Another great piece from The Age.

Gives an interesting insight into McRae's philosophies and personality and how it shapes his coaching.

Yep great article - interesting about the non-Collingwood way of making the appointment of Mc Care. I reckon getting Wrighty was one of the best pick ups of all time, as he would have driven this approach.
I think therefore I think - I think

That was the most refreshing part of last year's coaching appointment.

The fact that we undertook a process and did our due diligence rather than go for a captain's pick or favourite son which we've done too many times in the past.

By a country mile. Bravo for being yourself and letting others be themselves, Craig, and for leading from behind while elevating those around you. First-class leadership.
