Jackson, Richardson and Hartley should have been the first gone.I wonder if they are hoping this little bit of needed activity will distract from what the priority axings should be.
-
Why stop there?
Might as well sack Hardwick too.
What is the point of having him infect our new assistants with his 'brand' of footy, which consists of copying styles of footy that don't suit the team or that are way past their use by date, when he will probably get sacked half way through next year anyway.
It could get ugly and leave these fresh assistants exposed. Just sack him now.
-
Also, I hope Ernst and Young have recommended that someone different hires the assistants this time.
And how funny is the line by Caro that Francis Jackson is under pressure? Really, 3 first round picks playing in the reserves, he should have been the first one shown the door.

Richmond Tigers dump five coaches
Caroline Wilson
The Age
29 August 8:00pm
The shake-up at Richmond has begun with five assistant coaches expunged from their regular roles in the club's end-of-season reviews and strongly encouraged to seek opportunities elsewhere.
Port Adelaide premiership coach Mark Williams, Ross Smith, Brendon Lade, former Carlton and Footscray player Mark P. Williams and forwards coach Greg Mellor were not required to report for work at Tigerland on Monday. All five are out of contract.
Although the Tigers have guaranteed the contracted coach Damien Hardwick for at least one more season, the club has reacted savagely to its dismal 2016 season and will move to reshape its recruiting, development and assistant coaching personnel.
Although the final outcomes of the Ernst and Young review into the club's struggling football operation have not been tabled the above assistant coaches have known for some time that they could not be guaranteed contracts beyond the end of the season which for Richmond concluded with a 100-plus point loss to Sydney on Saturday.
Neither chief executive Brendon Gale nor football boss Daniel Richardson could be contacted on Monday as the review entered its final days.
Further dismissals are expected with calls for the club to consider bringing Neil Balme from Collingwood to mentor the less experienced Richardson.
Balme has been demoted by Collingwood and both him and the Magpies list manager Derek Hine have been left disenchanted with the appointment of Graeme Allan to the role of director of football a move the club bosses had denied to them would happen after Allan returned to the Magpies in May.
However Brisbane, searching for an experienced director of football, has shown some interest in Balme and CEO Greg Swann is expected to contact his former Collingwood colleague in the coming days.
Richmond's recruiting manager Francis Jackson is also under pressure.
It remains unclear where the replacements in the coaching department will come from, although one possible new face looms in the recently retired Troy Chaplin. The pending dismissals signal a savage reaction to what has been identified as poor development of players.
Williams, who came to the club from GWS, has headed up the development program at the club.

Only at Tigerland.
Most other footy clubs sack their coach if the side doesn't play well, in our case we sack his assistants and keep the senior coach? Baffling to say the least.
Probably fair enough too, it's most likely their fault that after 7 years we cannot even win 1 final.
Well played RFC.
-
If they were gonna sack jackson and hartley wouldn't it have made sense 12 weeks ago so your new recruiting team has some time to get up to speed. The way Caro puts it the review reckons the problem is in development which may be right. Why isn't C Ellis a gun player by now or at least a regular. We know he can kick well.

The other point is that we are probably looking at getting rid of Vickery, Conca, Edwards, B Ellis and Lennon with talk of Lids and Jack.
I would say that every one of those players has shown enough talent over the journey to be good senior players at any other club.
So we decide to move on all those players and keep the coach that has caused the damage.
This board, its stupid decision and stubbornness in refusing to rectify it is costing us in terms of players and money.
Sack the bloody cause of the problem - the senior coach and the board.

Typical gutless cynical Richmond.
Blame the Indians so as to cover the ars of the Chiefs.

We dont have a director of football (although I thought that was Tony Frees role for a while. ?)
At collingwood, Balme was director of football.
The football manager is someone by the name of Marcus Wagner

Tony Free is the board member "responsible" for footy so is/was called referred to as the Footy Director not Director of Football
Balme doesn't sit on the pies baord just like Free isnt a paid employee of the club.
The equivalent role at the RFC is the GM of Football being Richardson. Bascially head honcho of the footy department
We currently dont have a footy manager as such.

Why is it, that people who have stuffed this club NOW get the chance to stuff it again, with their inept

General Manager of Football Dan Richardson - SACK
General Manager of Player Personnel & List Management Blair "BJ" Hartley - SACK
Head of Coaching & Football Performance Tim Livingstone - SACK
Wonder if we could organise it so Balme would take over Livingstone's job.
Would be a much closer fit to what we want by that job description.
I understand people want to sack Dan but I think his job should be what he's used to - contracts and organisational.
Balme's should be what he's best at and what he's used to - Coaching and performance.
Obviously Balme would have a lot more power and independence (reporting direct to the board) given to him than the current job while Dan's role would be diluted.
It would be similar to the COO and CFO roles.
COO - Chief Operating Officer
CFO - Chief Financial Officer
Livingstone was promoted from Player Development to his current role and you would have to say he's failing badly by that job title.

Hunt isnt any of those things I think we should be after.
And as much as Morris has limitations, I'd play him before Houli, Grigg or Hunt everyday of the week.
And to be totally honest I'd get rid of the lot of them today if possible.
-
Other than Maric, Chaplin and McKenzie all retired who else do we think will be delisted?
All the duds I'd hoped for have contracts. Houli, Grigg, Hunt, Hampson
I'd say Soldo and Marcon should go. Both not AFL standard and never will be IMO.
And maybe Townsend and Moore.
-
Townsend still has a year to run on his contract....Moore should be the first gone but given he was getting games at the end of the season (not to mention the idiotic extensions we've been handing out recently), I have bad feeling we'll be stupid enough to re-sign him...
-

I'd prefer Balme to take over Richardson's job
Richardson to take over from Hartley; more his area

Yep would look at moving him back to development though my gut feel is he might be goneskis too
As for my mate Blair
Bye ;D

But if it isn't a big contract $$ wise you could delist him and use it on a kid

Everyone does nothing but talk the kids up.
Two or three things jump out and hit ya that are not great about this kid but i will leave it for someone else to cop the abuse that will come for mentioning them.
All i will say is there is no guarantee he will become a top line player, i wont go as far to say he wont make it, that call will have to wait a couple of years and we see what he can produce. in a few years we will know for sure if hes good enough or not.
-
Ok I'll bite.
To me he looked slow and didn't get possessions when he first arrived. But looking at his stats this year he has increased his possession count until his injury. Speed can also be illusory and might have been due to inexperience. Sayin all that he hasn't stood out like Martin Cotch or rioli did in their first years or year in rioli s case.

Yer Maric will get a 5 year deal.
We went down the Hampson path for a reason and it's not because he is a decent player- it's because Maric has a fork in him, he is done.

Richmond assistant coaches left in limbo
AFL.com.au
30 August 2016
RICHMOND'S assistant coaches are yet to be told their fates as the club waits on a comprehensive review of its football department to be completed.
As of Monday night, one Tigers assistant AFL.com.au spoke to was still unaware if he would be at the club in 2017.
The assistants, who started their player reviews last week, were not required to continue those duties on Monday as players were off-site for their end-of-season Mad Monday at a Richmond bar.
It was reported on Monday night that five Richmond assistants Brendon Lade, Ross Smith, premiership coach Mark Williams, Greg Mellor and Mark P. Williams had been removed from their roles in end-of-season reviews.
Lade's manager, Craig Kelly of TLA Australia, said it was still possible the midfield stoppages coach would be with the club in 2017.
"The club has offered us a one-year deal and also given us permission to look at the market," Kelly told AFL.com.au.
"There will be a timeframe to look at those options but if not there will be a one-year offer on the table."
While players are expected to learn of their futures by late this week, the Tigers do not have a timeframe to confirm changes to their off-field personnel.
Richmond has been undertaking a wide-ranging review with the help of accounting firm Ernst and Young as it deals with the fallout from an eight-win season that ended with an uncompetitive 113-point loss to the Sydney Swans.
Coach Damien Hardwick had his contract extended until the end of 2018 back in March, but the majority of his assistant coaches were left without guaranteed deals beyond this season.

'Choco' among three Tiger assistants dumped

RICHMOND has dumped three assistant coaches as part of its football department reshape, with premiership coach Mark Williams shown the door.
Williams, who joined the Tigers at the end of 2012 to head up the club's development program, was joined by forwards coach Greg Mellor and defensive coordinator Ross Smith.
All three were out of contract and victims of a wide-ranging review into the club's football department undertaken with the help of accounting firm Ernst and Young.
"We thank all of these coaches for their commitment to the club, its players and our football program, and we wish all of them and their families the very best for their future endeavours," football manager Dan Richardson said.
Former Carlton and Footscray player Mark P. Williams survived the initial cull, while assistant coach Brendon Lade is understood to have a one-year offer to stay.
"The club has offered us a one-year deal and also given us permission to look at the market," Lade's manager Craig Kelly told AFL.com.au this week.
Also remaining as part of the Tigers' senior panel is highly-rated assistant Ben Rutten, who they are keen to retain.
Development coaches Andrew McQualter, Ryan Ferguson remain with the club, while retired defender Troy Chaplin has been transitioning into coaching since his last game in round 16.

Taking off rose coloured 'hate Hardwick' glasses for a second.
It there any possible chance that any sporting organisation sack the lot of their middle management 'assistant coaches' and not the head coach and be successful the next year.
We have next to know chance to implement a new game plan under a new regime that is lead by the old boss. Hardwick will be sacked by August next year. Making next year as pointless as Essendons year this year. Just effing sack him, bring in Ratten or Thompson or Roos and let them build THEIR assistants around them.

Head of development says it all I'm afraid. Did well with Martin but couldn't develop others with his old style teaching.

'It was a bit awkward': Mark Williams surprised by Tigers sacking
afl.com.au
September 16, 2016
FORMER Richmond assistant coach Mark Williams is surprised he wasn't offered a contract by the club for the 2017 season.
Williams was one of three support staff let go by the Tigers at the end of the season, ending a four-year tenure as head development coach.
"That was their decision, it was a bit tough," he told SEN radio on Friday morning.
"Based on my role and what I had done, I thought that I had done a pretty good job. And they all said that."
The 2004 premiership-winning Port Adelaide coach was told his contract would not be renewed during a telephone conversation with the Tigers' football manager while he was interstate for a funeral.
"It was a bit awkward," he said.
"I had a previous meeting where it was indicated I might have to take a pay cut and maybe a change of role. But it didn't eventuate that way."
Williams says he has spoken to several AFL clubs, but was struggling to lock in a position for next season with a cap on football department spending.

Never got a contract because of conflict ;D

I have no problem with him being given the arse, but over the phone!! He deserved better than that. This club is just poo at the moment! It's been the worst year all round that I can remember. One poo call after another.
