2024 Richmond Coach

I think so, too. However, if we go with him. I think we’re putting the necessary rebuild back by however long his contract is. He’s starting to look like the most clueless coach we’ve had since Frawley.

He is still the same coach that most of us were happy with before our last two games at the Dump.

I went and watched yesterday for no other reason than to assess the tactical setup, sat up high to get a full ground picture.

What I saw was our coaching staff get dismantled limb by limb by Ross Lyon's crew.

St Kilda used numbers behind the ball to perfection and then expertly cleared the corridor to open it up for their ball movement. McQualter was talking about accuracy in his presser, well that's what happens when the opposition get direct shots and deep entries by owning the corridor there Sherlock.

The other thing that struck me after not seeing us live for months was how sharply we have declined. It's only a one game sample to be fair but we have really hit the wall like so many good teams do.

In hindsight we made a massive mistake by appointing a coach with ambition as a caretaker. He is coaching for his future, playing older players, injured players and in a manner that is to win, not develop. We've missed a golden opportunity to progress our list.

We should have put someone like Teague in the chair, who would have coached without ego and without emotional connection to players over a long period of time. I guarantee he would be playing kids and developing and finding out about them.

To me the criteria for our next coach is simple:

1. Have a clear tactical vision of their own. Doesn't matter what it is, the style of play for our next flag hasn't been discovered yet, we just need to know they are capable of designing a system. That means they have coached a team to success in their own right.

2. Be committed to regenerating the list via the draft.

3. Be accepting of a strategy where every player aged 25 and beyond on our list currently is available for trade immediately or moved on at the completion of their current contract.

4. Have the mindset and management skills to be able to concede competitiveness in order to build for success over the next 2-3 years.

Great post. Trying to hang on is going to get us no where.
Watching last weekends footy underlined just how far we are behind.
Don’t want a coach who doesn’t embrace reality.

My issue is somethings he didn't need a preseason to change they can be done immediately and leave a impression.

For starters team selection hasn't changed have a look at our beltings not one senior player dropped our kids take the rapt nothing to do with the best 22 you don't keep playing players not performing.

Our lack of intensity in games is alarming and even putting 4 quarters of footy last 2 weeks players checked out pathetic and all this endorsement from the playing group for him.

Poor tactics the week before the 2 rucks we went with didn't work so we don’t change it up or we let Bont tear us part and not put a tag on him very simple issues we didn't rectify.

Bont is pretty hard to tag with his size and skills. Do we really have anyone who could have done that job and not left a big hole somewhere else?

I’d like to see a clean out in the coaching ranks and a new start tactically.

Having said that, I very much appreciate Mini putting the club before his own career. Selfless act and I reckon he’s coached pretty well considering his senescent, indifferent list.

No complaint from me if he is appointed as I think we are prime rebuild material anyway.

The last 2 weeks the players have looked confused and at times disinterested. The game plan is so bad its bordering on a joke. Mini can't be given the job

I am warming to Grigg

Played under Pagan
Won a flag with us as a player
Always said to be a future coach and our smartest player
Helped Scott win a flag at Geelong as an assistant
Mates with Dusty

Him or Adam Simpson I would be happy with, prefer him, younger less baggage

Make it happen Benny

For me Carts it’s all about the support crew. That’s whom I am most interested in.

A little bit, but he was the one to supposedly start the 'richmond man' which was a huge shift in the right direction of our culture.
