As the title says. Doesn't know who but commentator says it's on the money. Of course the name Sheedy was first in their minds.

Nathan Buckley

That is my guess also. They hinted the 'big name' was a recent player which made me think of Hird, Roo and Bucks straight away.

They also said we will get Warnock too without a doubt.

Hope their mail is correct

Sheeds coming back to Punt Rd would be big news but not something that would "rock the football world" IMO.

It said off-field so did that mean still within the footy dept like a new assistant coach such as a Buckley (that'd make Eddie cry) or even a new footy manager, or did it mean someone to come in and onto the board to eventually succeed March as president as our very own Roman Abramovich lol. A new high profile CEO would also be major news but why make a change there when Steven Wright is doing a great job.

I'd love to see Balmey back at the club. One of my favourite players as a youngster.

Can't see where he'd fit though. I don't think we have a position that would interest him, unless GM is going to give up his football department position too. Maybe GM back on the board, Balme to lead the football department.

Nah, that ain't going to happen.

relax MT ;D Richmond will forever have sponsors, its a advertising market & companies crawl over each other to get on a sporting jumper. The clubs always holds off to the very last moment to get the best deal from many offers.
As bigger companies move into the Australian market buying us out cause we already owned by Japan, UK, USA, & the companies will popup everywhere cause Australian Rules is our biggest sport & growing.
This is why the AFL are pushing so hard for more teams because they know its a huge money earner & all these overseas companies will advertise so we the Australian will buy thier products & gain work with them
The intake of new Australians making the population grow will push the market even more, we will start looking like Japan/China in the next 10 years,  our clubs will be wearing sponsor names like ASUS, GIGABYTE, NVIDIA, AMD/ATI, CANON, LEXMARK, FUJIFILM, LOGITECH just to name a couple  ;D
This country will be so dependant on electronic in 10 years thats all you will see nothing but Electronic sponsors, it will look like my buisness front  ;D will be the sons by then  :thumbsup

Anyway on SEN just after the 10.00am news today, KB & Matty Thompson were discussing Tom "Goose"age and his rumour. Matty Thompson said he asked Gooseage about it on the weekend and the Goose man stands by it.

Well KB was going to ask Sheeds this morning about being offered a position but his phone wouldn't work. That'll get the conspracists talking  :whistle lol.

As for Goose-age - so it's a massive positive off-field appointment but the club doesn't even know about it. Yep good one  ::).

If Tim Gossage broke this story, it wont have any credibility , unless Peter Sumich is involved.
As it is common knowledge the only friend in the world he has is Peter,, so there could be the answer,
Can safely say that none of the media outlets have any idea about this, usually there is a leak or a sighting of someone having a coffee with someone that they shouldnt be having a coffee with :lol, but not in this instantance

Agree with Ox. Sumich is hardly a big name. Only Worsfold getting the sack at the Eagles and then joining the Richmond coaching staff would be big news. I can't see that happening as Worsfold and the Eagles want to finish down the bottom to get their hands on Rich.

Robbo said Sheedy can't run a footy department. He's a coach. He certainly won't be at Richmond as footy manager.

Listening to Robbo is like listening to some guy in a pub who knows exactly as much as you do. Gossage clearly said that the news was about an addition to the club, not a simple sacking. SEN are spinning it as if what Gossage has been saying has come to fruition when it clearly hasn't.

Robbo became very blustering when discussing Miller and among many thing he got wrong was demanding that the club lists the skills that Miller was lacking - as if any organisation would dump on somebody like that. He also ignored the bleeding obvious that if Miller wasn't up to the job he couldn't be replaced while he was on the board.

Putting him on the board was the fault of the members who voted for him.

The only thing RFC got wrong was some hero leaking the information - they have every right to make the decision now.

They had no right to do it now. The footy team comes first before everything else and for our own president to create off-field drama just when the team has a chance to make the finals and is on a winning streak is sheer stupidity and incompetence. It's a disgrace :banghead. Miller left the board 2 months ago so they had their chance then to sack him midseason when the team had just 3.5 wins after round 12 if it was only his board position stopping them. Nah they pick a board meeting after the team had just won 4 games from 5 and with a crucial game against Brisbane coming up to do it. Seriously how moronic can you get! Were March and co. still that naive that something like this wouldn't leak after seeing what happened to Sheedy last year at Essendon. I agree with Robbo on this instance - we are once again a laughing stock.

a bit sensitive there mt

just would like to know why do u say they has NO RIGHT TO DO IT NOW.  Just a little curious as to why and how you know more than march and the board when the right time is.

march is correct about what he did, and who cares if it leaked, we are talking about miller here. he is a nobody . he is not a fav son of ours, he is not a dyer, bartlett, hart, .... for christs sake, its just miller. when we sack players like gaspar, chubba, etc , less noise is made byut the medis and idiot supporters who think they know it all.

we all knew that wallce and miller had a argy bargy after the geelong thumping last year. march from what i am aware of , took wallaces side and way back then basically told miller to pull his head in and lift his game. this has not happened over night, as march said, its been on the cards for ages.

we dont and will never really know how much miller was screwing up. maybe he was chasing players and willing to trade for these players that the club were not in fav of, we will never know, but he has interests in other nth melb, and has a finger in their pie and ours.

i cant believe the amount of love and respect some supporters have for miller because they believed his bs and spin.  and how many time shas miller offended us supporters in the media in the past with his spin

thank god he is gone

so if you can they had no right to sack him now

i then can say THEY HAD EVERY RIGHT TO SACK HIM NOW!

Question - what is the most important thing happening at Richmond right now?

One would hope that it is challenging for a place in the 8, which whether people want to face it or not is where the RFC finds itself. On Saturday night our only focus should have been the game and our finals chances, it should still be our only focus but it isn't.

As I said this "decision" whether it is right or wrong is not the issue to me it is the botched way has been handled took that focus away from the biggest game of our season so far and that's wrong.

We witnessed a great win on Saturday and are people talking about it?

Nope they are talking about something that could have waited until the end of the season, or at least if it was handled in a more decent manner should have not hit the press until after the season...

march is correct about what he did, and who cares if it leaked, we are talking about miller here. he is a nobody . he is not a fav son of ours, he is not a dyer, bartlett, hart, .... for christs sake, its just miller. when we sack players like gaspar, chubba, etc , less noise is made byut the medis and idiot supporters who think they know it all.


We should care it was leaked .... it's digraceful. Forget the personalities involved, there are right and wrong ways of doing things and conduct yourself through the media via "leaks" aint the way to run a business

Quote

we all knew that wallce and miller had a argy bargy after the geelong thumping last year. march from what i am aware of , took wallaces side and way back then basically told miller to pull his head in and lift his game. this has not happened over night, as march said, its been on the cards for ages.

 ::) ::)

"We all knew" did we... who told you that? Another rumour that was just that a rumour...

just would like to know why do u say they has NO RIGHT TO DO IT NOW.  Just a little curious as to why and how you know more than march and the board when the right time is.

Question - what is the most important thing happening at Richmond right now?


Sorry W-Pee but the most important thing is setting us for the next flag.

A close second is ensuring the club stays in business so my grandchildren (yet to come) can follow the tradition of being mad passionate supporters of one of the greatest football clubs in the world.

Yeah and making the finals and giving our kids a taste of finals footy would certainly be a great stepping stone for that next flag

Although Caro on Saturday said Gossage was talking crap, Robbo on SEN is saying Gossage obviously knew and he was right when he said the person didn't know it was coming. He also said this might be unfair but he knows March is good friends with Gossage.

Robbo said Sheedy can't run a footy department. He's a coach. He certainly won't be at Richmond as footy manager.

Listening to Robbo is like listening to some guy in a pub who knows exactly as much as you do. Gossage clearly said that the news was about an addition to the club, not a simple sacking. SEN are spinning it as if what Gossage has been saying has come to fruition when it clearly hasn't.

Robbo became very blustering when discussing Miller and among many thing he got wrong was demanding that the club lists the skills that Miller was lacking - as if any organisation would dump on somebody like that. He also ignored the bleeding obvious that if Miller wasn't up to the job he couldn't be replaced while he was on the board.

Putting him on the board was the fault of the members who voted for him.

The only thing RFC got wrong was some hero leaking the information - they have every right to make the decision now.
They had no right to do it now. The footy team comes first before everything else and for our own president to create off-field drama just when the team has a chance to make the finals and is on a winning streak is sheer stupidity and incompetence. It's a disgrace :banghead. Miller left the board 2 months ago so they had their chance then to sack him midseason when the team had just 3.5 wins after round 12 if it was only his board position stopping them. Nah they pick a board meeting after the team had just won 4 games from 5 and with a crucial game against Brisbane coming up to do it. Seriously how moronic can you get! Were March and co. still that naive that something like this wouldn't leak after seeing what happened to Sheedy last year at Essendon. I agree with Robbo on this instance - we are once again a laughing stock. 

Dont know why your upset MT, been telling you for ages what a laughing stock we are.
He had to get the chop . Lucky we have been winning, as someone else was out he door as well ;)

As I said before Jack I don't have a problem with the actual decision as it's been on the cards since Miller stepped down/pushed off the board. I wouldn't have a problem if we brought in a new assistant coach or two. Nothing's wrong with change if it's done properly and it improves the team. It's the timing of the decision which makes us a laughing stock. March and the board putting themselves before the team. For March's sake thankfully the team still won on Saturday night.

Wallace was always going to coach in 2009. It's no luck we are winning either. No one we've played in the past 6 weeks was better (class-wise) than us. Had our chances to beat Carlton if we/Browny had kicked straight in the first half but bad kicking is bad footy. Joel showed on the weekend nailing those gettable goals  :thumbsup makes all the difference when two sides are fairly even. A massive step up in class this week though even with Geelong's outs.

They were only at Richmond together in 96. That year Freezer played just one game. His comeback from the knee failed  :(.

Only a massive name like a Hird or Buckley as y&b said would rock the footy world. Voss would've been as well huge news if he hadn't already decided on the Eagles over the Gold Coast.

Well Gossage was right about one thing - a story involving Richmond did "rock the football world" and those involved were unaware it was going to happen when he said it mid-year lol.

Balmey signing a new 2-year deal with Geelong mid-year ended any chance of him coming back to Tigerland.
