But geez, is he passionate about anything? Has he ever instigated a joke before in his life? I always admired and fed off passionate coaches, myself.

Hard to judge him as a coach considering Geelong's list over the last decade.
We haven't gotten enough runners ups?

More than our fair share, my son.

I have absolutely no idea about the coaches around the traps, as I haven't played/worked under any of them.

But I sure don't want Sheedy or Malthouse just because they've won flags in the last 15 years.

There are folk already buying into our Coach being dismissed, not only that but pondering on his replacement. For mine, I don't think Thompson would come within a country mile of our club. And with all the gossip and innuendo surrounding his position , I'm amazed that SW WANTS to remain as our coach!
good sensible post mate.....well said... :D

i remember being in the rooms on many occasions growing up...when allan killigrew was the coach......talk about passion...he had it in spades....but another one who we gave the flick to, after he blued with the committee.....
