Richmond set to bolster recruiting department as part of a club review to improve on the field

RICHMOND is set to bolster its recruiting department budget and staffing numbers as part of a wide-ranging review of the club.

The Tigers have invested heavily in their football department this year and have 10 full-time coaches and two part-time coaches.

But there is an admission from the club that it is not as well resourced in the recruiting department and list management area.

Its recruiting spend is mid-tier at best despite the club’s vast resources and consistent profits.

The Tigers have promised to be aggressive in trade week and the draft period this year as they try to rebound from a lacklustre season.

One of the club’s full-time recruiters went part-time 18 months ago and was not replaced, with Richmond to leave no stone unturned to rebound.

Recruiter Francis Jackson is seen to be keen to continue on, while pro-scout and list manager Blair Hartley has been offered another year on a deal expiring at the end of 2017.

Clubs now must remain under the $9.4 million football department spending cap and prudently balance their spending priorities.

The Tigers are seen to have made safe and steady decisions with their first-round selections but few of them in the past six years has been inspired.

Rival clubs have stolen a march on the recruitment of Irish and American rookies and picked up late astute selections or rookie-listed players who have become regulars.

Richmond is a clear frontrunner to secure Dion Prestia, who will leave Gold Coast, but few are certain where he will play next year.

Football boss Dan Richardson said earlier this year the club had to decide whether to go to the draft or lure elite talent.

“Clearly we need to improve our top-end talent and the best way to do that is through early draft picks, which we don’t know whether we’ve got yet, or bringing in some A-grade talent and to do that you need to give up early draft picks to get that talent in,’’ he said.

“If it does turn out that we get ... a top-10 pick, then clearly that gives us more currency to either bring in an established player or recruit a high-end talent through the draft.”

The Tigers must give their assistant coaches an idea of their plans for them by Monday under an AFLCA understanding to allow assistants time to plan their future.

It seems likely there will be a refresh of the assistant coaches after a season that has coughed and spluttered and will end in a failure given the lack of finals.

The Tigers say they will not rebuild their list — which has five elite players then a gap to the next tier — with retiree Troy Chaplin and Ivan Maric the only plus-30 players.

Clueless with a capital C  :banghead From the looks of it any improvement will be from luck more so than from good management, a case of the inmates running the asylum, could be a long road back peoples.

How the HELL had Hartley been offered another year?  :huh

This whole review is just another PR exercise and a thin veneer to cover arses of existing jobs.

NOTHING HAS CHANGED. NOTHING WILL CHANGE.

Institutional culture of accepting poor results.

The club is a disgrace.

Hartley gets another year because he is earmarked to set up our academy

Everyone knows my view on him

As for recruiting I am actually pleased to read they intend to spend more. About bloody time

But we are making a profit people.
It's so we never have to rattle tins again and for mum and dad fans who are new to the game
because little Jimmy has started Auskick all is like perfect.

CEO doing their job.
Pres ding their jobs.
Marketing doing their jobs.
PR doing their jobs.

All is good.

Footy department? Why would they need a review?
All is good off field.
Nothing to see here folks.
Back and bumslapping for footy sicophants.

having read this, my take is we are either not letting on what we are doing list wise this off season or that we have no idea which direction to go.... 4 weeks of season left if it's the latter we are screwed! if it's recycling from other Clubs we are royally screwed!

I hope FJ is not kept as the main decision maker. He has this obsession with soft small outside runners, to the detriment of our overall needs
We need an elite recruiter , some clubs always recruit A graders with their early picks , Richmond rarely do .
