A more polished version of our high pressure chaos footy. Think I'll wait till they've won a flag or three before I decide if they're doing it better.

2024 Richmond Coach

That'd be all we need. Forty odd players all putting me me me before team because it's a paid job not a social club.
Pretty sure one of Benny's main criteria for the new coach is his empathy and emotional I.Q. He wants a team and people relationship builder for the next coach to continue growing the culture that Dimma, Balmey and the rest have established.

There are no stupid ideas, just stupid people
Mansell's excellent at tagging. Each week he takes himself out of the game.
Regarding Collingwood’s different ‘modes’, on many occasions this year I’ve watched them go on blistering runs that begin in their defensive 50 and then turn into seemingly unstoppable chains all the way down the ground for a goal.
So are the effectiveness of these plays a result of choosing to ‘flip the switch’ so to speak at the right time, instead of just just trying to launch whenever they happen to get the ball?
And would that mean that better discipline / work rate from the team would in theory create better structures around the ground, which would enable these types of ‘launches’ to happen more often?
Enter the coaching / game plan I suppose…
McIntosh maybe could be a tagger. On current form he ain't a class winger. Far from it!
This is an interesting call.
He has the endurance and is also excellent one on one.
Definitely worth a try.
Applicants progressing to the next stage of the coaching process were apparently notified yesterday.
Listening to a podcast with Shorty and Boobs Broad and they mentioned the leadership group has detailed to the club what they want and expect from our next coach.
It's pretty harmless. The players are constantly schooled to support each other on the field and off. Mini wants the job and it isn't really surprising to see players publicly offer support in these circumstances.
I’m sure the club will give the players expectations the respect they deserve and then appoint the best candidate for the job regardless.
Keeps the players happy in that they believe they are part of the process, also means they are more likely to get on board with the new coach as they feel they had a hand in selecting them.
No need to upset the apple cart just let the players believe they’re part of selection process. I’m sure most of the players wants would be on the selection panels desired qualities as well.
It’s a win win.
Upset the cart or not there opinion in this appointment should have no bearing with Gale , Balme etc they know what's best for the club.
As the primary workforce, how they react to the manager is important.
Dimma talks about shifting the coaches desks nearer to the food/social areas which subsequently helped improve relatiobships and connection between players and coaches.
But people would underestimate Benny Gale to think he would be misguided and pick an inadequate coach because the players like him
So what does that actually mean? 'Where' or 'were' ?? Great job been a journo.....
Thanks for the scoop Nat... who is on that list other than Mini would actually be news.
I didn't mean to suggest it was a deliberate action.
In simple terms the difference I see in us and Collingwood is we are one paced in offence and they have gears.
Under Hardwick we would aim to win turnover and then launch. Everyone had licence to go so we would get those beautiful waves of running players charging down the ground. It didn't matter what the circumstances were, if you won the ball you pull the trigger.
Collingwood do the same but only do so if they are organised defensively. So if the opposition have moved the ball quickly and they are not set defensively, they will play slow with sideways and backwards kicks until they are ready. Often the Collingwood charge comes off the second turnover, ie opposition charge, Collingwood win and go slow, opposition win ball and then Collingwood get the turnover set and charge.
In our case we always said bad luck defenders, we are going and you can work it out best you can. We would have the deepest defender and everyone else was free to run. That was all good when we would win the ball forward most times and when we had a superstar like Grimes or Rance to be that deep defender and save the day time and again, not so good now.
