March coming on shortly

Summary
* Caro doesn't speak for him (Gary) and he doesn't know where she got that info from.
* Got Sheeds back to help with membership and marketing believing his days of coaching were over. We told him at the time it would be a non-football role. But now the landscape has changed and he's put his hand up as Cameron said yesterday,
* Had a chat with Sheeds on the Gold Coast and he confirmed to Gary he wants to go through the process.
* We want a rigorous process. The only Board member on the panel in the first phase is the football director Tony Free. There's no agenda or no board directors against Sheedy. There's no line through Sheeds. We haven't ruled out anyone as the process is just about to start.
* We don't run a dictatorship at the RFC and sometimes Gary is outvoted by other directors despite having strong views.
* He's had no phone calls from anyone about Sheeds applying until Cameron phoned him yesterday about this (KB, Caro comments). So it hasn't been divisive.
* Disagreed with Denham about our list being as bad as Denham has made out (worst in the AFL). Had this discussion with Denham about the list the other day - Deledio, Cotchin, Tambling, Foley, etc...
* Denham said RFC would eat a new coach as we'll struggle over the next 2 years. Gary replied that Denham had us making the 8 and even some commentators had us top 4. Our list isn't as bad as is being made out. As for eating a new coach things change in footy.
* We have a good Board, admin and new facilities at Punt Road and Craigieburn coming plus a young list. It's an exciting place to come to.
* There's a strong relationship between the Board/admin and past players. We'll be at the past players association 50th celebration, Tony Free - an ex-player - is on the Board, and this admin got KB back to the club.
* KB asked about Malthouse? Cameron is dealing with the process so Gary is leaving it to him so Gary said he can't comment on who is applying as he doesn't know.
* Reiterated Sheeds will go through the process and if the process selects him as the best candidate then he'll be coach.
* KB's producer has called Caro yesterday to come on the show but they haven't heard back yet.

2/ kb should keep his campaign going
3/ rfc has been a sham for along time, we need a coach who can get this club back where it belongs. an untried coach at this stage would be disaster and kill us.
4/ this leaves 4 options
- malthouse
-sheedy
-matthews
-pagan

You've made 2224 posts I have most likely not liked but that one is a ripper and right on the money.
Not a bad ratio. :lol ;) :thumbsup
Unfortunately Tigertime only wants us to look at Dads Army. ;D

WTF???????

Well said Daniel :clapping
In regards to March from just reading the above it sounds like he said all the proper things, of course I didn't hear it but it sounded forceful and purposeful.

we are a basketcase have been for a very long time
they are the only 4 guys who know success that can coach
its no time for experimentation
we tried that with spud , young dimwit
has to be sheedy or malthouse

Just to add Gary said he hasn't seen Caro's article as he has been in NZ.

spud like Wallet should never have been hired in the place.
Spud was hired on the back of what 4-5 years with the pies of which they never made the finals once.
He was a rubbish assistant just like Royal and McCrae are now at our club.
We have too many times made coaching decisions based on market sentiment or who others dictate is the right person for the job because it suits them.
well all those pricks can get stuffed. If it ends up being Sheeds so be it but stuff mate we have to search through the whole 15 of em to find the best.
After we do that im sure we will find its one of Bucks or Hardwick for the gig.
Malthouse the only outside if the Pies pee him off. If that happens we should swoop on him because i have always said he is the best coach in the AFL

Gary March :clapping :clapping
Could be the making of him as a president.
Although the comment
* KB asked about Malthouse? Cameron is dealing with the process so Gary is leaving it to him so Gary said he can't comment on who is applying as he doesn't know.
:lol Might just be best to say you would rather not discuss who and who hasn't applied than to plead ignorance.
What is clear from this is that Caro's comments are stirring up trouble. She's behaving rather strangely.

It's interesting Jake - I just took Caro's article yesterday as being an opinion piece on the topic of Sheeds wanting to coach. I didn't read and think "she's out to stir up trouble". I just thought she's giving her opinion on it and using comments that have been in the public domain for some time now.
I will admit that I do agree with what she wrote yesterday especially the bit about certain past players having stirred up trouble in the past. Sadly for the RFC that is true

Memo to a few:
Stick to the topic and away from all personal sniping, especially those that involve avoiding the swear filter
:banghead

I read that into it too WP. I just can't understand what the fuss is about.

We didn't try a new coach with Frawley, we got the only person who wanted the job, the assistant coach from the wooden spooners
We went for experience with Walls & Wallace and that got us no where
We went for an untried coach with Geishen and that got us no where too
Face it, we have a crap track record with all types of coaches in recent history, so we just need to go for the BEST candidate

I reckon she is stung by the to and fro with Eddie McGuire. She obviously doesn't want Sheeds to coach. Possibly on football grounds, possibly for her own reputation. She said that there is a line through Sheeds name and if there isn't she is plain wrong. Now we have a circus because of that article.
Either way I think her problem with Sheeds coaching and KB pushing Sheedy's case is a little hypocritical. Either you can be a Richmond person and be paid to have your opinion in the public domain or not. I'd rather they both shut up and we finished the process, but Caro has been doing us a disservice for years with her opinions and undisclosed sources IMHO. I can empathise with a 403 game player finding it hard to show a little restraint in pitching for his premiership teammate.

Gary March "delighted" by Sheedy interest
Finn Bradshaw | July 09, 2009
RICHMOND president Gary March has denied claims that the current Tigers' board would never appoint Kevin Sheedy as coach.
Media reports yesterday suggested that some board members were vehemently opposed to the idea of Sheedy as Richmond coach and would not ratify his appointment even if the coaching sub-committee recommended him.
“The board doesn’t have any negativity towards anyone because we don’t get involved other than give (the sub-committee) the criteria that they’ve got to follow and the type of person we want to get,” March said on radio station SEN this morning.
Richmond is looking for a new coach following Terry Wallace’s departure. Sheedy, who coached Essendon for 27 years, announced on his SuperFooty blog last week that he wanted the role.
The Tigers have put a lengthly selection process in place as they search for their new senior coach. Last weekend, Sheedy said he was happy to go through the Tigers’ evaluation process, a decision which delighted the Tigers’ president.
“He is going to go through the coaching process which I’m delighted with because he’s an icon of the game and an icon of the club,” March said.
March said he hadn’t “put a line” through any contenders, but even so, he didn’t wield that sort of power
“Richmond Football Club is not Zimbabwe ... we don’t have a dictatorship. I don’t always get my way all the time … I don’t have that level of influence over other board members,” he said.
March said he had not yet discussed the coaching role with the former Tigers' legend.
“I’ve never had that conversation with Kevin. I’ve had conversations with Kevin Sheedy over the past two years to get him back involved with Richmond … centred around his desire to help us with marketing and at that stage, after the Essendon experience, he wasn’t looking to go back into coaching and we had a contracted coach so we never entertained Kevin coaching Richmond. But the landscape’s changed.”
It had been suggested that the groundswell of support for Sheedy was causing unrest at Tigerland, something dismissed by March.
“I wouldn’t have thought (Sheedy’s interest) was divisive. I haven’t heard anything from anyone,” he said.

I'd take Clarkson's premiership hangover any day over Pagan's wooden spoon performance at Carlton.

All the above have one thing in common - they became coach with no selection process and no competition for the job. Walls was a desperate grab to replace Northey, Geisch was our assistant coach who got the job based on 4 wins out of 5 as caretaker, Frawley was the only one who showed up, and Wallace was courted by Casey and Miller.
