We Need Malthouse

[WA Tiger]

After watching the game tonight on Fox while listening to this poo I notice Malthouse has managed YET AGAIN to get Collingwood over the line against the Eagles in Perth. He does it all the time.
WELL MALTHOUSE TO THE RFC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No just no.

We don't need a gameplan that follows the boundary line.

There is a reason he struggles to win premierships.

[Babsky]

True.  But at least he gets them to Finals.

I'd take his record over the past 10 years over anyone elses.

You mean zero flags?
I'd like to aim higher personally

Compare lists he had with those teams that went higher. Coaches dont manage lists and recruit in modern footy. They coach. Malthouse has gotten more out of an average list than anyone else going around.

And Geelong were ars lucky to beat them in the prelim.

hardwick is a better long term option

hardwick is a better long term option

Hardwick will not come to us. We have a perceived instability and no gonads when making hard calls.

Look at his record as a player at Essendon and Port. One flag at each
His record as an assistant is not too shabby either with a flag at Hawthorn.

Why? Stable boards and clubs who made the right and hard calls initially when the quest for a premiership was sought. Wht would we offer and why would he want to tarnish that record?

Coach that must be recruited must be an older coach. Ie Malthouse or Matthews.
The attractiveness would be to see us as a challenge. The ultimate challenge and their last hurrah as an active coach before they retire. Will be motivated for one last big job, and not like Blighty at the Saints playing golf. We need them as they will bring stability and some on field success as a minimum and they need us as their egos can still say that they can do it. One last reinvention of their character to prove all those scribes and naysayers wrong. That's the best way I can put it.

Leigh Matthews is someone that the club could build the "New Richmond" around.

so sheedy is "too old" but matthews isnt?  ???

[Ramps]

the style of communication is different, the way they come across is different, matthews seems more direct and i favor a new coach who will be more direct with the players.

YOU OBV DONT KNOW MATTHEWS TOO WELL,  i know an ex player at the lions, he is now an assistant coach there and was part of their powerhouse era. can tell you now, the reason matthews was shafted by j.brown and the group was bec of his lack of communication and rapport with the players.

funny thing is, the playing group at brisbane last yr got rid of matthews and did it quietly. the same thing, led by their captain. however at rfc, it was leaked and huge news


go figure

[bushranger]

We already have a Madhouse without adding to it with a Malthouse.
No thanks but thanks for asking.

None of the older coaches (Sheedy, Malthouse, Matthews, Pagan) would be a good fit for us imho.  They were all at their best and saw success at least 5-10 years ago - when they were younger, harder and innovative.  Time has now passed them all by and I don't believe our playing group would respond to them much at all quite frankly.  We need a younger coach that has a very strong work-minded ethos when it comes to preparing and playing.  No consultative approach here but a no frills, no excuses, no prisoners attitude that leaves every single player in absolutely no doubt as to who is boss, what the gameplan is and how it should be played.  Whoever takes us on next year will get a 'bargain basement' buy to the extent that our list is not a train wreck and has plenty of ability - every single game since R1 this year has shown that - but it is in desperate need of strength of character and fear of failure.  If the new coach can bring those 2 simple traits to the job then the results will appear much quicker than outsiders (and many insiders) will dream possible.

So who are my choices (in order)?

Nathan Buckley (who I don't think will come to Richmond but is my stand out choice)
Mark Williams (who I can't stand personally but think he ticks all the boxes of our requirements)
Ken Hinkley
Damien Hardwick

for the first time ever, i am jumping on the malthouse bandwagon.

A young coach in the rfc environment would just get crucified, by the media and by the players.

Malthouse hates richmond, which is great, beacuse the richmond we are now is not the richmond he played with.

We need to start over.

A senior experienced coach like malthouse with a proven record of getting players to play above their ability and a penchant for not putting up with any poo from anyone is probably what we need.

Getting him to the rfc is another matter alll together, why would he risk his reputation.

Balme would proabably crucial in this situation, but again, thry both nothing to gain but everything to lose.
