Adam Kingsley will join Richmond’s coaching ranks next season, following eight seasons with St Kilda.
Kingsley will be an assistant coach at the Tigers from the 2019 season, following the Club’s recent announcement that Ben Rutten will depart at season’s end.
A highly credentialed coach, Kingsley is a graduate of the inaugural Level Four Coaches Program, was named the AFL Coaches Association’s Assistant Coach of the Year in 2015, and is very highly regarded by his peers.
Kingsley will be reunited with Richmond senior coach, Damien Hardwick, the pair are former Port Adelaide teammates and both 2004 premiership players.
Kingsley played 170 games for Port Adelaide, from the Club’s inaugural season in 1997, retiring at the end of 2006, and won the Club’s best and fairest in 1998.
Following his retirement, Kingsley remained at Port Adelaide as an assistant coach until the end of 2010 when he crossed over to the Saints. He coached the forward line, midfield and transition in his eight seasons at the Club.
“We’re really impressed with Adam and feel that he’ll be a great addition to Richmond’s coaching department,” Richmond General Manager – Football, Neil Balme said.
“With 12 years’ coaching experience, Adam sees the game really well, is a strong communicator, and we feel that he’ll connect really well with our coaches and players, and complement our coaching program.
“We look forward to welcoming Adam, his wife Nadine and children Cayla, Ethan and Raf to Richmond at the start of our pre-season.”

The other interesting one was Lade moving to Stkilda.
When he left Punt Road he signed a 4 year deal with Port and now at the Saints after 2

Hope he shows better form at RFC

Another Power premiership star, Adam Kingsley, has shifted from St Kilda to Richmond to run stoppages in a coaching panel shuffle.
Kingsley's level of professionalism has been praised among coaches and players at Punt Road this pre-season.
He assumes the role from Andrew McQualter who will own the forward line, with Caracella maintaining the offensive movements as Leppitsch changes to the backline following the departure of Ben Rutten.

New name emerges in race for Adelaide coaching job
By SEN
3 Oct 2019
Richmond assistant coach Adam Kingsley has emerged as a leading candidate for the vacant Adelaide coaching position.
According to AFL Nation’s Tom Rehn, Kingsley interviewed “really well” and is “right in the final frame” for the Crows’ top job.
“In terms of coaches, there's one name I think to keep an eye on. Adam Kingsley I’m hearing is right in it at the moment with the Crows,” Rehn told Telstra AFL Trade Radio.
“Assistant coach at Port, eight years at the Saints, is with Richmond this year for their premiership as an assistant – I’m hearing he has interviewed really well and is right in the final frame.”
Rehn understands Adelaide’s external review will conclude next Tuesday with an announcement on their new senior coach a “day or two” later.
The results of the review are expected to be “pretty explosive” with several senior players having requested to be traded from West Lakes.
“I think on Tuesday we’ll get some pretty explosive stuff that will come out of there,” Rehn said.
“My understanding is they’re going to make some pretty big calls … I think it’s probably the biggest season they’ve had in their 30 years.
“I think it’s almost the most important time in their history right now. They’ve just got to get this right.”

Assistant Kingsley stays loyal to the Tigers
Jake Niall

9 October 2019 6:30pm
Richmond assistant coach Adam Kingsley has chosen to stick with Tigers rather than pursue the vacant Adelaide Crows coaching position.
Kingsley's decision to withdraw from the race for the Crows' coaching job leaves GWS assistant Matthew Nicks and Hawthorn assistants Scott Burns and Adem Yze among the remaining candidates to replace Don Pyke.
Kingsley, who coached Richmond's midfield in their premiership this year - his first at Tigerland - had been viewed as one of the leading candidates for the coaching position before his withdrawal.
Kingsley, who spoke to the Crows but never had an in-depth presentation, told Adelaide he wanted to develop further at Richmond and, in effect, the former St Kilda assistant and current lieutenant to Damien Hardwick has backed himself to win a senior job in future.
Yze recently signed a contract extension with the Hawks but is free to leave should be land the senior job at Adelaide. Assistant coaches almost invariably are not held to their contracts, or have get-out clauses, in the event of winning a senior position.
Kingsley was a leading candidate for the Crows position when Pyke won the job at the end of 2015 following the death of Phil Walsh during the season. He presented strongly then and was thus invited to apply again following Pyke's exit.
Hawthorn obviously would need to revamp their coaching panel if either Yze or Burns is appointed at the Crows. Both Burns and Nicks have South Australian backgrounds, which is arguably an asset in coaching Adelaide.

Well, there are plenty of Victorians who think Dan Andrews is doing a great job managing this pandemic so that proves stupidity exists at very high levels in this state.

Hardwick backs Kingsley for Pies job but delivers a warning for aspirants
By Jon Pierik and Damien Ractliffe
The Age
June 11, 2021
Richmond coach Damien Hardwick has warned inexperienced assistant coaches about seeking to replace Nathan Buckley at Collingwood but has strongly endorsed Adam Kingsley for the high-profile role.
A former premiership teammate with Hardwick at Port Adelaide in 2004, Kingsley, 45, has been a long-time AFL assistant through stops with the Power, Saints and, since 2019, the Tigers.
“You only have to see what our players think of him and I think the people that he has worked with at previous clubs would speak highly of him as well,” Hardwick said.
“I know, from my point of view, he was highly sought after a couple of years ago. I sort of managed to talk him into staying just for his own development. He has been incredible for our footy club. I have no doubt he can coach his own side in his own right and I think he is ready now.
“I hope to keep him as best I can but he is ready to coach, ready to go.”
Kingsley has been a highly rated midfield coach and this year is the Tigers’ defensive strategy and backs coach.
It’s been often pointed out that coaching the Magpies is unlike any other club because of the focus they generate, but Hardwick agreed that having spent time at the Tigers, also a power club, could give Kingsley “a leg up”.
“I think so but wonderful coaches are wonderful coaches. I just think he is a wonderful coach. He has a great relationship with his players, a great understanding of the game, and his worst day will be his first day. He will get better every time,” Hardwick said.
However, the triple premiership coach delivered a warning to inexperienced contenders.
While he did not specifically mention Sam Mitchell, who has also been linked to the Magpies’ job, the former Hawthorn skipper is among that group. Mitchell, 38, is a year older than Hardwick was when he was named Tigers’ coach in 2009, having been an assistant coach in the Hawks’ 2008 premiership.
Mitchell is in his fourth year as an assistant and development coach, and is leading the VFL Hawks this season.
“The sooner you get that senior coaching job, the sooner you are out of the game. My advice to a lot of players, and I have got no doubt that I was too young and inexperienced where I was at, the more experience you can get in certain roles and certain jobs, is really, really important,” Hardwick said.
“I think everyone is in a rush to get to the top but the fact of the matter is, as soon as you get to the top, you are quickly back on the scrap heap. I would be no rush if I was some of those younger guys trying to get a senior coaching job. Keep learning your craft and keep getting greater experience at what you can do.”

Kingsley last night on 7 news said hasn't spoken to Collingwood yet but he is interested in the the Pies coaching gig.

So we could be getting a new assistant coach for next year.

Get Buckley

Kingsley will be lucky to get a gig at the sandown pub let alone any afl club after his performance this year.

What’s he done wrong?

:lol
I suggest you dig up what area he is in charge of this year.
He has been exposed as a one trick pony once leppa, truck and Caracalla left.
He won't be getting a gig at Collingwood.
-
Yeah I won't be upset to see Kingsley leave. The line coaches have been poor this year. Or connection has been shocking.

Quarter time
Forward Line coach 2017,18,19,20: Ok fellas, not a great quarter we let them transition too easily with absolutely no pressure from us. Remember if you can’t mark the ball, make sure you get it to ground where our little fellas will be front and centre. We need everyone to step up the pressure when we don’t have the ball, we all need to chase, harass and get in their faces! Let’s keep the ball in our forward half and we get repeat entries and the opportunities will come. Let’s tackle them with everything, not 1 but 2 or three tackling the ball carrier. Pressure is the key! No one does it better than us! It’s our one-wood and it’s the Richmond way!

Dual Richmond premiership assistant Adam Kingsley has catapulted into the conversation for Collingwood's next coach as the Pies continue their process to find Nathan Buckley's successor.

Richmond is adamant that assistant Adam Kingsley will remain at the club until its 2021 campaign is finished, with coach Damien Hardwick challenging his players to ensure that won't happen before September.
As reported on AFL.com.au earlier last week, Kingsley has established himself as one of the frontrunners for the vacant Collingwood coaching job having helped the club to successive premierships in his first two seasons at Punt Road.
However, Hardwick insisted Kingsley will remain with the Tigers until season's end regardless of whether he wins the Pies coaching gig beforehand, with the club still holding out hope that its season will be extended into finals.
Richmond's dismal run of form had earlier continued against Geelong, with a disappointing 38-point defeat leaving the Tigers on the cusp of finishing the weekend four points and a significant percentage gap from eighth spot.
"Absolutely (he'll stay)," Hardwick said of Kingsley afterwards.
"He's a contracted coach for us and that's the way it operates from our point of view. He'll stay with us until we're finished."

Kingsley a contender for the GWS coaching gig. He had a recent meeting with them.

Hope he gets it

Honestly all for understanding the idea of wanting a senior coach gig but shopping yourself around to anything and everything. Time to move Adam on I think. Would prefer assistants who want to be there. And not ones that keep failing to get a job.
-
I don’t know just how good Kingsley is but I’d be worried if we lose him that we don’t replace him or replace him with someone from the vfl program like we have been doing recently (other than teague)

THE RICHMOND ASSISTANT WHO IS “HAPPY TO COACH ANYONE” NEXT SEASON
By Ethan Clark
SEN
23 July 2022
Richmond assistant coach Adam Kingsley has made his coaching intentions clear as a busy off-season approaches.
When asked on AFL Nation about his availability for the current vacancies in the coaching ranks, Kinglsey openly expressed his interest.
“That’s the ambition, to be a senior coach, so that’s where I’d like to be,” he said.
“The processes are, I’d presume, heating up and I’d certainly like to be a part of that.
“Obviously the last couple I’ve missed out on, and I got some stuff on those which is always valuable, and I’ve used the last 12 months to get to work and try to improve.”
The 170-game premiership player with Port Adelaide believes beggars can’t be choosers when it comes to his preferred destination.
“I’m certainly happy to coach anyone. North Melbourne, as we saw last week, has plenty of potential. They’re really difficult to get, these senior jobs, for any assistant and there's plenty of us out there who have ambitions to become senior coaches,” Kingsley said.
“Whilst you’ve got to be careful around what you do, you can sometimes be a little bit too picky. So, I think both jobs available at the moment (GWS and North Melbourne) are quite attractive.”
AFL Nation’s Kane Cornes questioned how Kingsley has managed to juggle his workload at Richmond, with preparing for and presenting at other clubs.
“It's really difficult, you’ve got to do your job first and foremost and that’s what I’ve been focusing on predominantly, but, at the right time, you try to find little gaps in your schedule and try to devote a little bit of work to either improving yourself as a coach or preparing for an opportunity to present something,” he explained.
“I’ve been in the game long enough to have a really clear understanding around what we think the game should look like, how we coach it and how we teach it.”
Kingsley has previously been an assistant coach at Port Adelaide from 2007-2010 before moving to St Kilda in 2010 and Richmond in 2019.

Honestly id sack Kingsley. I find this sort of stuff enormously unprofessional. You can be ambitious but this needs to be balanced with commitment to what you are currently doing. He never speaks of his love or desire to win anything at Richmond. Everything is self focussed on being a senior coach Never have I considered Kingsley committed to Richmond, we are simply a vessel to help him get a senior gig. Never have I thought him to be a Richmond person and invested in the club. Get rid of him.
-
It would be funny if his ambition to become a senior coach resulted in him losing his job as an assistant coach.
Icarus and all that. :P
-
If this was a player you'd drop him to the 2s and look for a way to get him out of your club.
Can't tell me the players respect this, connect with this type as much as a long term assistant who is invested in the players more then their own personal advancement.
I'm blown away we let this happen publically. Sure it will always happen naturally but I think it is a disgrace.
-
Yeah why come out publicly alot of standards have dropped for me.
-
He’s also doing terrible at his current job because we get completely dominated in the stoppages and clearances. Eff him off at year’s end.

In our premiership years we were ranked 13th (2017), 18th (2019) and 17th (2020) for clearances. It's not our game plan to dominate clearance.

It hasn’t been I agree, but the 6,6,6 rule in play the last couple of seasons it’s definitely had an impact on us.
We need to improve in this area

Totally agree on centre bounce clearance. No Dusty hasn't helped this year.
-
Clearances have never been our strong suit but where we used to lose clearances and intercept the ball we are now conceding goals from stoppages at an alarming rate.
-
Kingsley is the next Brian Royal and Peter Sumich. Destined to be a career assistant after missing multiple senior jobs. Alan Richardson was similar and when he finally got a senior job it went Sth quickly.
-
Id move him on. Id get Grigg in as a Senior Assistant and Lambert in as an assistant coach as well.
-
Would love Lambert to stay on and yes to Grigg
-
Saves some dollar too. Get young, hungry assistants in who cost 2/3 as much and then you can flesh out the footy department a bit better.
I do think it's good for players to get some experience of other systems elsewhere though, otherwise we won't evolve as they will repeat what they already know.
-
Never thought I’d see the day when people would pine for the return of Shaun Grigg :lol
-
Honestly the more I see this thread continue the more it annoys me.
The fact we had to let guys like MacRae and Leppa makes me sick we have this type of character developing our next gen. I'd be very disappointed if we renewed this contract.
We should be active in bringing across a really experienced assistant, one who isn't using us for a better job. Sounding out a Dean Cox, even Don Pyke. Even a David Noble, as much as Teague hasn't come at a time of success I'm all for this type of appointment. We forget that Leppa was a failure at Lions and was an incredible AC for us.
Bring Knights home. Partner that with some younger new ideas, get Grigg to come home and share Geelong secrets.
-
Tim Livingstone has a big off-season ahead of him I reckon.
Any insiders (or those with passing proximity to the club) willing to rank our assistants? I've always wondered about guys like Andrew McQualter--he's been with us through almost the whole shebang, but goes under the radar a fair bit. Maybe there's a tendency to underrate him as an assistant because he was a bit part player, etc.
-
Just so we criticise the right aspect. Adam is the Defense Line Coach. Andrew McQualter is Stoppages and Centre Bounces.
-
Website says mcqualter is midfield/offensive and Kingsley is midfield/stoppage. Is the website wrong and I’m going off out of date info?
-
Website says mcqualter is midfield/offensive and Kingsley is midfield/stoppage. Is the website wrong and I’m going off out of date info?
Based on the briefings I've received from both, this year, yep, the website is wrong.

this is 2022 coaching structure
Kingsley : Defense
Teague : Offense
McQualter : Stoppage
X Clarke : Forward
Lonegran : Head of Development
Morris : VFL Coach

Close to the worst group of assistants every assembled.
Compare that to Leppa, McRae, Rutten, Caracella and Kingsley. All of these guys are or will be senior coaches before long.
Our current assistants outside of Kingsley have no chance of being senior coaches and Teague was a massive fail.

We are one of the best ranked I50 teams..I reckon Teague has done his job.
I'd be looking at McQualter for our complete disaster at stoppages and Clarke for our inability to address I50 dominance.
-
Kingsley (2 flags) and McQualter (3 flags) haven't suddenly become bad assistant coaches. I'm a firm believer that players make coaches, not the other way around. If we'd been more composed in the last month, we'd be firmly inside the 8, knocking on a top 4 result and a genuine flag tilt would be on the cards. It's a fine line, and we don't need to throw the baby out with the bath water.
We'll undoubtedly make changes to assistants at the end of this season, and that will be for the best. Turnover of assistants is necessary to keep ahead of the curve.
-
Agree on Teague,
Our offense has been good. I mean the fact we had Clarke come in and kick 3 goals on debut, Cumberland coming on and making impact. Lynch being top of Coleman before injury just about. Jack being a year older and still getting shots on goal. I think Teague gets a tick.
Our midfield, pressure and defense at times has been belted and its what has cost us games (outside of the last 2 games and the kicking for goal debacles).
-
Just mentioned on 7 arvo news.
Kingsley to stay on at Richmond as assistant coach until our season is finished.
-
Delighted. Used us and Dimma to get a senior gig.
Good riddance.
Go and being Truck home.

Bring back rutten and Rance!
-
Well I for one wish him good fortune. I say well done!!

Bring Ben Rutten back for defence line coach. Put Kane Lambert in the group as well.

Can’t be serious here. You’d rarely find an assistant coach that doesn’t have ambition to be a senior coach including the guy your saying to bring home. We’ve now lost lepa, rutten and Kingsley to senior coaching positions, it’s just the nature of the game.
Came in and has been assistant in 2 premierships in 4 seasons with one yet to finish. Good luck to him.

Pathetic post.
Well done Adam Kingsley, we are building a great reputation for delivering elite AFL coaches after being the basket case that could barely attract anyone to even be a coach 20 years ago.
I am so proud of the progress our club has made in this area - it speaks volumes of our program.
-
Well deserved was part of our success hard nut what gws need to.
-
I actually dont mind the GWS, probably due to the goodwill shared amongst our clubs. Was hoping Leon would steer them to ultimate glory one day but it's not to be.
I'm glad to see the back of Kingsley, but i do wish him good luck and thanks for the flags.
Anyone who was employed when we won our flags deserves kudos even blokes like George.
-
Congratulations!
Assistant coaches from successful Clubs get gigs at other Clubs
IIRC it was how Dimma ended up with us
He's worked hard for it. He will always part of 2 premierships
Well done Adam

2 so far……..

If he's anything like Craig McRae ...
I'm probably late to the party here, but McRae has really impressed me with how he holds himself. Looked really good on 360 last night. No wonder we have been so successful with this caliber of people in the club.
-
Would be great to get Rutten back at club. Believe he has conducted himself extraordinarily well in really trying circumstances.
-
Well, it was 3 under Hardwick …
Rutten
McRea
Kingsley
Would be nice to back Rutten and Grigg, Newman and Knights back at Richmond.
Edwards and Lambert need to stay involved.
-
Nah Fly left as an assistant to hawks and then got the senior coach position at Collingwood from there. Technically truck also left for an assistant role at Essendon before being promoted to senior coach a couple of seasons later. The only assistants we have lost under Dimma to direct senior coaching positions that I can remember are lepa to Brisbane and now Kingsley to the giants.

‘Dimma stopped talking to me’: Brutal Tiger exit revealed
Adam Kingsley had tried out for several senior AFL coaching jobs, with his bosses’ backing at Richmond. But when he finally landed one at GWS, everything changed.
