Gotta feel for the bloke the Brisbane Lions are a basket case on and off the field. No doubt they will be asking the AFL to give them a hand out and concession picks and the irony will be they have to pay out Justin Leppitsh’s final year of his contract then probably pay overs to get the coach they want.
DD, The Lions, like the Suns, have been decimated by injury for two years now I think.It was inevitable that it would happen.
I wonder who will want to take over the crown of thorns.Word has it that the AFL may ask Peter Sumich to take on some role up there.
Suma definitely deserves an opportunity a/man you can’t do anymore than he’s done in terms of an AFL coaching apprenticeship and coached in his own right at WAFL level. The problem for him is if was to get the gig and not bring on field improvement the eastern states media will give him no honeymoon period, they will criticise his appointment from the get go.
For a Champion Footballer and Coach,Leigh Mathews makes a Lousy Administrator!
He can make excuses and lash out all he wants,but he has now found out,what it’s like to be under a Blowtorch and to me,he has handled it Badly!

A great player don’t necessarily makes a great coach.
