Read this from BigFooty (http://www.bigfooty.com/forum/showpost.php?p=14008855&postcount=1):
"Just listening to 3AW, when they mentioned they were trying to contact Richmond's president in regards to their performance on Thursday night. Initially he refused, but they just mentioned that he has since changed his mind and will go public tomorrow."
-
I am not sure this is a good idea
Devil if you devil if you dont
He doesn't say what some want to hear... more hysteria
:help
-
I'm a little concerned about this, March has a habit of not keeping his mouth shut when required
-
Agree Infamy. I would say keeping your mouth shut and bunkering down this week would be a high priority. Nothing that is said will do any good if the team is flogged again so meekly against the Cats.
-
why would he go 'public' tomorrow for?
honestly, if it is what i'm thinking of, we will be 'The Joke Of The AFL'.

I think it just means he'll respond to the press' questions
I hope it's none of this prepared statement rubbish
-
Yeah talking only comes back to bite us. We never seem to learn :banghead
-
Whether it's a good move or not to be interviewed, it's something he has to do after that performance I think.

Hope it is all right to copy whole if not please advise or correct mods.
Gary March:
* CLose to most disappointing performance he has seen
* Spoken to TW yesterday - normal chat. TW & players incredibly disappointed
* Has no theory as to what caused it.
* the only thing that is a concern is that on the "big stage" (and against Carlton) we have not been able to perform when we have expected to perform.
(about TW's coaching future)
* If Eddie thinks Kevin (Sheedy) is such a good coach he should offer him a position at Collingwood.
* This is one game. There are 22 games in the season.
* Will March resign if the club fails this year to make finals? - That's up to the members to decide.
Knocked Damien Barrett over factually incorrect articles. re Sheeds "He[Barrett] is so far off the mark it's not funny"
Tony Shaw admits he has not been a wrap on our list for 3-4 years. Foot skills are no good and have not improved. Do you feel that you are improving even that you won 8 out of last 11 but only 1 against a top 8 side. Shaw thinks 8-9 players on the list are not good enough.
March responds you can't make 9-10 changes a year anymore because the depth of talent is not there.
"Our list has still got holes in it and we continue to address that" - specifically commented on Vickery, Browne and Post being recruited.
* A couple of young blokes will have a chance this week to play (duh)
* Terry will coach for this season. We are addressing what happened last Thursday. We have 21 weeks to go. We are not going to be reactionary after one performance. Missing out on finals would be unacceptable to our club. We are one game in.
* The other night we had 22 players who performed below their best. Deledio, Foley, 21-23 years of age - people are questioning their ability - they weren't doing that last year.
re Cousins - was he checked out physically?
* "Yeah, no he was" Matt Hornsbury(sp?) checked him out personally. Richo had a period of 4 years where he had chronic hamstring problems. Now he has been managed well to not miss a game due to hamstrings in awhile.
March getting stuck into Shaw that he is not an expert on substance abuse (re: Cousins). Shaw: "Richo and Johnson have not been on illegal jobs ripping their bodies about" - insinuating that Cousins' drug use may have made his body more fragile - eg: Hamstrings.
What are expectations for Geelong game?
* Expectations are that we go out and start to play some football that we are capable of playing as we did last year. We are capable of playing much better football than we did the other night.
Do the coaching staff take any responsibility for things they could have done better?
* Yes. Everyone is disappointed and take responsibility for what happened. Everyone knows they are better than that.
Has it become too much the "Ben Cousins football club" and not the Richmond Football Club?
* not at all. We always expected that. We've had high profile players come under scrutany all the time. What we haven't been able to deal with is the pressure in big games. We have to deal with that more than the media pressure over Ben Cousins.
* March would like to lock down the opening game Thursday game as permanent for RFC but "we didn't do ourselves any favours" the other night.

Thanks woody and of course Y&B

I heard the entire interview and thought he was pretty good.
The only part he didn't handle well (IMO) was when T Shaw started linking a drug addict to chronic hamstrings. March lost a bit of composure and started talking over the top of Shaw - but it was great to hear the passion in his voice and the support for Cuz.
Loved the comments March made when asked about King Eddies comments about Sheedy taking over after Round 4. Basically made the comment that perhaps Eddie might like to have a chat to Sheeds given his sides inexplicable loss to the Crows yesterday :lol.
The other aspect of the interview that I liked was he repeated statements (despite 3AA trying the target the coach) that everyone at the club takes responsibility including the coach and the 22 that were on the park.
Answered the questions around the coaching tenure, our list management and his own term well. Good leadership to get on the front foot and speak up, shouldn't be too much the media can spin into a headline this time.
-
Heard it and was pleasantly surprised by his interview. Still of the view that he perhaps should sit back and say nothing. Eddie should butt out of the Tiges affairs...he definitely has a confict of interest with his journo/president roles.
-
Was it Tiger Tenacity of old ?
-
Thanks to Y&B forum again :clapping
Here's the audio for those that missed it:

Caro asked March about our older players like Bowden and whether they should have retired last year. March said Joel, Richo and Browny carried us through our 8 wins in the second half of last year. All three were important to that.
The rest is well summarized by Woody on Y&B.

Eddie wont butt out because with his conflict he can deflect attention of the Pies and their loss and Mick's future
-
Gary actually did well in the interview. Nice to Damian Barrett get a deserving whack lol. Is Shaw now an expert in the effects of drugs on hamstrings...
One of them could have picked March up on the comment that there are still holes in our list when we've said over preseason we were lock and loaded to go but Gary got away with it even though what he said was correct. There are still holes or at least young players who need a few years to develop to fill these holes. More the 2011-12 range.
-
just listened to it and i have to say I was very impressed with Gary March
Finally someone gave Barrett the whack he deserves, especially after Saturday's article (which I haven't been able to find on the web)
Had no problem with how he handled Shaw, who came across as a nuffer. Tony proved what an imbecile he is
Had chuckle when Tony Shaw said "gary you're not listening to me"... quite frankly Tony no-one wants to :rollin
Time for us to go on the attack me thinks
:gotigers

Would think that the above comment made by Tony Shaw is correct though. 100%

Sadly for Tony Jack his opinion doesn't count for much as he just comes across as just being bitter.... correct me if I wrong but didn't he apply for the RFC job once and got knocked back ???
Also the one thing that Shaw forgot to acknowledge and March picked him up on was the one top 8 team we beat was the team that won the flag; Hawthorn .... or doesnt' that count for anything

Interesting game that one, betting trends suggest that the Dawks werent on there game that week. ;) It actually probably doesnt count for anything, Pies beats Cats by 75 points last year too

Hmmm what are you implying
And you didn't answer both questions ;)
Somethings never change ;)
-
He did apply for a job, an assistant roles, was never in contention though, Wouldnt think he is bitter, although he likes to ""slag"" clubs.
Slagged Collingwood big time last year

Your Right about one thing WP, it doesn't count for nothing.
How the fu.. could it? The hawks ended up winning the flag. It was all strategy, a word we wouldn't even know how to spell.

Actually in hindsight Jack this reponse says a lot about you and your "bias" ;) ;) but let's move on shall we

Are you saying that Clarkson deliberately coached the Dawks to lose that game so they could be fired up for the finals.
Well I have heard it all now.

no i never said that but i dont think they cared 2 much about beating us.
if we had beaten them when both our sides season was on the line then it would be a good win but we NEVER win games we NEED to
