Shall we start with the Ruck Division after-all that is where the game starts:
Coach; Damien Monkhurst.
What if any is the improvement in this area of the game this year.
Simonds: ?
Patterson: ?
Graham: ?
Brown: - Now there is something to get our teeth into! Started the season playing the first game against Carlton, then back to Coburg from there to Coburg Seconds and has languished bn the fringe for the rest of the year "why is it so"?
Putt: Origonally taken because of his height advantage- been in the system for 2 years now and still getting limited opportunity at Coburg " why is it so"?
While it is accepted that the buck stops with the Senior Coach, how well are the staff performing?
What are your thoughts?
-
a complete clean is a complete clean. the lot of em.
goodbye Monkhurst.
How have our rucks gone lately??
we have gone backwards in his his time at the club and we cant be seen as a charirty case for his type looking to earn a few extra $$. he is terrible and a product of Wallace. goodbye!!
carey as our forward coach is a good start :thumbsup we should thrown everything to get him to the club.
when he speaks people will listen.
-
One of the biggest stereotypical dinosaur ruckmen of all time coaching our kids when dinosaur ruckmen are extinct
Get rid of him
-
perhaps we can get Benny Gale out there during his lunch break ;D
Seriously though, I'd have a look at the list of recently retired ruckman, in particluar those who rucked under the 2 centre circle rule and take someone with that sort of knowledge and experience
Gus Graham for me has been a major disappointment this season, especially the 2nd half of the year. He spends too much time running in looking at his opponent as opposed to actually watching the ball and BTW I reckon he never actually jumps at the centre ball ups :banghead :banghead
-
When a new coach is put in place do they bring a group of people with them?
i understand that is how voss was put in place with a select group all part of the deal. I cant imagine they would bring forwards, ruck coaches etc.. though.
The big monkey was good in the time off a "tap, then watch" ruckmen but they have to be much more versatile these days.
Cousins should be employed as midfield coach if he doesn’t get a gig next year(surely he will though), i reckon the club will benefit if we give him more responsibility and control.
Laidley would be good in a tactical/opposition analysis role

Who Hardwick brings with him will be extremely interesting. I hope he doesn't keep the majority of our current coaches but Rawlings and McCrae could be retained unless their roles over the last few months make the their positions untenable.
Have to agree about our rucks. Very disappointing.
Regardless of who HArdwick chooses we need more money and personal invested into development.
Stripes
-
King (defence) - gone
Royal (forwards) - gone
Campbell (midfield) - staying
Rawlings (Coburg) - going?
McRae (development) - staying?
Johnson (development) - staying?
Monkhurst (rucking) - ?
Don't know who he'll have in mind as assistants but he'll probably want people whose footy philosophy is similar to his and what he has experienced in footy. Does he go with newbies just retired from footy who he played with (Lucas as a forward coach?) or do we poach an experienced Silvagni from St Kilda for the backline?
Hawks backline has been their weakness even with Croad, Gilham and co. playing hence the cluster gameplan. They needed Hodge to go back as their quarterback to sure the backline up last year. This year it's been exposed due to their injuries. At Port in 2004 they had a very good albeit aging defence - Keys Wakelin and the mobile Chad Cornes, Bishop as 3rd tall rebounder, Wilson, Kingsley plus Pickett running, rebounding and kicking long when not shirtfronting opponents. At Essendon they had Fletcher and Wellman with hardnuts Hardwick, Solomon and Mark Johnson.
As for the forwards all three clubs Hardwick was at relied to two big key forwards with quick nifty highly skilled smalls with excellent goal sense at their feet. Keys Lloyd and Lucas, Tredrea and Thurstans/(Lade resting), Franklin and Roughead.
Interesting to see if Hardwick seeks any help or coaching mentoring from Sheedy now they are both at Tigerland.
-
Poaching Silvagni would be a sensational coup.
-
Ch 10 news said King, Royal and Rawlings have said they are going.
Hardwick told SEN that he has spoken to Cambo today and thinks he is very good.
Ch 10 news also said that Brendon Lade, a former teammate of Hardwick's at Port, may be a possible assistant at Punt Rd.
-
........
Ch 10 news also said that Brendon Lade, a former teammate of Hardwick's at Port, may be a possible assistant at Punt Rd.
Would be a quantum improvement on Monkhurst in teaching Vickery, Graham et al.

IMO that would be a good path to follow - he could teach the forwards to kick accuratly as well :thumbsup
-
If Essendon forces Lloyd into retirement then there's someone who kicked accurately for goal. Mind you could we stand Jack and co. throwing grass up in the the air everytime they have a shot lol.
-
I'd never want Matty Lloyd at Punt Road
The guy has an IQ smaller than the length of his pinky toe
Not to mention his comments about Richmond in the media (ie the Zantuck recruitment comments)

put together 3 or 4 good games and has done nothing since, still persevere though, riuckman can take ages to come on, Ive seen enough that we may be able to extract more

If he can play out a season like he did for those 3-4 games then we'd have a handy ruckman who would at least be worth keeping for depth. As a 22 year old off the rookie list, there's still a chance he can do that over the next 2 years. Would want to step it up again in 2010 though.
-
Wouldn't mind Carey in as assistant or forward coach, could show Jack a few things.

From the Age, Australian and Herald-Sun today...
Hardwick will be given permission to bring in several hand-picked assistant coaches, and already has ideas about who he might bring on board, including retiring Port ruckman Brendon Lade.
Current assistant Wayne Campbell, who discussed his future with Hardwick yesterday, has two years on his contract and wants to stay.
Jade Rawlings is also contracted, while David King and Brian Royal are expected to explore options elsewhere.
http://www.news.com.au/heraldsun/sport/afl/story/0,26576,25986783-19742,00.html
While Hardwick remained coy yesterday as to his prospective new assistants, Wayne Campbell looks certain to remain, while Craig McRae, the Tigers' development coach who replaced Rawlings at Coburg mid-season, is contracted for another year.
Richmond assistants David King and Brian Royal look certain to depart Tigerland following round 22, with caretaker Jade Rawlings still uncertain of his future.
http://www.theage.com.au/news/rfnews/coaching-merrygoround-spins-on/2009/08/26/1251001942736.html
Hardwick will also need to formulate a coaching team, with Richmond assistants Brian Royal and David King already signalling they will leave Punt Road.
Retiring Port Adelaide star Brendon Lade, a premiership teammate of Hardwick's, shapes as a possible candidate. Lade, who will play his last game alongside another retiree, Peter Burgoyne, against North Melbourne on Sunday, said yesterday he was keen to gain experience away from Alberton Oval.

Nothing to do with us, but Voss is clearing out all his assistants.
Maybe he had to use them because they were contracted as well??
Hardwick may put up with McRae and Campbell for a year and then move them on.

Jeff White is doing a good job coaching up here in QLD
-
Lade would be great as a ruck coach.
What I like about the Hardwick appointment is that Damien has been involved in 3 premierships at 3 clubs and therefore has played and worked with in environments that are driven and success oriented. Therefore he will hopefully be able to recruit a good calibre of individuals who have been successful and will work in a collective and effective way. Damien is universally seen as a respected assistant coach in the footy community and hopefully that impeccable reputation will be enough to attract some real good assistants who can ply their trade and significantly improve the list behind the scenes.
None of this Walla$$ King and Royal B/S we have put up with for far too long.
-
Hardwick has ties at Essendon, Hawthorn, and Port:
Ess: Wallace (Defence), Hird (Midfield)
Port: Lade (Ruck)
Haw: Crawford Midfield (Rich Supporter), Dew (Midfield/Forward)
Be happy with any of those

Whats amazing is this, posters/media saying Dean Wallis.
Poor Dean cant put 2 sentences together and people want him to coach Coburg ::) :banghead.
Important ingredient to being a good coach is to be a execptional communicator.
Lets why such good footballers like Hart , Schimma and Watson were extremely poor coaches.
-
The media couldn't find out who the senior coach was so I wouldn't trust their info guessing who the assistants will be. Who knows Jade may stay after all and return to coach Coburg.

That's how it should be.
Unlike the Mole that was there till the Bulldogs game in round 11 who leaked everything to his media mates to ensure he had a job to go too post RFC. Can anyone remember May 19 this year?

Just wondering as he has worked at Melbourne, Hawthorn last year and with Neil Craig at Adelaide this year so he would have alot to offer at our club I feel.

He’ll be there. He has been at the club on a voluntary basis for over 15 years.

He apparently wants to join Geelong as an assistant coach but any interest in Garry Hocking at Punt Rd?
Currently coach of TAC Cup minor premiers Geelong Falcons who went through the H/A season 17-1.

Would definitely consider him, clearly has a good ability to develop kids
-
Just reported on Ch 7 news that Richmond are about to announce Brendan Lade as an assistant coach
Good news - final a decent ruck coach - although I think he will obviously do more than that :thumbsup
-
Announced tonight on both Seven and Nine news.
-
Oops Mr One-Eyed I just posted it on another thread
-
I've merged both threads :thumbsup.
Nine news said Lade has joined Hardwick at Richmond as an assistant coach. So yeah WP you'd presume from that Lade will be more than just a ruck coach.
-
This was from 2 weeks ago in the Adelaide Addy. A strong recommendation from Tredrea about Lade as far as a becoming a coach.....
Warren Tredrea's glowing praise
Andrew Capel | September 01, 2009
WARREN Tredrea has rated Brendon Lade as the greatest coaching prospect he has seen in his 13 years at the Power.
In a glowing endorsement of the retired ruck star, Tredrea forecast Lade would not only make a good assistant coach but a successful senior coach.
"He is the most ready-made coach I've seen come out of this place. He's going to be a great coach," the Power's premiership skipper said.
"Obviously, he'll start as an assistant somewhere but it wouldn't surprise me that if he's a senior coach of an AFL club within three to five years."
Tredrea's comments are telling, given new Richmond coach Damien Hardwick played at Port Adelaide, along with Carlton assistant Brett Montgomery, Melbourne assistant Josh Mahoney and current Power assistants Matthew Primus and Adam Kingsley.
Tredrea - the last remaining player from the Power's inaugural list in 1997 - said Lade's football knowledge and communication skills were "second to none".
"He's super-smart when it comes to football," Tredrea said.
"As a player he was a great coach - on and off the field - and he's effectively acted as an extra coach and right-hand man to (midfield coaches) Tony McGuinness and Primus for the past three years.
"He knows where blokes should stand, he understands our game plan inside-out and he's a selfless person who knows how important it is to put the team first.
"He's one of the best tap ruckmen there's been but he didn't survive 13 years in the AFL because of his athleticism - it was because of his unique ability to read the game so well."
Lade - who retired after Saturday's heartbreaking, four-point loss to North Melbourne after 234 games, 182 goals, a club champion title and two All-Australian representations - has made no secret of his intention to coach.
Adelaide and Richmond already have sounded him out about a role next year and Tredrea said the Power should do its best to keep him.
"He'd be such a valuable right-hand man, so hopefully we can keep him," Tredrea said.
"I'd love him to stay here but that's not my decision, it's up to the club and there has to be a vacancy too."

-
Out of interest, does anyone know off the top of their head the last ruckman to be a senior coach??
It's probably obvious, but I can't think of any.
-
Swamp Fox?
-
I would go with Neil Balme coached Mlebourne for 98 games in the 90s.
-
Percy Jones?? :rollin
-
Len Thompson was coach of Preston
-
Ron Barassi caused the term "Ruck-Rover" to be invented.
-
from today's Australian...
.... new Richmond coach Damien Hardwick is moving quickly to assemble his team of assistants, with recently retired Port Adelaide ruckman Brendon Lade to join his staff and former North Melbourne captain Adam Simpson considering an offer to be midfield coach.
Hardwick and Lade were teammates at Port and have remained close. Hawthorn, where Hardwick worked as an assistant until winning the Richmond job, was also interested in the 2004 premiership ruckman as an assistant coach.
Simpson, like Lade a recent retiree after a decorated career, has been offered a position but is yet to accept.
Four of the Richmond assistants to former coach Terry Wallace have departed, including Jade Rawlings who took over from Wallace when he was sacked mid-season. Rawlings and Craig McRae have joined Michael Voss at Brisbane, with Brian Royal and David King also making way. Wayne Campbell is the only member of Wallace's coaching staff to survive.

Nope, that's not it TA. I replied to the thread above with names of ruckmen who have been senior coaches for many clubs recently and WP then replied to my post questioning Graham Cornes. I also replied to that post. They were following the Balme/Jones posts above.

Lade joins Tiger coaching ranks
Recently-retired Port Adelaide ruckman Brendon Lade has been appointed an assistant coach at Richmond.
Lade, a former team-mate of new Richmond senior coach Damien Hardwick at Port Adelaide, enjoyed a stellar 234-game career with the Power after making his debut in 1997. He was a member of Port’s inaugural AFL premiership side in 2004, won the club’s Best and Fairest in 2006, and was a dual All-Australian representative.
The 33-year-old played all 22 games for Port this season before announcing his retirement.
He will take up a role with the Tigers as a ruck/midfield coach.
“I’m really excited by the opportunity to join the Richmond Football Club,” Lade said.
“Hopefully, in the next few years, I can assist the Tigers in getting back to being a really good team in the AFL.
“One of the attractions of coming to Richmond is that there’s going to be a whole new game plan for the team.
“It’s going to take a while for the players to develop that new game plan, but in a couple of years’ time they should be reaping the rewards.”
Lade was a team-mate of Hardwick’s at Port Adelaide from 2002-04, with both playing in the Power’s 2004 premiership team.
“I’m really looking forward to working with Damien . . . I think we’ll work well together.We were good mates on the field, and we’ve kept in touch over the years,” Lade said. “Hopefully, everyone in the coaching group can be on the same page and heading in the right direction.”
Hardwick described Lade’s appointment as an important acquisition for the Club.
“We’re very pleased to have someone of Brendon’s experience and standing in the game join Richmond as an assistant coach,” he said. “He brings with him many of the important attributes we’re looking for. He has a strong character and excellent leadership skills.”

Is Kane Johnson staying on as a developmental coach?

Did Blake Carracella ever play with Hardwick?
Being at Collingwood as an Assistant he's 4th man back until 2015 woudl think he'd be happy to move out and try somewhere else like Tigerland with a former team mate.

Yep they played together at Essendon in their 2000 Premiership.
-

Who cares - he doesn't want to be a Richmond, then we don't want them at Richmond
On another note I have a question
If Lade is on board as a Ruck/midfield coach and Campbell is supposed to be midfield coach does that mean we have two midfield coaches or is Campbell taking over the forwards or something else?

ONE HD had the 2004 GF on earlier tonight. The game had almost our new coaching staff playing - Hardwick, Lade and Leppitsch. It'd be our perfect dream for them to have the Tiges in a few years time playing such tough, physical and skillful footy :pray. Geez Hardwick knew how to suck an opponent in to retaliate and con the ump into giving him a free kick.
-
Does anyone think Hardwick might give his old teammate Lloydy a call now he's retired and talk about an assistant coaching role with our forwards at Punt Rd?

If trawling for free kicks is on the coaching agenda then why not!!
-
That we need a good forward coach is undoubted.
Our forward line plays without structure and without purpose. The number of times we go into the forward 50 out wide and into the pockets would have me pulling my hair out if I had any left.
Even when 'Cho is playing he leads to the wrong places or right in the spots that others are already leading to.
Seems to me that Rawlings picked that one up when he asked the Kid to come and help out, but I didn't see any major difference, although I was only watching on the TV.
I'd really get exercised when we had a set play from outside 50 and there would be little or no movement from any of the forwards, or they'd all try to run to the one place at the same time.
Dunno that Lloyd is the right choice, but please, let us get someone who knows what they are doing.
-

I was impressed with his press conference.
Hardwick would have an idea whether he is a good teacher.
If he is, I reckon Hardwick could be in touch.

Would also be a bit ironic - Knights and Prescott at Essendon, Hardwick and Lloyd at Richmond!

If we end up with Butcher, he wouldnt be a bad bloke to have around. I never liked Lloyd but his kicking was pretty damn good.

Interesting that you say that, Lloyd and Richo have recieved 244 free kicks each over their repective careers, according to footywire! Richo has given 1 more free kick away though...

More importantly, does he have the hunger to coach if he's lost the hunger to play?

Becomes a mute point becasue he said at his press conference he wasn't interested in getting into coaching was looking at the media.
On Ch10 news when they interviewed him outside his home ( :wallywink I suppose he is contracted to Ch10) he again said to NO to assistants role.

Have all our assistant coaching positions been filled?
Lade - ruck/forward?

My North Melb mate complains that Laidley and the coaches there never developed there kids properly. He sites Daniel Wells as his prime example...a kid whose potential hasnt fully come through....
IMHO, development coaches are the key....

Tigers' development boost
Richmond has appointed David Newett as a player development coach and senior coach of its VFL affiliate Coburg.
Newett was a development coach at North Melbourne for the past two seasons, following a distinguished playing and coaching career, predominantly in Tasmania.
In 2005, Newett won the William Leitch Medal for the best player in Tasmania’s State League, while playing with Glenorchy.
Then, as playing coach of Glenorchy, he guided the team to runner-up in 2006 and the premiership in 2007.
While attending university in Adelaide in 2003, where he gained a human movement degree, Newett won the SANFL’s reserve-grade Magarey Medal, playing for the Woodville-West Torrens Eagles.
Newett also held a key role with the Tasmanian Institute of Sport for several years, as an Athlete Career and Education consultant.
Former Hawthorn player Tim Clarke will be Richmond’s other development coach in 2010.
Clarke, 27, played 96 games and kicked 39 goals for the Hawks in a career spanning eight seasons (2001-08), highlighted by three top-10 finishes in the club’s Best and Fairest award (2004-06).
In 2009, Clarke joined Coburg as a player and midfield coach, making an instant impact with his professionalism and leadership qualities.
Clarke, who has been completing an MBA at Monash University, is the son of former Geelong star, David Clarke.
Richmond’s player development manager in 2009, Tim Livingstone, will head up the Tigers’ bolstered development program next year.
Livingstone, 42, played eight senior games for Richmond in 1992-93 and is highly regarded by the Tigers for his work in the development area.

Tim Clarke is also a very good get for the RFC - he was excellent at Coburg in 2009. Fantastic leader
Harwick would know a fair bit about Clark too as Clark would played under Dimma at the Dawks :cheers

from today's Age...
North Melbourne is the frontrunner to sign Geelong Falcons coach Garry Hocking as an assistant coach for next season.
Kangaroos football manager Donald McDonald met with Hocking last week and the Kangaroos are believed to be keen to add the former Geelong midfielder to their coaching panel under new coach Brad Scott.
Richmond, Geelong and Port Adelaide have also shown interest.

Richmond appoints forward coach
richmondfc.com.au
5:11 PM Tue 20 October, 2009
Richmond has appointed Daniel Daly as its forward coach for the 2010 season.
Daly had spent the past six years at North Melbourne working in a variety of full-time roles, including player welfare and development manager, forward scout and opposition coach.
Although Daly didn’t follow the traditional path to coaching at the elite level, not having played AFL football, he is held in very high regard throughout the competition due to his comprehensive knowledge of players’ strengths and weaknesses.
When Port Adelaide premiership coach Mark Williams was appointed coach of the “Dream Team’ for the Hall of Fame tribute match against Victoria in 2008, he tapped into Daly’s fountain of football knowledge, employing him as an assistant.
Daly, a former bank manager, played football with Balwyn in the Southern Football League, but his career finished prematurely after he underwent knee and shoulder reconstructions.
He then became an assistant coach at Balwyn, before landing a part-time job as a forward scout for Collingwood.
Such was the impression he made at Collingwood, when Dean Laidley, who’d been a Magpie assistant coach, took over as North Melbourne’s senior coach, he asked Daly to join him in a full-time role with the Roos.
Daly is the final addition to the Richmond coaching staff for the 2010 season, after the appointments of Damien Hardwick (senior coach), Justin Leppitsch (backline), Brendon Lade (ruck/midfield), David Newett (Coburg, development) and Tim Clarke (development) in the off season.

Interesting final appointment
-
Certainly a hotchpotch of experience but not too many jobs for the boys among that lot.
Hopefully the football department has what it takes.

Here's a pic of Daly from the AFL site

Welcome to the club Daly.. :thumbsup

An Age article from April on non-AFL footballers in AFL coaching ranks - Daly, Brendan McArtney (Geelong), Danny Ryan (St Kilda) and David Rath (Hawthorn)
DANNY DALY, NORTH MELBOURNE
TWO knee reconstructions slowed, then stopped Danny Daly's suburban football career with Balwyn. He was 29.
He had a degree in business management, and promotions were coming steadily at Westpac, but Daly, still needing his football fix, began to look for alternative roles in the game.
"I became a bit of an opposition coach for Balwyn at the time, I suppose," he said. He also began to study other codes.
Then, through football's network, he landed a part-time job at Collingwood. There, he met Dean Laidley; they immediately hit it off.
"We went to a few games together, found out we had the same beliefs about where footy was going, had the same passion for tactics and strategy," Daly said.
"We kept talking about it, and got to know each other pretty well."
When Laidley became coach of North Melbourne, he offered Daly a full-time job. "It was a fantastic opportunity," he said.
"I thought I'd give it a go — but probably end up back in the bank in 12 months."
The day he started, Geoff Walsh, then North's chief executive, underscored a home truth for him. "When you are employed by a footy club, you will get sacked at some stage," Walsh said. "I hope you realise that."
Seven years later, Walsh is gone, but Laidley is still there, and so is Daly. First he worked in player welfare, then at devising strategy for stoppages.
Now he is opposition coach. In 2007, when North made the preliminary final, he went to 104 games all over the country. Last Friday, he was in Cairns to watch Melbourne play, then on a 5am Saturday flight back to Melbourne for North's game.
If Daly is in town for training, he assists Anthony Rock with the midfield. Matchdays, he sits alongside Laidley, "feeding him information on what the opposition might be doing … and dodging the odd flying water bottle".
He still gets quizzical stares, even from North people, but says it does not faze him. "I'm not too concerned with being in the public eye," he said. "Whether people know me or not, I'll just do my job for the footy club."
At 42, football is his vocation. The Walsh dictum remains in the back of his mind. But if — when — Laidley moves on, Daly thinks he at least has a presentable CV. "I'd like to think I'd built a bit of a reputation out there a someone who might be worth looking at," he said. He was chuffed last year to be asked to assist Mark Williams coach the Dream Team.
North already has left Daly two enduring legacies: a fiancee — Shannon Grant's sister — and a third knee reconstruction. "Christmas with the Grants. We were playing beach rugby," he said. "I should have known better."

Look how long his neck is. It looks like a cherry picker or those hoax photos from the 30's depicting the Loch Ness Monster. :lol :rollin :lol
Interesting CV. Just a thought but I was of the inkling footy clubs did not want to go down the path of picking coaches who had not played footy at the highest level especially since Wayne Brittain although the article did state there a re a handful of these blokes going around the comp currently.
Was he an appointment at North as he was untried and came cheap and it suited their finances. Look he may be a gem and lets give the bloke a go and I hope he does well that is for sure however his credentialls are not your traditional cup of tea. If I needed a surgeon I would seek one not someone whose good with a knife or scalpel or forceps...... just an opinion.

Brittain was very very good as an assistant coach but not good enough to be the main man. Prejudices such as not considering a person because he has not played at the highest level will only ever harm your chances of potentially getting the best available. Need to keep an open mind if you want the best outcome.

I do not know enough about our coaches to make any comment.
However, the Power seem to be doing the smart thing, first Dean Laidley and now Garry Hocking see: http://www.afl.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/208/newsid/86280/default.aspx
Good development coach to work with their kids...
That is one area we have been severly lacking of late...hope it is now fixed. :)
-
You would think there'd be some crossover with the choice of coaches we've made. Leppitsch has control of the backline but Hardwick would obviously have a large say as well. Lade and Cambo will work with the mids but Lade playing as a 3rd forward as he did would be familar with forward set-ups to work alongside Daly with our forwards.
A fresh set of voices for our cubs after 5 years but of course the proof will be in the pudding if this new coaching panel can get the best out of them.

Surprised to see Hornsby still listed there

Equally as surprised to see John Vickery still there. Only because I think with his son being on the senior list there is a clear conflict of interest IMHO
-
Equally surprised to see Paul Cameron still there :lol
On a serious note, seen a recent departed assistant coach at the races on Sat, not good :cheers

They need John to kick unwanted eyes out of closed training sessions ;D

Agree Infamy. You would've thought the fitness and conditioning area would've had a massive cleanout.

Monaghan would look after the non-footy/non-onfield side of the footy department.
I'd presume the other two deal with player development such as organising weight, boxing, training, etc ... sessions tailor made for each player specifically.
I think Cameron still holds his original title of list manager as well as head of the footy dept.
-
Equally as surprised to see John Vickery still there. Only because I think with his son being on the senior list there is a clear conflict of interest IMHO
He's only the boxing coach, hardly a person of influence
I don't really see a problem there
He was at the club all last year while Tyrone was at the club and Sideshow Bob did just fine.
-
Question for those in the know - who of the medical/conditioning/fitness staff are existing or new? I know Hornsby and Vickery are existing - who else?

IMHO he should have quit as soon as his son was drafted

Livingstone's job also includes ensuring there are enough host families for newbies, making sure that side of things are working (Lauren also works on this). Also involves putting the parameters in place for what the players can do outside of the footy eg Uni course etc. He heads up the development side of things so heworks closely with the development coaches on the things you mention MT

Bit harsh, if he was a coach or assistant coach then yes, even I think Tony Free should step down from the board if his son is picked up as he is in a position of influence. A boxing coach gets no say, it would be like having a masseuse need to quit because a relative was a player, it makes no difference.

Equally surprised to see Paul Cameron still there :lol
On a serious note, seen a recent departed assistant coach at the races on Sat, not good :cheers
Would he happen to be a North Melbourne dual Premiership Player Jack?
On Caulfield Guineas Night last year I was playing poker at the Casino in the Poker when at about 10 up he strolls onto our table slurring his words and re raising me with 9 and 3 off suit while I had pocket Queens. There were about 3 of us on that table who did not want to see him leave he must have blown 3K in the space of an hour but we just kept on cashing in. Remember the night well and turned a good night in terms of profit into an even better night. :thumbsup
Must admit he was an arroganant pr1ck but nonetheless it was more than plaeasing taking his money. By coincidence I was there last year also on Derby night just as drunk and incoherent but alas he sat at another table.
