2024 Richmond Coach

So at the end of 2016 when we could have just sacked Dimma and put Mini in charge?
We put him along side dimma to help him tactically which mini is famous for

Dimma always said 2025 was his end at punt road club got proactive and gave Mini an apprenticeship surrounded him with top assistant coaches to one day in 2025 take the reigns

The plan has worked to perfection however dimma left early but mini will dominate once he gets a preseason to implement his new game plan

I've got nothing against Mini but if all this is true why not just appoint him senior coach weeks ago?

ill try …… because we have to waste other potential assistant coaches time by getting them to go through a sham process :unsure:
 
I don’t get the love for Newman and to be honest his the last I want. Part of our loosing culture and poor on field team. I don’t get this motion he was part of the change of direction , when he left and Lids club went upwards. Even how bad Wallace was as a coach he was part of the team that knifed him I can't stand players who do that.

Quote
Newman didn’t knife anyone. He was captain of the club and fronted Wallace face to face. Terry himself is a Newman fan which would hardly be the case if he had knifed him.

That’s interesting because at the end of 2016 Neil Balme poached Blake Caracella from Geelong and put him in charge of Ball Movement. He implemented this during the pre season whilst Dimma was at Harvard University improving his leadership skills.

I’m not sure what part Mini and his tactical genius had in any of that.

I’ll bite, even though I’m sure you’re just trolling us for the lols, but McQualter has really displayed that tactical nous for which he is apparently famous since he took the reins, eh?

Yeah, that Balme bloke buggered up the whole cunning plan.

Interesting concept but, flawed, very flawed & more holes than a breakfast crumpet.

Newman has more than enough experience. Some would argue more than Mini. Successfully coached his own team for 2 years for 1 premiership and 1 coach of the year award. Key figure during the Wallace debacle , captain under Hardwick as well and coached under Clarkson and the super impressive Mitchell. Has coached forwards mids and backs.

Yes Mini has been our interim coach but his biggest supporters on this forum claim he hasn’t been able to do what he wants because you can’t change the game plan mid season, so how much can you read into this coaching experience? Apart from that he’s been Dimma disciple for his entire coaching career.

Of the two Newman has had a better apprenticeship in my opinion
You do realise I wasn't having a crack at Chris Newman, don't you?

Maybe you should've quoted the post I was replying to! Thanks
