive in every interview I've heard. Translate that attitude into the playing group and things are looking up. Time will tell of course but he looks/sounds like a breathe of fresh air with a hard-nosed attitude. Good luck to Mark and I can't wait to see the assistants that support him as senior coach.
At the same time I reckon that CS might have saved his bacon with his role in Mark's appointment and that Todd Viney will continue in the best role he's suited to especially with a strong-minded coach who won't be intimidated by past players of the club. The others, including Connolly, are vulnerable.
