Laidley onto Tigers' shortlist
Rohan Connolly | August 8, 2009
DEAN Laidley's AFL coaching career could resume as soon as next year, with the former North Melbourne coach guaranteed a spot in Richmond's final round of interviews for its coaching position.
Laidley, who has just returned from a holiday to the US, will be one of the final three or four prospects from whom the Tigers' appoint their coach for 2010, bypassing the early stages of the interview process and various tests other candidates have undertaken. While reluctant yesterday to divulge too many details, Laidley yesterday confirmed to The Age he had met Richmond general manager of football Craig Cameron before his departure, and that he was very interested in the job.
Laidley and his family returned to Australia from their three-week holiday only on Wednesday morning, but he expects to meet Richmond officials early next week.
"I met with Craig before I went away, and we said we'd have another conversation when I got back, but that hasn't happened yet," Laidley told The Age.
Laidley, who has already been offered several other roles with AFL clubs, said the holiday had recharged his coaching batteries suitably, and that he was keen to become involved in AFL football again at the highest level as soon as possible.
"I've got a real passion to coach again, whether it be next year or the year after. I think I've got a lot to offer any football club," he said.
Richmond is still completing its first-round of interviews, yesterday speaking to West Coast assistant coach Peter Sumich and Brisbane Lions' assistant Adrian Fletcher.
The Tigers will move to the second phase of the process next week, of which Hawthorn assistant Damien Hardwick, caretaker coach Jade Rawlings, Essendon assistant Alan Richardson, Geelong assistant Ken Hinkley and Collingwood assistant Brad Scott will be part. But the revelation that Laidley has been given the opportunity to circumvent the initial stages and proceed straight to the final consideration for the job indicates Richmond's regard for his coaching talents.
Sources from the Tigers and Laidley's old club yesterday confirmed the short-circuiting of the interview process for the three-time North Melbourne finals coach, and that there was plenty of excitement at Punt Road about his prospects of turning a young and developing list into a successful combination.
Laidley, who returned to Melbourne this week after an overseas trip that he enjoyed after leaving his mobile phone at home, quit as Kangaroos coach after round 12. The former West Coast and North Melbourne player took up the coaching role at Arden Street in 2003 and took the Kangaroos to the finals in 2005, '07 and '08. The highlight was an unlikely preliminary final appearance in 2007, but the Kangaroos were beaten by Port Adelaide.

Jack you and i know damm well this article is true.
Laidley...hahahahaha what a joke
might as well hire Humphrey B Bear as coach
what a farce
-
Please no more. Come back please Kevin Sheedy ;D stop the Richmond circus :rollin
-
the richmond circus is like being put through torture.
No more duds no more has beens. Please no
-
It aint a circus guys, Laidley is one of the most respected game day coaches in the competition and would thrive at a place like Richmond. He was destined to doom at NM as will any other coach at North whilst there is so much inequity in the competitions finances.
Laidley is extremely sought after by all clubs at the moment but just dont be surprised if he does land the job!!!
I for one would be excited by Laidley coaching Richmond, at least we wouldnt have to put up with what we witnessed last week. Jade showed the same as Terry an inability to overcome teams that go ultra flood against us.
Bring Laidley on I say!!!!!
-
sugark
u r correct
im not saying we should get laidley, but we should at least see what he has to say and offer
he is a damn good coach, and has the ability to bring crap teams up in th emould of mick malthouse. even mick said years ago that he rated dean as a coach
if dean laidley is the best man for teh job at the end of the process, so be it, he is young, hungry tough and the roos will regret loosing him
-
okay boys..
can someone remind me who recruited Jon Hay and Nathan Thompson for first round draft picks.
i dont want an idiot who is going to make decisions like that running our club.
At the end of the day i would like to find our own coach and give him all the resources he needs in terms of $$$ in development.
Enough with the pouching of ex coaches to our club. That being said Laidley would fit in nicely into a football director role.
-
Thanks but no thanks Dean
That is all.

There is no such thing as a "PROCESS" at Punt Road.
If there were Laidley would have to apply just like everyone else within the time frame given and Bux also.
But no these guys are automatically through to the next phase.
They have already made up their mind
-
March has to go, the process is flawed.
No wonder people turn there back on punt road

Yes l agree, March is not the person to run the Richmond football Club. Since he has been there the club has been a circus.

I'll bite...
Apart from Sheeds who has pulled out of this coaching circus ;D
-
WP - Wayne Campbell (thank god)
I think it's funny how I was firmly on the "sack March" campaign for the previous 2 years, however only now when he's not appointing the exact person some want in charge then they've jumped on board. The other weird thing is that I've jumped off for the moment.
I think the negativity and destabilisation he brought to the club last year was massively damaging to the side for 2009, he had a pretty poor background as a businessman also. His media work is average and that's being kind. He seems to know what to say to placate the ferals, but I've never thought there was much substance there as a club president.
That being said, I have no problem with the way he's handled himself this year. He's still crap answering questions in the media, however he's refused to make decisions based on public pressure and I've been wanting a president that does that for 20+ years. I hope the reason Jackstar is peeed off is because March is not paying any attention to coteries exerting pressure on the club to do what they demand as has been the cancer of this club for decades. I have no idea if that is the case, however I hope it is.

TW is gone and now you looking for new head to cut off. For god sake cant you ever say anything positive about our Club.
Personally I like the way they have gone about this, the media hasnt made it easy yet the process still look fine. In all honesty it wont realy matter who they pick as the coach, the media and idiots like you will snipe and shoot from afar, under the cover of the internet. To some the decision will be wrong no matter who it is.
The number of times i have read as long as they get "The right person for the Club" or "The best person" is making me sick. Who is the right or best person ?? There is no such thing. A person can bring some Talents to a Club but a football Club is a team effort, the coach is just one part of that team. Let them get on with it, let them look for what ever abilities they think will help the team the most and lets support the Club as a whole. The only thing thats a circus is the media. Offourse those that want the RFC to be a circus will believe it is one and will tell it to the world constantly.

And you can also add in Leigh Matthews who March met with last month who said no also.

King & Longmire never even put their hand up, Longmire wants to go back to his old club (if he wants to even consider leaving Sydney)
Buckley didn't even start our process before accepting a job back at his old club
Can't exactly turn your back on us if they never faced us in the first place

Its typical of him, people with no interest or no hope dont put hand up. What a .........
No Fluffy dont go to his level. :gotigers
-
You cant have it both ways, the guys you mentioned wanted the nod for the job and didnt want to go through the process.
I have no problem with March in the last couple of years as I can see hes trying to put some backbone into the management of the club. The knee jerk decisions have stopped and the leaks are drying up.
Laidley would be a backward step for the club, he just wont have the desire and patience to rebuilt our playing list to be a powerhouse again.

Hold on, King was 4-1 second favorite 5 weeks ago and pulled out.
Buckley has told friends that he had grave doubts about the stablity at Punt Rd.
Longwire wants nothing to do with them thus he turned his back when approached
-
Geez your getting a bit carried away now JJ, King was never an option and he was only ever in the betting for the Caretakers role.
Longmire was never approached by Richmond and to be honest why would we want that sour dopey individual at our club anyway.
Your starting to sound a bit too much like KB now, you wont rest until everyone that was at the club at the time TW told you thanks but no thanks is gone.........
By the way the process is about identifying the best candidate for the job, now if that means some dont go through the exact same channels as others then so be it but lets not get hysterical about the process cause it suits your delusional arguments.

Ummm, no, Cameron was told this week he wasn't getting through to the 2nd round of interviews
-
Wayne Campbell - too inexperienced
Nathan Buckley - in love with Collingwood and didn't want to leave the nest. He didn't want the North job either that was laid out on a platter for him.
Kevin Sheedy - past it even though some people are still in denial to that fact
David King - you called him a dud yourself and wanted him out of Punt Rd with Plough. The bookies had Cambo favourite for the caretaker role and they were wrong
John Longmuire - he wants to coach the club he played for like Buckley
Leigh Matthews - not interested in any coaching gig.
I'm no Laidley fan and would prefer a younger coach who is hungry but talking to him is hardly a hanging offence. A lot of people getting their knickers in a knot for nothing. I don't reckon Laidley deep down will want to go again as senior coach so soon after getting the stuff. More likely he'd be better suited to a different role within a footy department.

I'll be totally honest and say I don't want Laidley but the way the process is flawed is Laidley has not gone through the first stage of our process. He was holidaying overseas, if he was really that interested in coaching us maybe he would have thought twice about his vacation dates. Richmond had the chance to make a stand and show they were serious about showing they were going to be strong and stick to the process of picking a coach, now they are saying Laidley can come straight in at the end. F@#KING TIPICAL!!!
-
I don't think it's unreasonable for Laidley to skip the first stage of the process, just like Rawlings, we have a decent idea already of what they will be like as a senior AFL coach. I certainly hope he's only skipped to the 2nd stage though, if he is fasttracked directly to the final stage in front of the board I'll be pretty peeed off.

Laidley starts to check options
Brent Diamond | August 9, 2009
FORMER North Melbourne coach Dean Laidley plans to speak with Richmond this week to determine whether it wants an untried or experienced coach for its senior position.
Laidley, who is fielding several offers from AFL clubs for assistant or director of coaching roles, has been guaranteed a spot in the Tigers' final round of interviews. He was yesterday adamant that he was ready to coach an AFL club next season after quitting the Kangaroos.
“I've put a hell of a lot of thought into that and I want to coach again, but whether that's at senior level or a different role to what I've spoken to a couple of clubs about. We'll probably take it from there,” Laidley said on SEN radio yesterday.
“With Richmond, do they want to go with an untried coach, do they want to go with a coach that has got some experience? I would have thought that would be more the conversation that we'll have perhaps with the Tiges next week.
“I've got a passion to coach whether that's at senior level or director of coaching, I'm open to that.”
Laidley said he would meet with Tigers general manager of football Craig Cameron this week.
Laidley, who has been overseas on holidays for the past three weeks, also said he was interested in a development role with the AFL's 18th team, west Sydney.
“I've only been back for 48 to 72 hours, but on my list on Monday is to see Andrew [Demetriou] and Adrian [Anderson] and Dave Matthews and see the lie of the land and see what's going to happen up there,” Laidley said.
“Going back to start off at West Coast . . . I know how hard it is to start . . . a football club from a clean slate. My experiences are in the area and I know how difficult it is.”

-
I'm in the minority, but i'd like Laidley.
He ain't good with the media, but we've tried that and it failed.
I want a hard nosed coach, this guy is hard nosed and I wouldn't be disappointed if he was selected.

Former North Melbourne coach Dean Laidley will decide by the weekend whether to formally apply for the vacant Richmond coaching position.
Richmond has begun the second stage of its interview process after narrowing its field of prospective coaches to four -- Damien Hardwick, Ken Hinkley, Jade Rawlings and Alan Richardson.
But should Laidley apply, he will have to undergo a full first-stage presentation to the Richmond sub-committee coaching panel.

Robbo said Laidley will meet with Richmond either today (Saturday) or tomorrow to see if we're interested in an experienced senior coach or if we'll tell him we prefer going with a younger coach.
