Gary March on SEN with KB @ 9.30am

Memo to a few:

Stick to the topic and away from all personal sniping, especially those that involve avoiding the swear filter

It's interesting Jake - I just took Caro's article yesterday as being an opinion piece on the topic of Sheeds wanting to coach. I didn't read and think "she's out to stir up trouble". I just thought she's giving her opinion on it and using comments that have been in the public domain for some time now.

I will admit that I do agree with what she wrote yesterday especially the bit about certain past players having stirred up trouble in the past. Sadly for the RFC that is true

I read that into it too WP. I just can't understand what the fuss is about.

[Infamy]

we are a basketcase have been for a very long time
they are the only 4 guys who know success that can coach

its no time for experimentation

we tried that with spud , young dimwit

has to be sheedy or malthouse

We didn't try a new coach with Frawley, we got the only person who wanted the job, the assistant coach from the wooden spooners
We went for experience with Walls & Wallace and that got us no where
We went for an untried coach with Geishen and that got us no where too

Face it, we have a crap track record with all types of coaches in recent history, so we just need to go for the BEST candidate

I reckon she is stung by the to and fro with Eddie McGuire. She obviously doesn't want Sheeds to coach. Possibly on football grounds, possibly for her own reputation. She said that there is a line through Sheeds name and if there isn't she is plain wrong. Now we have a circus because of that article.

Either way I think her problem with Sheeds coaching and KB pushing Sheedy's case is a little hypocritical. Either you can be a Richmond person and be paid to have your opinion in the public domain or not. I'd rather they both shut up and we finished the process, but Caro has been doing us a disservice for years with her opinions and undisclosed sources IMHO. I can empathise with a 403 game player finding it hard to show a little restraint in pitching for his premiership teammate.

Gary March "delighted" by Sheedy interest
Finn Bradshaw | July 09, 2009

RICHMOND president Gary March has denied claims that the current Tigers' board would never appoint Kevin Sheedy as coach.

Media reports yesterday suggested that some board members were vehemently opposed to the idea of Sheedy as Richmond coach and would not ratify his appointment even if the coaching sub-committee recommended him.

“The board doesn’t have any negativity towards anyone because we don’t get involved other than give (the sub-committee) the criteria that they’ve got to follow and the type of person we want to get,” March said on radio station SEN this morning.

Richmond is looking for a new coach following Terry Wallace’s departure. Sheedy, who coached Essendon for 27 years, announced on his SuperFooty blog last week that he wanted the role.

The Tigers have put a lengthly selection process in place as they search for their new senior coach. Last weekend, Sheedy said he was happy to go through the Tigers’ evaluation process, a decision which delighted the Tigers’ president.

“He is going to go through the coaching process which I’m delighted with because he’s an icon of the game and an icon of the club,” March said.

March said he hadn’t “put a line” through any contenders, but even so, he didn’t wield that sort of power

“Richmond Football Club is not Zimbabwe ... we don’t have a dictatorship. I don’t always get my way all the time … I don’t have that level of influence over other board members,” he said.

March said he had not yet discussed the coaching role with the former Tigers' legend.

“I’ve never had that conversation with Kevin. I’ve had conversations with Kevin Sheedy over the past two years to get him back involved with Richmond … centred around his desire to help us with marketing and at that stage, after the Essendon experience, he wasn’t looking to go back into coaching and we had a contracted coach so we never entertained Kevin coaching Richmond. But the landscape’s changed.”

It had been suggested that the groundswell of support for Sheedy was causing unrest at Tigerland, something dismissed by March.

“I wouldn’t have thought (Sheedy’s interest) was divisive. I haven’t heard anything from anyone,” he said.

All the above have one thing in common - they became coach with no selection process and no competition for the job. Walls was a desperate grab to replace Northey, Geisch was our assistant coach who got the job based on 4 wins out of 5 as caretaker, Frawley was the only one who showed up, and Wallace was courted by Casey and Miller.
