Last night on FoxFooty, they said we paid the least out of all the clubs for our coaching staff.
Can't imiagine there would be too many complaints about how we're going, so we're probably getting the most value for money
:thumbsup

Don't tell the ignorant opposition supporters who call TW "Wallet". ;)

And the Pies pay the most. We certainly got value for money last week :lol.

About 18 months ago I called for the establishment of a Tiger Academy...which we sorta got...I now call for a full time development coach to be full time developing all the kids under the age of 22. The aim is to fast track as many as we can. Surely we can find $150,000 a year to pay someone decent to do the job.

That's already on the cards isn't it for 2007? I remember reading that somewhere.

Greg Denham
The Australian
July 12, 2006
The club's new-found strength on and off the field means its board will endorse an increase in football department spending next year after several years of budget restraint.
"We need to put more back into our footy department, and (coach) Terry Wallace will have extra resources," March said.
March said football priorities included a new player development coach, another assistant coach and more recruitment resources.
Last year Richmond spent $10.256m on its football department. Only the Kangaroos spent less. That figure was down about $300,000 on 2004, and more than $4.25m less than Sydney paid to its football department to win the flag.
Because of Richmond's young list - the Tigers have 30 players aged 23 or younger - a development coach will be the first new position appointed.
"Greg Miller has been wonderful with recruiting but we're going to have more on the ground in Victoria and interstate by next year," March said.
March said the Tigers started this year with one less rookie-listed player because of financial constraints, but would have a full list of options available for 2007.

Just too much good news coming out of Punt Road in one day lol. Good to hear we'll be trying to fill all our rookie spots. With Gas a vet that'd mean two more rookies than this year.

Have any names been bandied about?
We've had great success picking up Kingy as a recently retired player. Saw on Y&B someone mention Glenn Archer. Just bring over any opposition premiership player we loved to hate ;D. I've heard rumours that maybe one of the new coaches will come from one of the instructors in our T@FE courses.

Tigers act on player concerns
Caroline Wilson
The Age
July 14, 2006
RICHMOND players said they wanted to spend more time with Terry Wallace on the training track and have requested better off-field facilities as part of a detailed mid-year review devised by the coach.
Every member of the Tigers' senior list responded anonymously during the mid-season break to a questionnaire put forward by Wallace, in a first for club and coach.
On the eve of tonight's match against Melbourne, Wallace told The Age he was "amazed" by some of the thoughts and grievances of his players, which he described as a "review sheet" of every aspect of the club. He yesterday met club president Gary March to put forward a series of requests, largely on the basis of what he learnt from his players.
As a result of comments from the younger players, Wallace has asked the club to employ a full-time development coach to work exclusively with the younger players and to act as a conduit between the senior team and VFL affiliate Coburg.
"All I asked of the players was that they could, if they felt comfortable, put in how many years of service they'd had at the club," said Wallace. "It's a fine line between letting the inmates run the asylum and getting a genuine feeling from your most important personnel how you can improve.
"The younger players made it clear they need more help acclimatising and that they have felt a little lost in the process between Coburg and ourselves. The players overall talked about improved facilities, medical assistance and they really took trouble over it. I gave them a week's notice and then a full day to fill it in."
Wallace said the players' thoughts, along with the club's improved financial performance, would result in him spending the next month reviewing the Tigers' entire football structure and operation. "I won't tell you exactly what they said but I found some of their thoughts amazing and you will see changes here as a result," he said.
Wallace has also requested extra recruiting facilities — involving part-time experts interstate and improved technology to examine junior footballers. March said he had agreed in principle to both requests.
While Wallace had briefly outlined some of the players' thoughts to the board, March said directors would further examine improvements to the football department at next week's board meeting.
"Terry's submitted a wish list and obviously development of our younger players and recruiting are critical areas and he's already received a 'yes' from me," said March.
"Last year we were 15th in the AFL in football department spending. We won't be in the top four next season but we will have moved up a fair few spots. We've already started looking for the right people but we want a lot of what the players felt to remain confidential."
While reluctant to detail the review's findings, Wallace conceded one view put forward was that the team wanted to see more of the coach at training, an issue he said he would address during pre-season training.
"I took what they said on board about that," he said, "but my view of assistant coaches is a bit like recruiters; what's the use of having them there if you are not going to empower them."
Wallace also revealed yesterday that he had overhauled the team's game plan following Richmond's thrashing at the hands of Sydney in round seven. "When I came here, I had a game plan which was set; well, it changed completely after the Sydney game," he said.
"Having watched every single game during my two years out, I believed the way to go was a run-and-carry, flowing style … before that game we had one style of play; now we have three styles of play we can use within one game."

It was mentioned in the Herald-Sun today that Brett Ratten has sent his CV to all 10 Vic clubs. Ashley Prescott's name has been mentioned with Wheadon gone but I wonder if we'd be interested in Ratten to help out as a midfield coach and as someone recently out of footy? We want to add to our coaching panel not just replace Wheadon.
-
Wouldnt think Terry would want too many ""budding senior coaches"" joining the ranks after what has happened at the Blues. ;)
-
What's happened to Wheadon?
If you finish last two years in a row it doesn't matter who you have as asistants - you're in trouble ;D
Who do we think will finish last in 2007?
-
David contract will not be renewed.
He has offcially left as of last Tuesday
-
North will finish last after they trade there picks away in the draft and there first pick to us lol

I was actually just thinking today how much our club culture has improved since Miller & Wallace have arrived. The supporters are more supportive of everything. In the past weve been way to busy trying to destroy whats being built, now it seems everyones just trying to add to whats developing.

Any interest here in a ex-Tiger returning as assistant coach? (albeit a classic 80's recruting flop)
Phil Walsh on move
12 September 2006 Herald-Sun
Damian Barrett
RESPECTED assistant coach Phil Walsh is poised to end a long association with Mark Williams at Port Adelaide and head back to Victoria.
His name has been linked with vacancies expected to be created in the Geelong football department.
Walsh yesterday refused to comment on the possibility of leaving Port Adelaide and heading to Geelong, where he was fitness program manager and runner in the 1990s.
It is believed he has a year to run of a contract with Port.
"No comment, there's nothing to say on the matter," Walsh said yesterday.
Walsh played 122 matches for Collingwood, Richmond and Brisbane and has been crucial to Port's success since joining it in 1999.

Even the betting agencies reflect how the culture of the Richmond has changed for the better.

Given the decision was made mid-year to give Thomas the shove,
Last week Spida was asked if he'd go to St Kilda (I think it was on WLF). Said he wouldn't while GT was there.
The comment was made that it ruled out him going to St Kilda then. Spida replied, "Who's to say GT will be there next year?"
Methinks Spida knew Thomas was gone before Thomas did.
The conspiracy theorist in me says Aints people have been priming Spida for a return for a while.
-
Yeah I too wondered if Spida knew something the rest of us didn't.
-
Would Mick McGuane be open to coming back full time??
-
What are people's thoughts on Leon Cameron comming back as a skills coach.

A good idea if we could get him back from the kennel. The doggies skills continue to be one of the best in the comp.
Not sure if McGuane would want to come back with the senior coach's job up for grabs at the Saints.

On the footy show, Thomas said the falling out with Buttress and the board had been going on for a year or two and with the Saints board singling out replacements before their loss to the Dees it wouldn't be a surprise if Spida knew something. He obviously would still know people close to the inner sanctum at the Saints.

No idea how he would go as an assistant coach but having played under Sheeds, Matthews and Malthouse isn't a bad thing to have on your c.v.

Provided all his outside-footy issues have been resolved, you would think he would be one of a number of potential candidates. I wouldn't mind us getting Micky McGuane back at the club.

September 26, 2006
TRIPLE Brisbane premiership player Craig McRae is keen to move into the coaching ranks.
McRae, a specialist forward for most of his career, has already been interviewed by Richmond and Port Adelaide.
The Tigers are increasing their list of assistant coaches under Terry Wallace. The Power needs to find replacements for Tony McGuinness, who has resigned and Phil Walsh, who will spend most of 2007 in another role with Port Adelaide.
McRae began his career in the SANFL where he played for Glenelg under current Port coach Mark Williams.

Silvagni turns his back on the Tigers
Caroline Wilson
The Age
October 4, 2006
STEPHEN Silvagni is weighing up his football future as his potential employer Richmond is on the verge of appointing the recently retired Jade Rawlings to its assistant coaching ranks.
Silvagni, who was recently interviewed for a Richmond job, is understood to have been unwilling to commit to the Tigers because of a two-year agreement stipulated by coach Terry Wallace, an indication that Carlton's full-back of the century wants to remain open to the possibility of a senior position at the Blues at the end of next year.
Silvagni, who has declared an ambition to coach and who will radically reduce his role at Channel Ten next season, is now expected to be interviewed for assistant positions at Geelong, St Kilda and potentially Hawthorn. The Tigers, meanwhile, will also secure an agreement with a player development manager this week, with former Brisbane Lion Craig McRae the frontrunner. There is tipped to be a vacancy at Hawthorn with assistant coach Todd Viney being pursued by Adelaide.

Jade Rawlings will be given the big responsibility of tutoring Richmond's key position players in 2007 after the former Hawk, Bulldog and Kangaroos star was appointed the Tigers' new assistant coach on Wednesday.
Rawlings replaces the long-serving David Wheadon and will begin work with the Tigers in late October.
Richmond is also expected to announce another addition to its coaching panel in coming days with former Brisbane goalsneak Craig McRae the favourite to be named in the new position of player development manager.

It's going to be interesting to see Rawlings pass on tips to his brother-in-law. Good luck lol.
-
Rawlings was just on SEN:
* He feels very fortunate to get a job straight away after retiring at a club that's on the cusp under a top coach.
* Will be responsible for brother-in-law Richo including his body language, lack of chasing out of the forward line etc (laughs...)
* Familiar with the Tiger boys who have played senior footy but needs to tidy up on the Casserly's etc.
* As he became a senior player he got interested in coaching. Likes helping people as well as preventing them from wrong things he did as a player.
* His role - accountable for our KPPs but that's still being fully organised. Also will spend time at Coburg.
* Wishes he could start tomorrow as he's really keen.
* Schwarz asked Rawlings what he could offer to the club's forward and backline? Rawlings said he was asked that in his interview and wasn't sure which end he could offer more than the other but his answer was forward line in terms of what he knew worked well as well as what he didn't like copping from backmen. He played backline for alot of his career too so he's familiar with both ends of the ground.
* Confirmed Woewoedin is one of the candidates for the other position but not sure where he is at. Rawlings said he would be a good choice if he got the job.

A Tiger supporting caller just rang in saying what's going on down at Punt Road getting basically a dud like Rawlings as assistant coach. Schwarz jumped in and said Rawlings' knowledge of the game is excellent and you need to sit down with him to see it.

I would have to agree with the caller. This is by far the worst decision made by the club since the arrival of Wallace. I felt for Jade when the Hawks basically screwed him a couple of seasons ago in the trading process but I don't believe from what I have seen of his demeaner that he has got what it takes to be a successful member of a coaching staff.
Wowoden (sp) will be a similar mistake if taken, McCrae (sp) would be the better choice.

Lion premiership star joins Tiger coaching panel
2:44:17 PM Thu 5 October, 2006
Tony Greenberg
richmondfc.com.au
The Richmond Football Club today announced the appointment of triple Brisbane Lions premiership player Craig McRae as its Player Development Coach.
McRae, a key member of the Lions’ premiership hat-trick in 2001-03, played 195 games and kicked 232 goals in a highly-successful AFL career from 1995-04.
He has spent the past couple of seasons coaching Queensland’s under-18s side and guided the Scorpions to the Division Two title at this year’s championships. That led to him being named assistant coach of the 2006 under-18 All-Australian team.
The Tigers believe McRae is an ideal fit for their newly-created position of Player Development Coach.

Just don't eff up dudes :thumbsup

tom hafey was a pathetic player, totally crap, but u would say he was a bad coach hey!
he is apparently very good from all reports from ppl in the know.
give the guy a chance b4 u crucify him

Unlike David King and now Craig McRae, Rawlings doesn't come from a successful premiership-winning club. I would say that would have a lot to do with the concerns. We've just got to trust the Club on this one as they did seem to go through a pretty extensive interviewing process. It wasn't like Spud where he got the gig by default just because he was the only one who said yes.

how many grand finals and or success did hafey have as a player? dont think he had any iirc
spud was the only player to accept a jog yes, but in this case a number of ppl wanted the job bar sos, and richmond chose who they wanted.....different all together

I don't think you can really compare a person's ability as a player compared to their ability to coach. Grant Thomas, Denis Pagan, Chris Connolly, Mark Williams and Neil Daniher didn't play in premiership winning sides and Paul Roos only played in a runner-up. Alastair Clarkson must have been so bad he doesn't even feature a mention on Wikipedia :lol
