Personally can see Hardwick getting the boot at the end of the year. If we miss finals which I think we will, with GC possibly making finals, a loss to GWS and maybe St.Kilda. The talk of Melbourne, Saints, GC, GWS, Bulldogs have all gone past us already will circle and a new regime will be pushed heavily.

Not unless we go 5-17.
We always win a few cheapies at the end of the year to wallpaper over the cracks.

I struggle to see who we will beat other than Carlton, Brisbane and GWS.

We need to act now to save the football club. The list is solid, sack Damian and get a good coach like Bomber Thompson to steer the ship.
I'm certain he will get us into the top 4 sooner rather than later

Pope you reckon we'll beat GWS.
Those 20 goal downhill losses we dished out over the last two years will be repaid in full the way we are heading. Mark my words.

Popelord you've been awfully quiet lately but have a couple of losses and now you're up and about mmmmmm
Oh and stuff Bomber Thompson anyone who voted for him has no clue

I voted for Bomber so I haven't a clue but why has bomber no clue?
-

Yeah of course he doesn't.
Built Geelong into a mutli premiership winning force and took Essendon to the finals despite the drug stuff going on.
Can you imagine if we were Essendon last year? We would have finished 18th with a percentage in the minus.
-
Roos is the man.
He hates us so throw money at him
And when the price is right he'll sign.
Have to do something un Richmond like to induce him.
-
I would like to sincerely thank Dimma for dragging us out of the poop but clearly he isn't the man to take us further and something should be done before the list gets too old or we lose players to better clubs.
Big gamble to relieve a coach only to get another untried coach, so that really limits the options. I like Bomber but I keep hearing he's cooked and lost interest. Having him could make Richmond an attractive option for prospective players though. I can't stand Lyon. He can't win a flag either and look at the state he left Saints and Freo look to end up similar if he fails there too.
To throw names around for no other reason than discussion, what about Ratten? Wasn't bad at Carlton and didn't help he lost Fev. Had them playing fast and down the guts, could his time at Hawthorn taught him anything to bridge the gap? At least we wouldn't need a massive overhaul of the game plan. Then Voss. Ended pretty miserably at Lions, but was that because he was inexperienced? Could he learn anything under Hinkley in a year?
If we can get a coach who is good at getting the most from average players then we wouldn't even need a great list overhaul
-
Voss or Basset. Ling assistant. Hodge for assistant the minute he retires. Other assistant targets should be the likes of O'Keefe, Ball, Sewell & Maxwell. Need a new forwards coach. New fitness staff - scour the world. New medical staff - scour the world. New list managers. Maybe give Mick that bogus "head of coaching" role that Collingwood wanted to give him. The priority should be people with uncomprimising high standards but not uncompomising ideas about the game.
Knights VFL coach. Jake King VFL assistant coach. Look at the AFL players who retire at the end of this year and at least sound out the best of them to give us year or two in the VFL. Delist all the VFL listed players and replace them with proven performers & hungry kids who miss out on the draft.
-
Brett Kirk.
Captain of a premiership side.
Assistant coach to Ross Lyon so he knows what the message is that the players have been getting as well as the structures that Lyon uses.

Who are the trolls that picked hardwick?

You reckon his new age Buddhist philosophies would fire up our Nancy boys? "What is the sound of one arm tackling?"
-
Trolls? The poll is, who coaches us in 2016? As opposed to, who do you want to coach us in 2016? Or who coaches us in 2017?
Seeing that his contract is complete at the end of 2016 season it would seem that Damien is favorite to coach us next season, like it or not.

Like the thinking behind this post. Not sure about a Jake King or Nathan Bassets credentials but and feel we need a senior coach who is uncompromising.

The coach and players are secondary to the main problem which is the RFC as a whole
-
Everyone wants a coach, but we don't like any of the candidates.
Quite the bind we're in.

Literally huh
-
do you blokes really think deep down that lyon or roos will step foot anywhere near punt road.
bomber is finished. Look at eade and malthouse when you have time out of the game.

Didn't Lyon say he wanted to coach a "big 4 Melbourne team"?

Would there be any love for Matty Knights at all?

Other than his 3 goals in the 1995 2nd semi. No.

yeah, id give him a shot

You mean like Terry Wallet?

Ross Lyon did it at teh Saints who were traditionally an even worse basket case than us

Dark horse candidate. We need that bloods culture and he lived and breathed it. But Voss was personified the glory days of the Lions but he couldnt coach.
-
Has to be someone who teaches defensiveness and accountability.
Areas we seriously lack in and teams who posses those traits always seem to beat us with.
After that we can expand but if we aren't accountable first and foremost games like the Dees one on Friday night will eventually creep in due to laziness and we'll be right back where we started.
-

Yes Knights can coach. But can he deal with the Richmond politics? Campbell knifed him

Voss coached a basket case club Doc.
Kirk is a little left of centre. Need someone who'll be merciless on the playing list.
Make Roos like us. Show him the money just like Melbourne did and he slowly changed his tune.
Do something un Richmond like. What are they using our $FTF for. Footy derpartment or footy department stationery ie Hartley's black plastic binders or FJ's flouro yellow and orange highlighters.
-
Doesn't matter just wheel any old bum in
-
Voss can coach, it was just he jumped in without any experience and had to learn on the job.
-
I reckon Chris Scott would be a great fit.
Coached a flag
Been part of a successful club culture
Knows what it takes
Geelong have a track record of letting people go when they decide it's time.
They look like a rebuild list and Chris Scott is a perfect coach to finish off a mid tier side.

The thing that worries me about Chris Scott is that he inherited a gun side who had finished 1st, 2nd, 1st and 3rd so they were ready made when they won the flag in his first year, so when the chips are down with the list as it seems to be now and it requires attention what is his philosophy in getting the side into the contention category again?
It seems to me he or the GFC have hung on to a few players from the flags for a season or so too long. Their real last chance was 2013 and once Hawthorn got the cat off its back in the Prelim the clubs results have steadily declined. Hoping to pinch another flag before the on set of obvious retirements and changing of the guard? Hasn't that been the issue with Dimma? Remaining competitive in the hope we win a final while blokes like Newman play on and others like Grigg, Houli, Pettard, Chaplin etc despite their deficiencies play week in week out?
Thats not to say I have no respect for the flag he coached in 2011 but I just do not think he is the right man for the job to coach us. If we took a coach with previous experience and even though he never won a flag I thought his former assistant from the 2011 flag in Brenton Sanderson would be someone who could get us competitive and challenging very quickly.
-
The Scott Brothers are both massively overrated and if you think Hardwick mollycoddles the players too much then you definitely won't want Sanderson.
-
I actually want Roos Diocletian?
TBH for me its Roos or bust but just like many times in the past, the season we need a coach and the availability of the best possible candidate has not aligned for the RFC.
Freo look top 4 this year at worst and if Ross wins the flag he'll have the key to WA much like Malthouse did in 90's with West Coast.
If we remain stable afraid to make a call to appear mature yet wrongly conservative till Dimma's contract runs out then Roos will be available due to the agreement Roos has with Goodwin.
As I have said open cheque book, make him want to come and get him to the club.
We have to be un Richmond like in doing so otherwise we'll get someone of the ilk of Jade Rawlings to tell us what we want to hear who will then leave acrimoniously with no reputation at all.

Don, I get your point but remember he has taken over an ageing list which has lost the nucleus of their key players from the 2007-2009 era.
Reckon he's done well to keep them going.

I can see both sides of the argument
But for me how Scott goes about re-building the Cats will define his coaching career. And by re-building I mean how far they have to go down and how long it takes for them to come back to being a consistent top 4 side again.
I reckon he has a massive task. Like Don I think Geelong have kept a few veterans a little too long. but I do applaud him for making the tough call on Chapman. There is a lesson right there IMHO
