Former Geelong star forward Cameron Mooney believes Richmond has made an excellent choice with its appointment late last year of Gerard Murphy as a leadership consultant.

“Steve, there was a great man down in Geelong years ago – Gerard Murphy – who headed up Leading Teams.  He came down to Geelong in 2007 and, in my opinion, turned the whole club around,” Mooney said.

“He turned the (playing) group around, and we went on and had some amazing success.

“He’s not in the Leading Teams department now, but he’s down there (at Richmond) doing his own thing with you blokes . . .”

“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.

If we win the toss can he tell us which way to kick?
The club that keeps giving.

Hopefully will start to improve the decision making process in the first instance.

I heard Ling talk about this guy at a presentation in 2012.

If what he said is true, this guy will help turn the club around. Very blunt assessment of individualism vs truly selfless and team orientated culture.

And if I'm saying its a positive move by the club, you know it must be

Having a real big influence on players wanting to show commitment by resigning contracts.

Joke and a flog.

Gerard Murphy has parted ways with the Club (he left two weeks ago).

He and the senior players had a "difference of opinion" and the players wanted Murphy gone. So he's left.

Did he suggest that we are actually not that good and perhaps need to work hard to win games ?

Our players are ambitious, independent and assured.

If this guy is not up to the task and is demotivating, uninspiring, boring and laborious.

No brainer.

The word is some of the players didn't like the home truths and wanted him gone.

That could be said about two thirds of the club at the moment...
