2024 Richmond Coach

His wife wantEd him to leave WA and go back to SA
She may have had a big say in him not wanting to come to Vic to coach us
I never met a wife who knocks back $300k a year increase in salary ever.

Seems pretty clear he’d rather take a risk at Port than take on our list.

Both Leppa and Carr have knocked back the gig now. Unthinkable 12mths ago.

Michael Voss is a good example of why you shouldn't automatically rule out second time around coaches. If you want something badly enough and work hard on your craft you can improve. It's why I hope we look at Leppa seriously.

Would personally love Newman as coach. Leaning towards someone from outside the club. Mini has been at Richmond for 10 years now, and to me he’s just a mini Dimma (not trying to sell him short but he’s worked under Dimma for his whole coaching career!). Might be time for some new ideas.

That's actually a real blow, people tell me he is a very good prospect. You want the very best field you can in these things.

To have a guy like that choose to pass probably says something about where our list is heading as well.
who said he passed on the job my theory is he was told he was never going to get it and concentrate on helping Port Adelaide win s premiership

We still might be able to get Ralph Carr
 
Bsck to dark days a coach every 2nd year.
Disastrous option
Why? Do the Mini knockers have anything other than he's been at the club too long?

He's probably been sitting there for years with his own ideas and not been able to do anything about it.
I bet no other person in our short list has thought more about our list and our future than he has.
He's also probably made more game day moves in 2 months than Dimma did in 10 years so he's clearly not just following suit.
No idea who the right candidate is but I'll back the brains trust to make the right decision, they're better placed than any of us.
