-

If he's 1 of the 15 and he's quietly sneaked into the list of interviewees with no fuss we might as well hear what he has to say for himself.

Can tell you all this.
Richmond are after a ""senior coach"" and the whispers arond say that both Matthews or Malthouse are there preferred options.
They dont want to take on a "'younger coach ""
Beleive what you want, dont shoot the messenger

The Matthews story is out in public as he and Tony Free had breaky together yesterday morning

I kind of wish they would just appoint the freaking coach now and save us all these rumors. But I think we are our own worst enemies for believing just about everthing we see or hear.
Malthouse is really the only fit for mine out of the "older coaches" I really thought we would concentrate on a younger coaching outfit. Maybe a contract with Mathews for 2 years and then agreeing to sign over the reigns to his assistant after that???
Who knows?
-
It gives me great confidence to hear they are looking for a "senior" coach and not a "young" coach.
Even if it is hear say it is amazing the relief I feel.
To Matthews, Malthouse or Sheedy, welcome ,welcome and welcome. p.s- :help

Sheedy is gone and Malthouse is a very very distant chance, Mathews has said he won't even apply for the job so who knows.
-
Can anyone confirm this:
I slightly recall Matthews been pushed out of Brisbane for similar reasons to Sheedy being pushed out of Essendon.
"Finished" "Washed Up" "Lost the players" The poor treatment of his players etc.
Why did Matthews leave Brisbane?
-
Might have also had something to do with this bloke Voss.

From memory I think he said that he would leave the lions when he felt he had lost the players and he didn't think he could take the club any further...... looks like that happened.
-

Just like it might happen to Collingwood not this year but in the next few about a bloke called Malthouse for a bloke called Buckley.
Eddie can't have Mick without losing Bucks or vice-versa. No matter how hard Eddie tries he can't have his cake and eat it too.
All speculation.
-
Has nothing to do with what he could do with Richmond. He had been at Lions for ages 3 flags etc..
Has had a break from coaching. Stayed up with the pace of the game in commentry and would be up for a chance to prove something again. Especially to people who say he was washed up etc..
-
If you've ever employed someone, normal practice is to find out the reasons of leaving there previous jobs. If Matthews left Brisbane because of bad blood I'd say that'd hurt his chances coming to Richmond.
By no stretch am I saying this happened I just remember that he was on the decline when he left Brisbane.
Think Lethal if he had the passion along with any other candidate couldn't do any worse then what we've seen in the past.

Wasn't there a rumour that Brown said it was either him or Matthews that goes
-
Being on a decline after so much success and stepping away when he did was I believe the right thing to do. Refreshed Mathews could rise to the coaching arena with us once again.

No rumour - that was fact. I went to a sportmans night where Aker told us he heard those words come straight from Browns mouth. The admin knew, Brown was as good as gone before Matthews pulled the pin and then all of a sudden Brown was denying everything. Akar claimed he :chuck when he saw Brown on the Footy Show blatantly lie.
Call him what you will but Aker is painfully and dangerously truthful which is why he has got himself in so much trouble over the journey

Is this the same messenger that delivered the scoop to all of us that Sheedy would be the next coach of Richmond?? If it is, I thought he would have had enough bullets in him by now to make his own fallout shelter. ;)
-
no different messenger, if was from the Indian taxi driver. LOL
-
For what it's worth Caro doesn't believe Leigh will ever coach again. He's just acting as a statesman.

In the blog today Robbo thought quite the opposite. He mentioned on quite a few occasions that he had asked Matthews a number of times and each time was given a 'non-answer'. Not a yes but definitely not a no. His opinion (and he stressed it was just an opinion) was Matthews was a good chance to coach again and that he (Matthews) has already spoken to Richmond about that. Interesting times.

the process will be followed through.
as for LM there are many suitors willing to listen. :thumbsup

LW?
Leigh Watthews? ;D
maybe Ricky Ponting will be our coach after all.
-
As much as I'd love him as coach, there appears to be a bit of a Malcolm Blight type scenario here
Would we be convincing someone who really isn't that interested in coaching again out of retirement?
Does he still have that fire in the belly?
Don't get me wrong, he's almost exactly what we need, but I just hope he'd be partly driving the process, not just chasing a carrot
