Leppa heads north

[Baloo]

I seem to remember Greg Miller flying to London to try & lure Solomon to us years ago.

which I believe was agreed with Soloman and Essendon. But Miller didn't make it to the fax machine on time to fax through the trade to the AFL. I think.

Dean S will take a year away from the game

I think that was the Zanuck trade of Ty and 36 for 30

Is there a media article regarding that ?.

 

[TT33]

Caracella's been on the phone to Dimma pleading to come back

 

[Mr Brightside]

Did a good job with Rance in particular.

Time for some fresh blood and new ideas.

Good luck Leppa but not too much.

Rance never really went on from there did he

 

[K3]

Well the codger can gagf

Doubt Leppa would go back to the Bears after they shafted him .

I suspect Suns would be his next gig in some way shape or form.

Tigers bring Solomon to the club so he can get started on chipping Rowell ...great plan

Or leppa has time off then comes back

I got the feeling he wanted some time away from footy, not going to a different club.

*shrugs*

But it's been shown this year that the Tigers don't require Caracella any longer.

Urban myth I believe. ... the real story was he made it to the fax machine.... but he didn't know how to use it!

I've said all along that if we can get Solomon and Brown without losing too much in the draft then OK. But it looks as though we will have to give up our first two selections as no one rates any of the hacks we are throwing on the table for trade.

Bugger it, lets just go for Brown, they don't want draft picks. Give them Bowden and see how much more they want. Guard our first and second round picks very closely.

I was born in 82 so please tell me if I get anything wrong here.

People go on about Miller bringing back the glory years with this ruthless recruiting.... Wasn't the great 1967-74 period brought about by smart recruiting, not poaching. Didn't we get a great experienced coach in Len Smith to develop a list. Look at the '66 reserve grade side - B. Richardson, Hart, Bartlett, Patterson, Clay and Bourke. How many of these came from other clubs? Obviously it is harder with these days with the draft, but it can be done.

Hafey took over, clearly always had the respect of the players, had a clear, simple game plan, was tough but fair and the rest is history.

We dont need Soloman or that hack from footscray.
I for one hope Miller Hammerhack has egg on his face at 2.00pm friday.
It might make him become creative so that we can get some real talent in the club, by getting the best youngsters in the land.
I suspect that dud frawley is behind this recruiting drive as a one last roll of the dice for him, before he heads of to the sunset, to the land of fields and grain!

I never believed the “I couldn’t find the fax machine” story. I’m sure Miller was playing games.

 

[RedanTiger]

Dean S will take a year away from the game

The reason he was sacked from the Suns was that he was starting a fitness business with his wife and the club wouldn't accept the loss of time to do the assistants job, which is highly time consuming with the use of video.

So I don't think any other club will offer him a job and he can't take one outside SE Qld.

Of course that all relies on the media being correct in why he leaves the Suns.

 

[Tigers of Old]

Now we’re really about to find out if Dimma is any good

 

[zippadeee]

Dean S will take a year away from the game

Thank god.
Don't want him anywhere near us

 

[zippadeee]

McCrea is apprantly gone too at years end

 

[snags]

McCrea is apprantly gone too at years end

Oh craps! I wasn't as bothered with Lepa leaving as we still had McRae. That's a fair reorg if true.

 

[AngryAnt]

I imagine that this pandemic has changed a lot of things for a lot of people....

 

[LeeToRainesToRoach]

Thank god.

There was a suggestion he was closer to the players than the coach and that's why he was let go.

Players might check out too after this.
