Tigers start talks with prospective assistants
Nathan Schmook
September 6, 2016 5:51 PM
RICHMOND has started interviewing assistant coaches as it continues to work through its yet-to-be released football department review.
It is believed at least one of the coaches being targeted to fill one of three existing vacancies is from a top-eight club about to embark on a finals campaign.
The Tigers insist their football review is ongoing and have said the decisions reached with consultants Ernst and Young will only be released at its conclusion.
CEO Brendon Gale was reluctant to put any timeframe on when the review would conclude or speak about the club's coaching vacancies on Monday.
It is understood some senior members of the club's coaching group were not interviewed as part of the football department review.
Of the club's remaining coaches, Brendon Lade has been offered a one-year contract, while it is believed Mark P Williams has been offered a less prominent position as a forward scout.
Williams was one of three football department staff who joined senior coach Damien Hardwick on an off-season education trip to the US last October.
While clubs are encouraged not to interview senior coaching candidates who are involved in September, the AFL Coaches Association said there was no issue interviewing uncontracted assistants engaged in finals.
"It is their right and obligation to start interviewing for assistant coaches … they've got to do what's best for their club, which is find the right candidate," AFLCA CEO Mark Brayshaw told AFL.com.au.
"So long as they're interviewing candidates who have been notified by their club on or before August 1 that their club either won't be re-contracting them or can't commit to re-contracting them."

Matty Knights is way overdue. Good to elevate him when we finish the 2017 season 7th and no finals win.

Matty Knights would be a really positive appointment and an obvious appointment to take over when Hardwick patience runs thin

Dumma Halfstep: Welcome back to Tigerland Knighter so glad to have you back at Punt Road.
Matty Knights: Thanks mate, really glad to be back, its been a long time.
DH: so it's been a bit of a disaster here during the off season, a bit like me in the bedroom ha ha.
MK: Yes I've heard. Who are the newbies coming through?
DH: We are super excited with the special gems picked up in this years draft. I mean Francis has outdone himself this time, can you believe none of the phantom drafts had our first pick no where near the top 40? But Francis showed me this highlights tape and its absolutely amazing. Cream on the top, unlike me in the bedroom ha ha.
MK: So I've got some ideas that could help our midfield really utilise its strengths and I've got some forward structures that we could discuss to get more score on the board, I really believe in quick ball movement right through the mid...(interrupted)
DH: (interrupting) Woah stop right there Matty awesome stuff and that may have worked down at Geelong but we are really serious about our processes moving forward and we just don't deviate from that here. It's really an excellent game plan, unlike me in the bedroom ha ha.
MK: So what's the plan?
DH: No Matty it's a blueprint, I call it the "blueprint to success". You know I've been involved in three premierships at 3 different clubs don't you? I mean I know what's required to be a premiership coach of a premiership team. Yes, I was a bit young early on but I'm pretty good now, unlike me in the bedroom haha.

The review will be released when Gale thinks the time is right
So Gale will do the usual of "fixing" the problems identified before release of the review (partial only of course).
Lade has been offered a one year deal.
Williams will now be a recruiter.

They sacked some assistances then offered them new deals...
Well oiled machine is the mighty tigers
-
Not only offered new deals, but openly encouraged to look for other jobs as well. Only at Richmond would they give someone a contract and not demand/expect commitment
-
Not only offered new deals, but openly encouraged to look for other jobs as well. Only at Richmond would they give someone a contract and not demand/expect commitment
Devil's advocate time
Under the coaches association agreement clubs had to tell assistants if they were being kept or if they could look at "other opportunities" by 1 August
Both of the blokes offered new deals but only 12 months with one facing a demotion. the other having been approached by another club
Think about it
1 year -v- the possibility of a longer deal somewhere else... hmmm which would you chose?
the other offered 12 months in reduced role (read demotion)...
No guarantee either will stay

Don't think Wilbur would stay as a forward scout
Big drop in salary

So do you think it's normal practice to tell employees to look for another job or sign a 1 year deal?
In the real world you either offer someone a job/contract because you want them to work in your organisation or you don't.
Once again the club is being pathetic. You either think they are good enough or you don't.
Not sure how anyone can think what has transpired is normal or acceptable.

Correct. Half pregnant. Do we want these blokes or not? If they are good you lock them in. If not stuff them off. Another example of having no clear plan and no conviction.
-
We are still talking about people and jobs and lives here, not disposable stuffing napkins. Maybe they are being managed out with a view to some compassion to allow them time to find new employment.

The thing with contracts is, when they run out, they're over.
That's how business works.

Ethics Harry, they are important. Nobody likes respects or likes an hole except an a whipped dog.
-
What's unethical about sacking someone not considered good enough. They're contract expired.
-
Fair point, might have something to do with scapegoating them for all that went wrong. Maybe they feel guilty about it LOL.

So, in the meantime what?
The club searches for more assistants, only to tell them,
"Yeh look, were interested in you but need to wait until our current employees decide
To stay or go"

Was only referring to the one who has been offered a year in the same role. Didn't know the other was offered a contract already I thought it was speculation that he'd get a reduced role if he stayed. As you said, the rule is they have to inform them about a contract for next year OR tell them they can look for work because they aren't guaranteed. Why would the RFC do both, it's absurd. To say "1 year v longer...which would you choose" is a cop out. It's obvious what you'd pick and that's my point. You either want him or you don't but Richmond decided to give him the best of both worlds.

Ive heard Montgomery, Yze, Knights and Caracella (though i don't think we will get all of them) Aker has been spotted in a tigers shirt, and apparently we have interviewed Voss a few times.
Lets see
Senior coach: Damien Hardwick
Senior Assistant: Brett Montgomery
Development coach: Yze? (I think thats his rle at hawthorn not sure)
Midfield coach: Matty Knigts
Forwards coach: Blake Caracella
Defenders coach: Ben Rutten
Looks better already, I like the idea of Montgomery because he seems like a no nonsense bloke that this club needs, both for the player and to challenge Hardwick.
It doesn't look like Hardwick will be gone (although i was hoping) But i think that things can change with support around him. We need to remember the modern game has changed, assistants have much more important role than they used to. They actually do most the coaching, the senior coach oversees everything.
-
I like the idea of Aker, he is smart and arrogant in a way that shows confidence and belief something lacking in many of our players. Let's hope the introverted weirdo's running the joint don't get startled like starlings at the prospect of an extrovert coming into the club.
-
Why is being an inrrovert a bad thing now? i would love people to tell me what they think introvert means...

Agree with alot of what you have said here
I suggested Montgomery a few weeks ago on another thread when i heard he had left the Doggies.
Thing other for me is if they get Montgomery in as a senior assistant, then this clearly either dilutes Lade's influence or probably more to the point results in a demotion. Which could mean he goes (though my gut feel is he is going anyway)

Watching Nick Maxwell fire up the Giants before the bounce. We've done far worse in the past.
Would be good leadership inclusion to the club. Not much talent but played with more heart than the entire RFC playing list this season..

Good talent but not sure he'd be a good coach. Not that I'd know

Has an excellent footy brain apparently, but I would prefer someone more experienced for now.
-
So what happens when half wit gets sacked by rd 12? Do we start the search for a senior coach then? What happens to the new assistants? If we appoint one of them as his replacement then we haven't done a proper search for the best. The cart before the horse. RFC - half arsed efforts and making it up as we go since 1982.
-
Why is being an inrrovert a bad thing now? i would love people to tell me what they think introvert means...
Are you after the Jungian breakdown? There is nothing wrong with being an 'introvert', the problem is that we somehow managed to get a team full of introspective, quiet non communicators and a Board full of them. 'Introvert' I realise is a generalisation but I think we lack some people with some more obvious and overt confidence and presence on the field. Jack Riewoldt had that, it seems to have been kicked out of him. He had everything you could want, enthusiasm, skill, drive, passion, selflessness and nouse. He is a natural leader imo, Cotchin is not, he had it thrust upon him and he does it because he was told to. Jack, in any other organisation would of been risen to lead because he was meant to and wants to.

Geelong assistant coach Blake Caracella to leave, linked to Richmond
SEPTEMBER 14, 2016
8:43AM
HIGHLY regarded Geelong assistant coach Blake Caracella will see out the club’s premiership campaign before leaving to pursue other coaching opportunities.
Caracella told key officials several weeks ago he planned to move on to a new club after seven years at the Cats.
But he will not jump ship until after Geelong’s season is finished and the Cats are approaching the situation as business as usual as they prepare for a preliminary final.
Richmond is looming as a frontrunner for Caracella’s services with his links to new football manager Neil Balme and coach Damien Hardwick.
Caracella worked under Balme at the Cats for five years and also played in Essendon’s 2000 premiership team alongside Hardwick.
An astute thinker of the game, Caracella was credited for helping mould Tom Hawkins into an All-Australian, best-and-fairest winning key forward, notably his work to straighten Hawkins’s goalkicking accuracy.
Caracella’s credentials were underlined last year when he was one of nine assistants accepted into the elite level-four coaching program run by the AFL.
The program is designed to prepare high-performing assistants for the rigours of taking on a potential senior coach position at an AFL club.

Attended a coaching seminar with him 2 years ago. Great speaker and footy brain. Certainly had RFC game plan worked out as they had played us the week before were underdogs and smashed us (again)!!

Yesssss :clapping. More people from successful clubs, not these Port plodders

7 years at the cats and has level 4 coaching program. Sounds like someone who's next move is a senior role. Not sure why he would want to move to us as an assistant especially seeing the lack of success our assistants have had? If he has been promised the senior role next year then it would be a disappointing way to replace hardwick seeing we haven't opened it up for all to apply. Doesn't make sense.

top flight coach apparently...but I agree with Harry in that due process should be followed. BTW would I sound too conspiratorial if I said that Balme is the prime mover in the new messages/actions coming out of the club, particularly as they relate to recruitment and coaching? Did he stipulate conditions he required from the club prior to accepting the role?

Maybe Blake isn't a silly man, and can see the writing on the wall and is getting his best foot forward to take over!!
-
Yeah I reckon he can smell blood and wants to put himself in prime position.
Hopefully Balmey has told him that Dimma is a dead man walking.
Either way, it's a good thing that we are getting him.

That's not how we should be selecting half steps replacement. What about the other candidates out there.? Caracella may not be the best option.

Harry, I agree.
I don't believe Balme would be doing that. I believe this is Blake having the nous to know that if he comes in and impresses then he will have half a step forward on everyone else that could be potential candidates IF Hardwick fails.

Richmond continues search for up to five replacements
AFL.com.au
15th September 2016
RICHMOND has met with former Western Bulldogs assistant coach Brett Montgomery as it searches for up to five replacements for Damien Hardwick's support team.
Montgomery, who left the Whitten Oval last month after his contract was not renewed, is also on a shortlist of candidates the Brisbane Lions are compiling for their senior vacancy before interviews start.
The Tigers have held recent talks with Montgomery, but AFL.com.au understands the 43-year-old will still be an applicant for the Lions' position.
Assistant coach Blake Caracella, who will leave Geelong at the end this season, has also met with the Tigers, whose new football manager Neil Balme will start on Monday.
Richmond chose not to renew the contracts of Ross Smith, Greg Mellor and premiership coach Mark Williams last month and is yet to confirm what role Mark P Williams will have at the club in 2017.
Midfield stoppages coach Brendon Lade was offered a one-year contract but could yet move to Port Adelaide, where he will be interviewed.

Richmond continues search for up to five replacements
AFL.com.au
15th September 2016
RICHMOND has met with former Western Bulldogs assistant coach Brett Montgomery as it searches for up to five replacements for Damien Hardwick's support team.
Montgomery, who left the Whitten Oval last month after his contract was not renewed, is also on a shortlist of candidates the Brisbane Lions are compiling for their senior vacancy before interviews start.
The Tigers have held recent talks with Montgomery, but AFL.com.au understands the 43-year-old will still be an applicant for the Lions' position.
Assistant coach Blake Caracella, who will leave Geelong at the end this season, has also met with the Tigers, whose new football manager Neil Balme will start on Monday.
Richmond chose not to renew the contracts of Ross Smith, Greg Mellor and premiership coach Mark Williams last month and is yet to confirm what role Mark P Williams will have at the club in 2017.
Midfield stoppages coach Brendon Lade was offered a one-year contract but could yet move to Port Adelaide, where he will be interviewed.

RICHMOND is now searching for up to five new assistant coaches.
The future of Mark P. Williams is also unclear, with the Tigers yet to confirm what role he will play at the club in 2017.
The departures leave the highly rated Ben Rutten as Hardwick's only remaining assistant coach, with development coaches Ryan Ferguson and Andrew McQualter also still at the club.
Interviews for the group's replacements are under way and will continue when incoming football manager Neil Balme starts in his new role on Monday.
The club has met already with assistant coaches Brett Montgomery and Blake Caracella, who are both completing the AFL's Level Four accreditation course.
The Tigers face a challenge in filling up to five vacancies but could turn to retired defender Troy Chaplin, who impressed in the last six weeks of the season in an off-field role assisting the coaches.

Caro mentioned Shane Woewodin. She also said we've shown interest in Stevie Johnson as an assistant coach (if he retires which may not happen based on current form) and we've apparently sounded out Luke Hodge (if he doesn't go on next year).
Lloyd said he's still waiting for a master tactician to come on board. Hutchy added they (Richmond) have never had one.

Haha Woewoeful ....
Hodge - yes please... :clapping

Leppa in the frame to return to Tigerland
AFL.com.au
September 28, 2016
JUSTIN Leppitsch will meet with Melbourne-based clubs this week and is a strong chance to reunite with Richmond as the Tigers continue their search for new assistant coaches.
Sacked by the Brisbane Lions last month, Leppitsch has already met with the Tigers about filling one of their vacant coaching posts three years after first leaving the club.
He is also due to meet with two other Melbourne-based clubs as the coaching landscape for 2017 slowly takes shape.
Richmond has already appointed highly rated assistant Blake Caracella and spoken to Brisbane Lions senior candidate Brett Montgomery.
The club is on the search for at least three more assistant coaches after Port Adelaide premiership coach Mark Williams and assistants Ross Smith and Greg Mellor departed last month.
Midfield stoppages coach and Damien Hardwick's right-hand man Brendon Lade also left the club to take up a long-term position with former club Port Adelaide.
Leppitsch was one of Hardwick's key lieutenants between 2010 and 2013, playing an influential role in the development of star defender Alex Rance as backline coach.
He could fill a new role at the Tigers if appointed, with Ben Rutten – Hardwick's only remaining assistant from 2016 – now in charge of the backline.
Leppitsch is also on a shortlist of candidates to replace Brenton Sanderson as coach of the NAB AFL Academy.

Former Tiger ready to make jump from player to coach
AFL.com.au
September 29, 2016
RETIRED Richmond defender Troy Chaplin this week interviewed for a position on Damien Hardwick's panel as he looks to make the immediate transition from player to coach.
Chaplin announced his retirement after round 16 and moved straight into a role assisting the Tigers' coaches for the final six weeks of the season.
He impressed in the role and is among the candidates now pushing to fill several vacant positions at the Tigers after the club chose to bring fresh voices in alongside Hardwick.
New football manager Neil Balme and Dan Richardson, who has taken on the role of general manager of football talent, are heading up the coach search.
At the time of Chaplin's retirement, Richardson said, "We are delighted that he has agreed to remain at the club in a coaching capacity. Troy has a great football brain and there is little doubt he has a bright future as a coach."
Balme this week spoke about the importance of appointing the right people to assist Hardwick, whose only remaining assistant from 2016 will be backline coach Ben Rutten.
The veteran football administrator and Tigers premiership player said the coach would benefit from having the right people around him, including Blake Caracella, who was appointed last week.
"'Dimma' hasn't made all the decisions on how the coaching set-up will be, but obviously Blake is a senior assistant in some essence in that he's capable of doing any of the five disciples in it," Balme told the club's website.
"Whether it's when we've got the ball, they've got the ball, forward, back or midfield – he's got experience in all of those things.
"He's a really smart coach and he's done a lot of work in footy and I think he'll bring a hell of a lot to this program."
Sacked Brisbane Lions coach Justin Leppitsch is also in the mix to return to Punt Road, where he was an assistant to Hardwick between 2010 and 2013.
He is also due to meet with two other Melbourne-based clubs this week.
Richmond has spoken to Brisbane Lions senior candidate Brett Montgomery as it searches for at least three more assistant coaches after Port Adelaide premiership coach Mark Williams and assistants Ross Smith and Greg Mellor departed last month.

Indeed, but what else can we base it on?
-
Royce Hart coached the Doggies for two years and had a winning percentage of less than 15%
-
James Hird was a great player and was a great coach too.
-
No-one who has been part of this farce over the past 7 years should be employed as a coach, they are stained. Anyone who has had the experience of undertaking a management role after being parachuted into a failing business, knows this fact categorically. I would rather make Hodge an offer he can't refuse - if he is deemed suitable and willing.
-
Would prefer an assistant coach from a different club than the appointment of Chaplin. There needs to be a fresh injection of ideas at this club, not the towing of the Hardwick line.
-

Results. We all no his playing ability was limited and i was happy when he retired but he is a very communicator and teacher of young men. He just couldn't execute what he will be teaching on field himself. It's only at interview stage so he might not even be offered a role but if he does i believe he will be a far better coach than player :thumbsup

Mmm but from his playing career we can also see traits of poor accountability, poor decision making and of course that incident when he left Port.

Semantics.
Jackstar said he'd have no problem with him as a coach. Which is stunning in itself.
Some of us disputed his (chaplins) credentials including:-
1) lack of coaching experience
2) lack of qualifications
3) lack of mental conditioning
4) lack of physical conditioning
5) lack of good structures in a potential role (player dev)
6) and that he was a crap player.
A number of posters focused on crap player does not equal crap coach rhetoric in the context of Chaplin being a crap player and going for the job.
Which is as far as context is concerned, somewhat of a defence (or at least indifference) of Chaplin for the job.

Regarding your 6 points, how does one start a career as a coach?
Lack of experience is overcome by....coaching?
Lack of qualification - 200 games as a player strikes me as decent qualification. Most assistant coaches these days start an apprenticeship type situation where they are coaching and studying at the same time.
Lack of mental conditioning - well playing for/being associated with the RFC puts any perspective well behind the eight-ball. Can't deny that
Lack of Physical conditioning? - what the stuff is that for a coaching parameter. He's just come off playing full time as an athlete. How much more conditioning could a candidate possibly need?
We have already clearly established being a crap player has little relevance regarding ones capabilities as a potential coach
I'm indifferent at the idea of Chaplin coaching next year. But our best defender for the last 30 years was brought to tears when Chaplin retired.
-
Tears of relief stuffing like it.
I know Bents and I were teary when we heard the news.
FFS we had to suffer him on our list for how many years and now cop it up the khyber with him on the coaching panel as well.
Good Lord how much can a koala bear.

all footballers have fool momments, doesn't mean they are bad players. How many Alex Rance moments have we seen over the years (just to clarify I am NOT comparing chaplin to Rance)
Besides, its Nahas, anyone would have got complacent.
Our forward line functioned better with Chappy in the team, Rance as a general rule played better with Chappy compared to with Astbury (though as Astbury got more games they got better together).

An early test for Tigers
By AFL Insider
sportingnews.com
Published on Sep. 30, 2016
Collingwood is moving to snatch sacked Brisbane coach Justin Leppitsch out from under Richmond, as the Tigers try to get their former assistant back to Punt Road.
Leppitsch was close to confirming he would re-join Damien Hardwick’s team but the Pies have thrown a spanner in the works, offering a part-time assistant’s job in conjunction with a position at the AFL Academy.
The dual roles would lower the pressure levels on ‘Leppa’, who wants to stay in the game but also intends to avoid the limelight as much as possible.
The challenge is going to be a measure of the regenerated Tigers commitment to improve their football department.
When Leppitsch was its defensive coach, the Richmond backline became one of the tightest in the competition, and Alex Rance changed from a gung-ho turnover merchant to the best defender in the game.
Getting Leppa back would be a big win for the Tigers, but losing him to the Magpies would be a very early stumble on the road back to respectability.

The dual roles would lower the pressure levels on ‘Leppa’, who wants to stay in the game but also intends to avoid the limelight as much as possible.
The challenge is going to be a measure of the regenerated Tigers commitment to improve their football department.
When Leppitsch was its defensive coach, the Richmond backline became one of the tightest in the competition, and Alex Rance changed from a gung-ho turnover merchant to the best defender in the game.
Getting Leppa back would be a big win for the Tigers, but losing him to the Magpies would be a very early stumble on the road back to respectability.

It's time to stop looking back.
No to Leppa for me.
Time for new blood and new ideas.
It sounds to me he needs a break anyway. We need coaches that are 100% committed to the RFC.

Tigers look at ex-Saint for coaching role

Richmond have spoken to Xavier Clarke about the prospect of the former St Kilda and Brisbane Lions utility joining the Tigers' coaching panel.
Clarke, 33, has been in Melbourne this week as he looks to join an AFL coaching group for the first time. The one-time No.5 draft pick has been coaching NEAFL club NT Thunder since the end of 2013, leading the side to the 2015 premiership.
It's understood the Tigers have been looking at Clarke to fill one of the several spots available on their coaching panel. Should Clarke be successful, it's likely he would take on a development role at Punt Road. He would also be reunited with former Saints teammate and now-Richmond development coach Andrew McQualter.
The Tigers' coaching panel underwent significant change at the end of the 2016 season following an extremely disappointing season in which the club won just eight games and finished 13th after making the finals in the three preceding years.
Assistant coaches Mark "Chocco" Williams, Ross Smith and Greg Mellor were all sacked by the club, while fellow assistant Brendon Lade also left the club to take up a role as Port Adelaide's ruck coach. The future of another assistant – Mark P. Williams – is unclear.
Justin Leppitsch – sacked at the end of the season after three unsuccessful seasons as Brisbane Lions coach – has been targeted by the Tigers for a return to Richmond, where he had been an assistant coach before assuming the Lions job at the end of 2013. The Tigers say they are keen to secure Leppitsch's services again, provided he is in the right frame of mind after his challenging experience at the Gabba.
The Tigers have already added highly rated Geelong assistant Blake Caracella to their coaching panel, luring the dual premiership player after seven seasons at the Cats. Caracella has again teamed up with Neil Balme, who recently left Collingwood to join the Tigers as their football department chief. Caracella and Balme worked together at the Cats before Balme left Geelong after the 2014 season.
Recently retired Richmond backman Troy Chaplin has also been linked to a role on the new-look Tigers coaching panel, as has former Western Bulldogs assistant Brett Montgomery, who was an unsuccessful candidate to replace Leppitsch as Lions senior coach. That job ultimately went to outgoing Hawthorn football department boss Chris Fagan.
Tigers senior coach Damien Hardwick has two seasons to run on his contract but another year of failure in 2017 appears likely to spell a premature end to his tenure. The Tigers conducted a review of their football department in the wake of their underperformance this year. Balme was hired as part of the restructure that stemmed from the review.
Clarke played 105 games for St Kilda and one for the Lions over a decade at the elite level. He would be a rare Indigenous appointee to an AFL coaching panel. In 2016 there were just two Indigenous coaches on AFL club panels: Roger Hayden at Fremantle and Andy Lovell at Gold Coast.

Clarke would be a good get. :shh
-
We can do better
-
Clearly the club misunderstood when it was advised that our coaching staff needed some X-factor....
-
We can do better
Sure, but may be a useful addition with some mentoring of any indigenous players we may add to the list.

Absolutely.
I know someone that knows him pretty well through footy circles and is a massive wrap. That same person is a massive wrap for McQualter one our development coaches. But knowing the guy, he knows what he is talking about.
We need to surround ourselves with experienced coaches, coaches that have coached at the highest level. But it really doesn't matter who we put there if Dimma isn't willing to listen.
-
Minty and Leppa would fit the need
-
LMAO at getting Leppa AGAIN!!
We stuff him off and he goes and coaches Brisbane into the ground and like dimmer, has nothing but excuses.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
What a poohole

Leppa,would be good. We need assistant coaches that are prepared to tell our coach that our game plan sucks and has to change dramatically. Leppa as a senior coach more likely than most to call,Dudwick out.

Agree so let's hope they get him over the line now he's missed out on the Lions gig
-
Mcqualter? I question your source knows what he is on about
How has our developing been travelling since his appointment?
Every single one of these flogs on the coaching/development/recruiting panel hired under dimwit, needs to be stuffed off
Montgomery would be a fine asset and with Caracella will fight over the top job
-
Mcqualter is a flog
Baby-Dimma
-
Chaplin has joined Melbourne's Coaching group
-
:cheers
-
Yep, its on their website - Chaplin has been appointed as their "Offensive Co-ordinator" for 2017 ...
Is that good?
Is that bad?
Ahh ... onya Troy ... Hi Melbourne! :santa

How has development been travelling?
McQualter has been a development coach at Richmond since 2014.
In that time he would have been looking after Lambert, Castagna, Short, Butler, Drummond, Menadue and Markov as smaller midfielder types.
Looking at that list do you think the results have been okay? Cos I think it's been a huge improvement.
The other one that stands out to me is Max Bailey.
He was the ruck/forwards coach in 2014.
He has said he was completely flummoxed by being made forwards coach as he said he had no idea of what was involved.
To my mind he was the main reason why Griffith went from having no experience as a ruckman to our second ruck/CHF.
In contrast Lade had been a clearance coach since 2009 and had direct input to Putt, Gourdis, Post, Browne, Vickery, Griffith, Derrickx, Elton and McBean.
It's always easy to just slag off ALL our coaches but if you try to look below the surface - at the results of coaching - you may find something worthwhile.

Well done to Chappy on getting a job at the Dees. Probably for the best as he is a bit too close to the boys to be coaching them.
-
I'm worried he's going to give the Demons all of Dimma's gameplan secrets!

Mate, i laughed to at the McQualter call too but he said he is unbelieveable. And knowing this bloke that is good enough for me. 100%

Look, I'm just glad we offered Lade a one year deal in the hope he found another job. Thanks to our astute employment process he took a better job and left the door for people like Chaplin to reject us also. :clapping

Dimma and Caracella. Don't need anyone else. Actually one too many

Yep. There were that incident where he jumped punched that lions player
Let's hope he applies the same tactics for those free loader types like Edwards

“Justin obviously knows Damien and our staff very well, and the knowledge and experience he’s gained in his senior coaching role over the last three years will be really beneficial to our football program,” Richmond’s General Manager – Football, Neil Balme said.
“Justin has maintained great relationships with our staff and players in recent years, and I understand he played a key role in the development of our backline players in his previous time at the Club.
“We’re really excited and look forward to welcoming Justin and his family back to Richmond, and continuing his coaching journey with the Tigers.”

Great to see the big blood nut back. We went south when he left. He might instill some spine and mongrel into this team.

Yeah Leppa was the reason we went south
Had he stuck around he would have been thrown under the bus with the rest if them

Even Harry could see it, and he usually doesn't have a clue
