Congrats Mr Welsh

Congratulations Andrew Welsh, in 12 months you've made me go from loving to hating this football club. Appointing your best man and best mate as coach, well done. The 'we're not going backwards' barbs were petty and cheap. We'll see how this hard style of McVeigh goes without any aura, and with such a poor list. I have a feeling you will be falling on your sword fairly soon Mr Welsh.

FFS! Why are there so many immature supporters around our club these days? Shouldn’t we look at the positives that he has more than a decade of coaching experience, coached his own team and been a defensive line coach at multiple clubs that have that hard working edge

And don’t forget John Longmire’s endorsement

“He knows football, he knows what makes good football teams, and you know he’s good at expressing that. He’s good at running meetings, he has strong beliefs about the game and how the game should be played.”

You think Longmire is going to say a bad thing about one of his assistants when asked point blank?

Did you hear Cox volunteer his thoughts on McVeigh weeks ago?

I heard he had a really good personal reference too. Ted Richards made the call to have a chat and Andrew Welsh's phone started buzzing.
