The problem is an inability to retain quality players over the past six years, not helped by the removal of the salary cap allowance.
Obviously it all starts at home though and getting things right at a basic level at the club, which the Lions have failed to do for some time now.
But the tide has started to turn, with nearly every player on the list signed for 2018 and beyond.
Getting a new facility at the airport would help too as the Gabba is run down and nowhere near AFL standard anymore.
Not sure about Leppa.
I genuinely feel for the guy, because he tore the list down and this was his first year in charge with the list he wanted.
Injuries didn't help, but blowouts like the past two weeks certainly bring his coaching ability into question.
Why not stop the bleeding with extra players in defence? 100+ point routs are no good for anyone's confidence.
If they go down the path of getting a new coach, any thoughts on who?
Obviously Ratten's name has been mentioned, but Bomber Thompson is the one I'd be after.
Has experience at rebuilding a list and also has a bit of stature, which is important in the fickle Qld market.
I see Sumich has just signed at West Coast, but if they were to nab him it wouldn't be the first time the Lions stole an assistant from the Eagles like that (2009 Voss).

The Gabba worked OK for those blokes back in 2001-2004!
Collingwood has arguably the best facilities in the AFL and it's not turning the team into a powerhouse.
It all comes down to astute coaching and commitment from players (in our case a lack thereof).

No surprises in this decision.
Who takes over? On radio they are saying that the next coach will have completed the Level 4 Coaching course so that narrows in down. I don't know the names of who has done the level 4, Dew is one but I haven't heard his name mentioned at all to get the job.
