You would think when dust settles he will leave. It’d be the equivalent of proposing to your other half, then saying no, would you seriously keep dating?

McQualter leaves Punt Road after missing main job

By AAP
3 October 2023


FORMER caretaker Andrew McQualter has departed Richmond after missing out on the club's full-time head coaching role to Adem Yze.

On September 21, Yze was named head coach in a tight call ahead of long-standing assistant McQualter, who took the reins after Damien Hardwick's abrupt resignation in May and led the Tigers to seven wins from 13 games.

Yze had said he would be happy to have McQualter as his "right-hand man", but his departure had appeared on the cards.

McQualter has yet to announce his next move, but the Tigers said he had left for another club after 10 years at Punt Rd.

The former St Kilda and Gold Coast player initially joined as VFL playing assistant and development coach ahead of the 2014 season, but later became an AFL assistant.

He was involved in Richmond's three premierships in 2017, 2019 and 2020.

"We would like to thank Andrew for his incredible service to Richmond across 10 years, " football performance boss Tim Livingstone said in a statement.

"He formed great relationships within the organisation and played a big part in our success over that period.

"Stepping up to be interim coach was a selfless decision by Andrew, and he did a brilliant job leading the team for 13 weeks.

"Andrew moves on to further enhance his coaching credentials, which we respect.
"He is an excellent coach with a long future in the game, and we wish him and his family all the best. "

As always you have to pot someone without any reference to the facts...

Clearly you missed what the guy said at his last post match presser when he was asked whether he would stay if he didn't get the job. He said he wouldn't be staying because it wouldn't be fair on the person who got it..

Heaven forbid if you had to acknowledge that  ::)

well didnt you say this.  :lol

There's no statement to make unless he leaves

Yze said in his presser he wants him to stay but it's up to Mini


so now he has made his call and i have made a statement. Suck it up

Probably for the best.

Didn't mind him but it's likely better for Yze and Mini.

Good luck McQ

As always you don't read things through, just jump on something to take a cheap potshot

You have posted a quote from the Yze’s preser when he was appointed caoch. He said he wanted Mini to stay. And at the time of posting McQualter had not left so there was no statement from the Club about him leaving or staying. Gee I thought for a learned person like yourself Frankie that wouldn't be that hard to understand

My previous post in this thread I said McQualter at his final post match presser he had said when asked what he'd do if he didn't get the job and he said he'd leave as it wouldn't be fair on the new bloke coming in. Now, if you had gone trolling through a few more posts of mine you would have found I have said that a few times

Funny how you didn't do that, just took what you liked to suit your argument

Honestly you can't win.

What's Yze supposed to say? Nah I want Mini to GTFO?

What's Mini supposed to say? If I don't get the job I'll sulk and quit?


They both said what they had to say regardless of their intentions or preferences.

Fair call Andyy

but I don't think Mini is the sulking type and is a straight arrow.

I also reckon Yze would have wanted Mini to stay because it is pretty clear the bond he has with the players and he has massive intel which could have been an asset

 :lol as if.

Anyway he can sook off to the Dees now.

They must be operating on a different soft cap than us. :shh

we lost 2 and have gained one i think? Lambert upgraded to a midfield role and tbh he didnt show much in that role. I hope Yze poaches someone else because surely we arent that stupid to go down that road again.

I can 100% confirm he didn’t sook it up. Left for what he thinks is a better opportunity and also wants to give Yze space.

Doing the right thing.

So, there you have it.
“I find it nearly impossible to make those judgments, but he is certainly up there with the really important ones, he is certainly up there with the Francis Bourkes and the Royce Harts and the Kevin Bartlett and the Kevin Sheedys, there is no doubt about that,” Balme said.
