IIRC no one wanted to coach Richmond given the basket case we were along with our poor reputation for sacking coaches.
So we got someone desperate to coach an AFL team and he was "cherry ripe" to take the gig

True sadly

We offered the job to Bomber Thompson but he knocked us back to take the Geelong gig because of our reputation for sacking coaches

This is correct. The only blokes we had to choose from were Spud and Brian Royal. We took the better dud out of the two duds.
