One of which was the forward line coach that year was Skippy, and then he was transferred to mids coach. The forward line deteriorated, the mids got better (iirc) then after that the brains trust sacked him, and he was hired by Collingwood to help set them up for their next Premiership.

What a great brains trust we have.

Weirdly maligned on here was Skippy. Everywhere he went our players got better and some of the stories of the lengths he went to on individual stuff eg with Tippa were amazing.

Yep.
Just take a look at the posts in his thread…

Why is this guy our midfield coach? We are so inept in the midfield. We can’t tackle, we cannot win any clean ball, we constantly let other teams midfields completely overlap continually. I would hope that we would go out and get an A grade midfield coach at the end of the season.

A good sample of the sentiment surrounding him.
