Ben Rutten - assistant coach/ backline coach

[1965]

I know talk is cheap but I like what he said there.
Sounds like he chose us over a few other suitors too which is encouraging.

What he said.

 

[Go Richo 12]

Is Hardwick afraid of experienced coaches? Might be a threat to his position

in a word

Yes

Is Choco not experienced?

[Penelope]

or Ross Smith?

aren't facts such pesky inconvenient little buggers?

[Francois Jackson]

in a word

Yes

Is Choco not experienced?

okay true he is

choco is finished though mate no threat there.

you think he would attempt to go after a Ratten or a Ling

No chance

Ratten is tied to Hawthorn and from all accounts is very happy there. Ling has said he is more interested in staying in the media and you could hardly call him experienced as a coach anyway.

[Judge Roughneck]

why do we not have a director of football ala rodney eade

choco looks like he has lots the fire / didnt look 'right' after he came 2nd for saints gig

[The Big Richo]

I'm happy with Rutten but I'd like to see us clear the decks and bring in Voss, Akermanis and Hayes.

We do his name is Dan Richardson the head of our footy department

Exactly the same role as Eade at Pies, Balme at Geelong, Walsh at N0rt, McKay at Carlton

[Judge Roughneck]

I find him uninspiring

[Francois Jackson]

I find him uninspiring

Yep and nearly lost us dusty while topping up every other spuds salary

[Mr Magic]

Martin didn't deserve the big bucks. Thought Richardson handled it very well as he has all our contracts so far.
Doing a fine job.

[TigerMonk]

oh just another bloke who will send the game plan back to Adelaide for when we play them. No wonder we have alot of spud players who get smashed in big games. Retired players becoming instant coaches at only our club. Richmond should have their own MVP award for training the most coaches that never get a job anywhere else

Yeah was vitally important we didn't lose Conca....

[Rampstar]

Conca looks like a 2nd round (at best player) why Jackson spent pick 6 on him is anyones guess. If you put him on the trade table youd be lucky if you got pick 25

In an uncompromised draft, tipping you'd find a better player than Conca with that pick 25 too.....

....well most clubs would anyway.....
