Colbert is going to join the Eagles next year apparently. Worked part-time there last year. Buckley has his media contract (not sure if there is a out clause to coach).

I think it will be Wayne Campbell as the new assistant coach as it makes sense to me lol. Didn't Cambo consider an assistant role when he retired (after he went travelling) but Terry told Cambo to go to another club first to experience a different culture. He's played under Plough in the Wallace's first year so he would know how Terry coaches and taking another person from the Bulldogs wouldn't be anything new lol.

Hudson has huge wraps as a development coach. Would he do a Wallace and want to come back to Punt Rd after a forgettable period as a player with us.

Nathan Buckley, fantastic leader.

Yeah but that doesn't mean he is going to make a great coach.

Look at the coaches in the AFL with the exception of Leigh Matthews who was a great player and a true champion (a word used too loosely these days IMHO) and perhaps Roos the current crop aren't "greats" of the game, most were good players but not great and to take it further some weren't even good players, they were just average

I think he should do an apprenticeship...

If he was interested I'd certainly offer him assistants role.....

But he hates Richmond so I reckon there is "buckleys" chance he'd wind up at the Tigers

Not too sure about that WP. Has he ever admitted it?

I know he seems biased against Richmond on TV but perhaps he is just telling the truth.

You only have to listen to bucks as he chats about football. This is a guy who has a very smart football brain and that is exactly what we need at our club.

Colbert....you gotta be joking whoever suggested that... big negative for me.

Only mckenna compares to Bucks IMO as suitable candidates for our club going forward

What are peoples thoughts on someone from Coburg being appointed as a Development coach?

The reserves coach at Coburg Adam Potter has had a great record with the young kids over the last couple of years. He has been able to bring kids from different playing backgrounds together and form an extremely competitve unit.

I would assume he would have a good knowledge of the way Richmond would want to educate the young kids and could prove to be a nice fit.

What do people think?

He would probably tick 9 out of ten boxes.
If he isnt a mate of wallets, he wont get the gig.
Might be in his best interest to wait 12 months ;)

Bucks said a few weeks ago he's contracted to the media next year.

Isn't he the gun developer down at the Pies? He'd go well along with McRae.

Would anyone here consider Robert Harvey in an assistant (midfield) coaching role at Richmond?

Player development next to McRae.  :thumbsup


But I doubt that would happen.  Sounds like he'll be with the Saints for life after the press conference yesterday.  Might be doing the pre-season next yeah just for poos and giggles.  ;D
