2024 Richmond Coach

The game plan that took us to those 3 flags doesn’t stack up anymore. There is a premium on pace and skill. Turnovers kill you. I think we need to do more than plug a few holes.

Someone new isn’t necessarily a bad thing. The game is constantly evolving and we need someone who is not only on trend but ideally ahead of the curve.

Let’s hope that whoever gets the job ticks those boxes
There’s also the argument Mini was in the ideal position to see the deficiencies and evolve it. I’m not fussed either way. I trust the process will assess all the key criteria and I’ll back the new coach until I don’t.

I remember succinctly after the Wallace debacle for the 1st time I can remember
the RFC followed a process in selecting the next coach, hence we employed Dimma.
im sure we will do this same thorough process.
its vitally important.

Remember the mantra: Trust the Process, Trust the Process, Trust the Process, Trust the Process.

Then we'll see who we finish up with.
Sure.

But if the process = Troy Chaplin the process can GF

THE OTHER CONTENDERS TO REPLACE DIMMA

Lauren Wood

8 August 2023


Josh Carr
Insiders say his return to Port Adelaide alongside Ken Hinkley has played a part in the Power’s 2023 resurgence. Has developed a good assistant coaching profile across more than a decade.

Adem Yze
Highly-rated assistant coach who came so close to winning the GWS role before Adam Kingsley knocked him off in the last interview. Was also in the mix at Essendon before Brad Scott won the job. Has had a strong coaching apprenticeship and is currently doing good things with Melbourne.

Don Pyke
Took Adelaide to the 2017 grand final only to be denied by Hardwick and the relentless Tigers. Departed the Crows after being burnt out, but played a big role at Sydney as an assistant to John Longmire to take the Swans to last year’s grand final. Considered a very sound tactician.

Steven King
The former Geelong skipper is keen to take on a senior job and has been making a good case leading the Suns after the sacking of Stuart Dew. Former All-Australian ruck was highly regarded at the Western Bulldogs before the Suns poached him.

Justin Leppitsch
The former Brisbane senior coach and now Magpies assistant had two separate stints at Punt Rd under Hardwick, and knows the place well. Has rebuilt his own coaching brand but told this masthead in July "my mind is firmly fixed on staying at Collingwood, and keep doing what I’m doing.”

Leon Cameron
Spent the second half of his playing career with Richmond, so he knows the Tigers’ environment. Took the Giants to a grand final and three preliminary finals but his tenure ended there last year. Chose not to chase the Essendon job, instead taking on a role with Sydney’s academy.

Shaun Grigg
Could be a wildcard despite only four years as an assistant coach at Geelong. Knows the Hardwick system and style of play given his 171 games as player.

Hayden Skipworth
Has emerged as a possible candidate after Garry Lyon put his name on the radar. “I hear Skipworth has been enormous and anyone going down this path would be negligent (not to involve him in the process,” Lyon said on SEN radio. “You and I both heard the name Skipworth. Watch this space."

For some reason I’m going cold on Mini, feel like Carr could be the man.

BUT, the longer Hinkley doesn’t sign at Port…..is he in the running?

Suns job is gone. What is Hinkley‘s leverage? Seems impossible for him to not have a job next year.

Thought we weren’t looking at anyone that’s been an AFL senior coach So that’d rule out Hinkley

I’ve heard from an inside source today that Carr has it locked in the bank and has already started working on the assistants he wants to bring in

Mini to go to Gold Coast with Dima most likely

Not sure Mini would say 'yes' to the Huns this quick?

Will be big pay rise for Mini to go GC as asst and also look good on the resume when they start trending up and he goes for next senior gig

Yep fair statement there Doggy and Mini might get to take over from Dimma after he gets Sun Burned .......... Out. :))
 
Weird kind of feeling regarding our next coach. In a way it would have been better if Mini hadn't put up such a good show of it, it's clouding judgements. Feels like if he lands the job he gets little grace period next season, the heat will be on. Bring in a new coach and maybe the heat is off the club a bit. Not sure, kinda feel like I'd rather fresh blood heading into 2024.
