    After booting Voss then replacing him with the inexperienced Leppa they shouldn't get another first time senior coach. Probably someone like Brett Ratten

    My intel was that it's Ratten they're after but he is unlikely to want to work with Greg Swann. Hopefully they sort it out as I'd rather they diluted the Hawthorn coaching talent than ours!

    I think Bomber Thompson would be an interesting and good person for the job but I don't think he would be interested in it

    I want to say those odds on Capper are amazingly short, but this is Brisbane we're talking about. It's not beyond them to complete their self destruction by appointing him.

    I still think it was a big mistake to get rid of Voss - I had a lot of respect for him and after a disastrous first year, he had the team going in the right direction. I suspect his sacking had a big effect on the culture and morale of the playing group.

    I'd suggest that they'll put in place a coach who is looking for a bit of a fast track into the senior coach role.
    You'd think that Dew may stick where he is given that he seems to be looking for the longer and more secure way in, and taking on this job is a pretty reasonable risk.
    The difference between insanity and genius is measured only in success.

    A joke right? His efforts at Richmond meriting a job beyond meter reading?

    Magnificent player, but there must be doubts on his abilities as a coach. Port have fallen off a cliff since he went there as an assistant....

    Dew is reportedly out of the running:

    Dew won't join Brisbane Lions coaching race - AFL.com.au

    And I've read reports that Ratten would not be keen to relocate for various reasons.

    Not sure who that leaves as genuine contenders. Jonathan Brown stated that senior AFL level experience was not a necessity (citing Don Pyke), but substantial coaching experience at a high level is required.

    I always wondered what precisely was wrong with Guy McKenna at GCS? They were actually tracking along OK (as far as number of wins go) under him.
    Did he take juniors parking space or something?

    I see former Swan, Matthew Dick, was circumcised from Carlton's list today
