Richmond has bolstered its coaching department and VFL program in 2014 with the appointment of former St Kilda and Gold Coast midfielder Andrew McQualter.

The 27-year-old, who played in three Grand Finals for the Saints (including the 2010 GF replay against Collingwood) in an 89-game career with them, will take on a development coaching role at Tigerland, working under Senior Development Coach, Mark Williams.

“As a player Andrew displayed strong leadership, outstanding communication skills, resilience and great football game sense.  It is these qualities we feel will make him an outstanding development coach and we welcome him to the Richmond Football Club,” said Richmond’s General Manager of Football, Dan Richardson.

Hmm weird, such a young coach. Maybe this is a good thing and he will be able to connect with the players more easily. Might even get a game  :shh
