No idea as to who we have in charge of clearances, entries inside 50 and forward structure; but these have been our failure all season. Time for the assistant coaches in charge of these areas to go

Time for new assistants
- Thread starter tigertough
- Start date
Head coach still thinks it a turnover game (which it isn’t) - until he values clearance/stoppage nothing will change.
https://www.richmondfc.com.au/football/afl/coaches - it seems Kingsley is the stoppage coach, & X is the forwards coach...
Fwds and VFL. That's a huge remit for anyone let alone a relatively inexperienced coach like X. There's also no one named as defensive coach.
Dimma needs help.
The loss over the past few years of assistants has been profound.

There’s been a big drain at Punt Road. Rutten, Leppitsch, McRae, Balme playing less of a role. None have really been replaced apart from bringing in Kingsley (who may get the Collingwood job).
Definitely need some fresh blood, bar Kingsley it’s a pretty inexperienced assistant coaching panel.

COVID and the AFL's push for equalisation has hurt us big time.
We are the biggest club in the land yet we are made to play with the same budget as the minnows like Norf and Carlton.

hes the one I miss most.
fingers crossed he hates Sam Mitchell,
and does The Leppa Boomerang
I believe that is incorrect?, there was a shake up of roles for 2021 refer below:
I'd be getting Kingsley back to stoppages but then who takes defense, (Leppa had that previously of course)
Head coach
Assistant coaches
- Adam Kingsley (defense)
- Andrew McQualter (forwards/ball movement)
- Sam Lonergan (midfield)
- Xavier Clarke (VFL/midfield)
- Ivan Maric (ruck)
You'd think McQualter would be under severe scrutiny seeing that the 2 areas he's responsible for are our 2 biggest weaknesses ATM.
they're the same bunch that won the 2020 flag.
McQualter is a double agent
im pretty sure he hand embroidered Shockings wifes wedding dress
2017 Assistant coach, midfield/stoppage: Andrew McQualter
2018 Assistant coach, midfield/stoppage: Andrew McQualter
2019 Assistant coach, forwards: Andrew McQualter
2020 Assistant coach, midfield/offensive: Andrew McQualter
2021 Assistant coach, forwards: Andrew McQualter
has a decent 4 years out of 5
