March coming up on SEN shortly.

Very interesting thing March just said when asked whether we would be swayed by North
"We are at the pointy end of our process, we have a fair idea where our thinking is going"
Very interesting with two yet to have 2nd round interviews.
Also ruled Laidley out.

Summary
* Joel? Never easy when a legend of the club nears the end. Joel's handled this week as good as anyone. A top person on and off field and hopefully not lost to footy as a result.
* Live with the fact Hardwick may turn his back on us if it happened. Near the end of the process and we've got an idea on which way we're going but we won't be dictated by anyone else.
* Cameron has kept all 4 candidates informed throughout the process.
* Probably in 10 days we'll make a final decision.
* Laidley has spoken to Cameron. Not sure if he's in or out as Gary hasn't spoken to Craig. Pretty confident Dean isn't part of our future moving forward.
* Not easy to coordinate 4 candidates and 10 people on the panel. So it takes time but everyone has been very good about it.
* You do cop pressure (to make a decision) but our members have been very understanding.
* Reckons all 4 candidates can coach. 3 have coached before in their own right and Hardwick has great pedigree.
* Based on where we are at and with the strong parameters we have put up we believe we'll choose a strong coach from these 4 candidates.
* Didn't think he overrated the list at the start of the year unless everyone (media) did. We have underperformed significantly.
* Deficiencies are forward and back. Midfield is our strength but we haven't had everyone out on the park for most of the year (Cuz, Cotch, etc).
* March joins the coaching process in the final stage.
* Final 2 candidates will have to present before the Board but the main guide will be the recommendation of the coaching subcommittee.
* Dermie said Tiger supporters are unique with their passion and they want to see the game play a certain way. Will we recruit that type of player that embodies that spirit of Richmond?
March said that comes with a more defensive and accountable mindset. With that comes those hardnuts. We are still an introverted group. Our extroverts are young (Cotch, Jack). They'll lead the change.
* Timeframe where the club will be in 3-4 years?
Didn't give answer other than to say not all our younger players are pups. Lids has played 100 games. You expect him to step up. Mentioned 13 hardball gets he got as an example of a more harder mindset. Foley we've missed badly. Mentioned Vickery and Browne as well as developing hardnuts.
* Richo? Had ops last week. If his body holds up he'll go around again. He was leading our B&F before he was injured.
* Cuz? List management decision but IHO Cuz is still only 80% so there's still massive upside to him.
* How many potential premiership players on our list?
About 12-13. Craig Cameron does that all the time. Gave Collins a big wrap. Post is a ripper and a leader.

Tigers to make coaching call within 10 days: March
Andrea Petrie | August 16, 2009
RICHMOND will appoint a senior coach within the next 10 days, according to Tigers president Gary March.
Former North Melbourne coach Dean Laidley, who spoke with the Tigers last week, is unlikely to have any role at the club, but March said the four candidates in the running were all capable of taking the club forward.
Alan Richardson, Damien Hardwick, Ken Hinkley and caretaker coach Jade Rawlings are all in contention, with two to be given a final opportunity to present their ideas to the board before the decision was made, March said.
He added that he was pleased with the process so far.
''When you've got 10 people on a panel and you've got four different people and all of them are working at other clubs, it's not easy to co-ordinate to get them all at that time and, sitting through, I've got to say they've been fantastic interviews, but they're long and you can't do them back-to-back,'' March told SEN.
''It's an intense process and I've learned a lot out of it and it's been fascinating.''
March said Laidley had met with football manager Craig Cameron.
''I haven't spoken to Craig about how it went, but I think that was more of a catch-up to see whether he wanted to coach again,'' he said. ''I'm pretty sure that Dean's not part of our situation going forward.''
He said the club had a clear idea of what it needed in a future coach.
''We've got some pretty strong parameters around the type of person that we want and the type of character that we need to bring into the club and I think these four candidates all fit that bill,'' he said.
''We're pretty comfortable that we'll find a very good senior coach out of these four candidates.''
And while North Melbourne is believed to be interested in Hardwick for its senior coaching position, March said the Tigers would not rush their final decision.
''I think we just have to live with the fact that he might turn his back on us [and] that happens,'' he said.
''We've nearly finished our process and we're at the pointy end of it. We've got a fair idea of where our thinking is going, but we'll not be dictated to by another club and their decisions.''

Reading between these lines, Hardwick is in for our job up to his ears.

Daniel, the Rawlings supporters have jumped ship, first to Richardson and now to Hinkley, dont worry man, Hinkley has his own questions he needs to answer, primarily why Geelongs forward line is so average, and the lack of development in Tom Hawkins.

ppl are forgetting, thats clarkos premiership
as a coach, hardwick has not achieved a thing, sure he has been a gopher for others , but he has never been the top dog!

Don't lower your standards Ramps. Hinkley has nothing to do with Geelong's forward line or Tom Hawkins development. He is not their forward line coach or development coach. Not your style to make up fibs to suit your argument.

If it is the case that Hardwick and Richardson are the only ones to have 2nd round interviews then from March's interview I sensed it will be one of those two.

My understanding of Hinkleys role is that he is in charge of there attacking strategy all over the field. Does this not include the forward line? Doesnt it include the attacking development of individual playere ie. Hawkins? Im interested to know, and if my understanding on his role is not that then I wholeheartedly apologise.

They will have forward line, midfield and back line coaches whose role it is to get each of these sub-units playing as a team within a team, understanding each other's styles, strengths, weaknesses etc. They will have at least one development coach whose role will be to develop individual footballers (with most emphasis on the kids for obvious reasons) into the best senior players they can be. Then they have their senior assistant coach who is responsible for developing the offensive/attacking strategies for the team as a whole and pulling all this together from the 3 distinct on-field groups. And finally they have a head coach who is responsible for devising the overall gameplans and co-ordinating all the strategies, (defensive and offensive), moves, groups, individuals etc on game day. It's drawing a long and unfair bow to blame Hinkley for Hawkins lack of development and Geelong's (perceived?) lack of forward line success.
And just for the record, I'm not a 'Hinkley man' - I still haven't wavered from my original Richardson, Hardwick, Hinkley order but having said that, in researching Hinkley's credentials I am starting to sway myself! ;)

Interesting yesterday that March said he felt that we needed the new coach to focus on defensive aspects of our game. Wonder if this hurts Hinkley's chances...

Don't know but I sure as hell know one thing I have learned in playing and watching football all my life - the best method of defence is attack. And attack consists of many defensive attributes such as tackling, shepherding, running to assist a team mate, running at the opposition when they have the ball etc. Get these right and you are well down the path to becoming successful before you even make one solitary change to the playing list.

our defenders cant even win a contest in the goal square 2 against 1 in our favor :rollin
seen it so many times yesterday. :lol
Newman stops & watches the ball bounce over him for a goal when if he was desperate could have saved it ;D

Interesting to know who the Club thinks is our 12-13 potential premiership players?
Cotchin, Deledio, Tambling, Riewoldt, Morton, Jackson?, Vickery, Post, Collins, .... ?
-

Hi Mt.
A few weeks ago our mutual friend :shh took a stuff look at our list, and identified the players she felt were capable of playing in our next flag. "The rest can go", she said. I howled her down at the time as being too overly-critical when she cited only 13 players as being up to standard. It's funny now that CC has come up with the exact same number. :shh really should be working in the football dept, don't you think?

For the second round of interviews - Craig Cameron, Francis Jackson, Tony Free, Greg Stafford and Emmett Dunne. Jeff Bond may be involved still as well.
The third (final) round of interviews are before the whole Board with a recommendation from the above subcommittee.
