What did u expect them to say? He is Crap and he has no idea.
This will either turn out really bad Or breathe life back into the club listening to a new voice.
I'm expecting us to turn it in for the year and we will get WC results from now on.

So what's the issue with this soft cap?
Get a leppa for 600k and have 400k to bring in top notch development coaches
'Mini' McQualter ready to lead Richmond as caretaker
Long-time Richmond assistant coach Andrew McQualter will take over the reins at the Tigers until season's end after Damien Hardwick's shock departure.

I don't know about that. We've got a bunch of players that will want to finish on a high, and most of the rest needing to prove themselves. I don't think we'll make finals - we're not good enough - but if McQualter is a talented coach, I'm happy for him to get this year as a starting point and see how it goes. The reality is none of us have the first clue as to how good he'll be, or how anyone else will be. I also think a good dose of realistic expectations are in order. He's not going to be the messiah, his job is galvanizing the group and moving them forward steadily.
Pretty sure Cumbo would have been back this week regardless.
Cumberland, Sonsie and Clark need to be playing imo and I also hope to see Banks debuting soon as well.
If we tank, we get a better player to steal from GWS in 3 years time.
History says interim coaches who stay on as the senior coach are rarely successful in the long term. Apart from Paul Roos about 20 years ago I am struggling to think of one. Beware the new coach bump
If you recall back to the sacking of Terry Wallace we had a short bump of form under Jade Rawlings and there were musings about him taking over but the Board resisted and went with Dimma.
Benny's comment about wanting to find the next Hardwick made me think we are looking for an untried senior coach but maybe I am reading too much into it

It’s interesting. Plenty of assistant coaches who have moved and had success. Would they have had success if the senior coach walked? We will never know.
Dimma was under Clarkson.
Simpson was under Clarkson.
Beveridge under Malthouse and Clarkson
McRae was under Dimma. (VFL team was clearly performing really well) and looks this is going pretty well from W-L. Rutten a bust. We will see on GWS.
The only one I can think of is Goodwin under Roos at Melbourne - a bit different as planned succession plan
Seems like could also be selection bias in that being an assistant at a premiership winning club boosts your chances of getting the top job massively.
On the whole you are right so let’s hope McQualter does a Roos at Sydney and didn’t horse also come up through the Sydney ranks.
Balme on RSN this morning likened McQualter to Craig McRae - so obviously held in high regard
I have confidence that Balmey and Brendan doing the selection we will get the best available
Benny later clarified those comments on 3aw.
Said he mis worded it and might have gave the wrong impression and that all options and backgrounds are on the table.
Yes we know it wont be a reactionary, nepotistic, inconsistent, amateurish appointment.
We know Balmey and Benny and Jono will be proactive, creative, honest, and thorough.
And most likely get it right.
If McWalter is the best man, hell get the job. If theres a better person, he wont.
If we have the level of passion and hunger that we had in the Geelong game there is still a lot to like about the Tigers. It really is about maintaining that level. The inconsistencies of our skill levels is the concerning aspect of our team this season.
