Honestly, ignore the noise. Journos are muckraking for big Collingwood headlines and AFL wants the heat off the Melbourne drug dealers. Eddie should pull his head in and put his foot down. Professional disagreements happen all the time in the workplace.

Seriously? If we told him to come back, he'd resign which was his original plan. It was Kelly and Brown who pitched the idea of taking LSL then returning to his job.
We have enough good people around Fly, Wright will be back in time for finals and to see us through the draft and trade period. Plus, If Fly really needs to pick his brains, he can call him. That was part of the deal.
Day to day onfield performance is with the coaches and players. They're the ones who need to fix it.

He'll be back to help his to a good 2025 season. This one is likely write off but we will get through it. Best time to get getting draft picks before the Tassie team compromises the draft in post season 2025 and 2026

Is he off scouting more potential players that are under 185cm?

Can’t help but think that Graham Wright is the most important staff member at Collingwood.
When he arrived everything started falling into place and now that he is on LSL it is evident things are not the same.

It’s amazing how few outstanding leaders/managers there are.

I would be amazed about the dearth of good managers if I hadn't worked in 5 cities in Australia and experienced precious little good management. He does appear to be a very good football manager.

Would it have been better to leave Leppa and Bolton stay in their roles and just get Kelly and maybe someone temporary part time in?
Rather than spoil three positions ?

Why we didn't pursue McKay instead of Schultz is baffling. We need a tall, dependable backman. I would have been happy trading away a Rd 1 pick for McKay.

I'd call it good management. You get 4 good people to each pick up some higher level functions, Leppa and Bolton pick up some of Wright's stuff and the other 2 cover them in the day to day coaching stuff. They all get new growth and learning opportunities, minimal disruption to the players and everyone is happy.

I didn’t see Wrighty running around on the field in 2023, it’s up to the players to perform, wrighty could be on the moon wouldn’t make any difference. Purely coincidental we are in a slump to start our season, I don’t think it would have been any different, like I said I didn’t see him getting too many kicks on the field last year.
