We try playing attacking footy through the corridor and turn it over with poor disposal.. Recruit to fill the need of good kicking players ie. Menadue, c Ellis, Rioli, Lennon.. Probably
Some others I've forgotten. We don't have the cattle to play fast attacking footy.

I think it's more than poor disposal, it's also poor decision making.

Vlastuin is supposed to be an elite kick but he being let done by his poor decision making under pressure. Ellis B, when recruited was considered an elite kick (long kick I might add) at TAC level but he is failing miserably at AFL level; more so because he wont kick long

Also the good kicking is one of the reasons they got Yarran, as he supposedly an elite kick. Unfortunately we can't get him on the park

Watching Luke Beveridge on Footy Classified the other night a couple of thoughts occurred to me.

We posters seem to have always had a problem with coming up with alternative senior coaches. Since Hardwick was appointed there have been a few other coaches appointed - Pyke, Bolton, Cameron, Hinkley, Richardson, Simpson and Beveridge. The thing that seems to jump out at me is that they all seem to possess the ability that I consider essential to a good coach - being able to instill their players with the confidence to take the game on. They are all attacking coaches which seems to be exactly what we Tiger fans really want to see. There are some players at their teams that to me were very ordinary but have boomed under their coaching while our good players seem to go backwards.

Unfortunately with a board dominated by accountants and lawyers, I fear Richmond is going to be the last place where a risk is taken in getting any new coaches.
It seems to be a basic rule that it is preferable to wait until there is NO alternative to making a change rather than make a change and be blamed if it does not work.   
Really well said.

That is true. I'd say most of our players crack with decision making under pressure.

Bellis does kick long, just hardly ever to the advantage of our forwards, rather a blind kick and hope

It's the coaches directive. Retain possession, dinky 20 metre specials only, don't take risks, show no flare, don't kick long, never take the game on, don't play on, slow the game down, all be good administrators, show no emotion, be a robot.....

Good coaches invent new styles to suit the playing group, good coaches take risks with the squad, good coaches get new ideas & look outside the box.

Some coaches just repeat last years fad & are always a step behind the winners.....

Look if he thinks he can win the 2016 flag with a mix of Neil Craig's 2005/6 Crowbots gameplan and Terry's Triangle we should back him in..... :gotigers

Footy fads go in circles. Richmond are eyeing the 2060 flag so be prepared to have Dimma around for a while. Plenty of time to nail the game plan.

His game plan has no defensive side and the unskilled players can't execute his current plan, the just turn the ball over.
