so will he now leave the highly paid junior gig at Hawthorn or will the bags of cash from the rich kids club be too tempting ?

Be interesting to see whether he makes an import change with Lester??? CJ is safe.

Why would he change Lester Strong? Sure he had an average season (injury partly to blame) but surely loyalty would be important. He must be close to being an Aussie as well. No idea why both of the Knox imprts have not become nataralised?

CJ will be naturalised really soon. It cost over $2000 easy just for the paperwork to be lodged to become naturalised plus a probation period, then a permanent resident for 1 or 2 years then you have to apply for citizenship after that. Hopefully Knox have done that for Lester or else he won't be a citizen until he is 35 or 36. Too late???

Hey annon I think you need to re check your status of Knox being the rich kids club, my mail is that it is now the exact opposite.They don't have the seat out of their pants but not as financial strong as they use to be.
I can tell you that neither import is signed sealed or delivered.I am told people now handling Knox Senior teams are the same as are handling the junior rep program.God help the senior program if it is true.
Good luck to Matt on his appointment I hope he does well.But one word of warning Matt you will make a big mistake if you try to bring DMac into Knox.Has history and the people at Knox have longer memories.

Knox will be the ones that will regret this appointment. Matt has had his chance at SEABL level and proved he couldn't coach. He then again at Big V Champ level proved he again can't coach.

Knox will be looking for a new coach next season.

As I said in my last post I am prepared to give him a chance.His first big issue from a supporters point of view is that he has to sign both CJ and Lester.If he doesn't dont expect to many spectators at games or congratulating him on his appointment as those 2 guys are what draws people to games.
If he doesn't work out Knox should have a real hard look at who are now in charge of the program and maybe get rid of them as well.Oh maybe do that right now, one in particular is absolutely destroying the junior rep program.

the chief.
The rich kids club is Hawthorn, read the post again.
They have him on a $10K pay packet along with the other big names who cant coach.

my apology anon.I would hope that one the contractural demands placed on Matt would be an involvment with Knox juniors both rep and domestic.
We will see won't we.
