Rawlings must get the job next year

[Infamy]

Roos had a pretty lengthy history with the Swans as a player and captain. Rawlings doesn't exactly have that at Richmond.

Thats true! But being an outsider can have its advantages, such as a fresh set eyes, ideas and not being afraid of reputations

would he have the balls to retire his brother in law?

I dont think he'll need to, the big fella is clever enough to decide that for himself i reckon.

[Smokey]

I dunno about that, I'd say when the game was there to be lost, Melbourne stepped down from the plate

Yes, that's what they did.  Kicking 2 goals in time on to hit the front and battling desperately in the final 2 minutes to lose to a kick after the siren.

Honestly Ramps i think he would

[Jackstar is back]

Just watched the you tube video of when McMahon kicked the goal, WTF were Reiwoldt and Morton doing on the bench at the end of the game,??? Extremely poor by Rawlings you would think, They werent injured by the speed they ran onto the ground

[bojangles17]

Caretaker coaches always seem to get the best out of players initially.

do they, remind us all how

• Ratten did following Pagan
  Riley after Daniher
  and

Crocker is tracking.

..you might like to rephrase from always to sometimes, depending on callibre of the caretaker, hope that helps

[1980]

As has been posted earlier, Geish has the best win/loss of any Tiger coach in recent history! It now appears as though Jade has the proven form and the others are the unknown!

He had 25 wins in 49 games. Hardly earth shattering and if that is what has been the best at our club for a generation and people want to hang their hats on that and make comparisons to it with Rawlings then we may be down the garden path again.

It is the anti-Rawlings people making the Geishen comparisons, im pointing out the folly of it!
I prefer to look at Paul Roos/Sydney snenario! I would also like to see a better reason than Jeff Geishen for not appointing Jade, what are his weaknesses? What decisions has he made at the selection table to deny him the job? What is wrong with his vision for the club? Thats what we need to know not what previous caeretakers have done!

What you need to know is that Richmond supporters get highly excitable and carried away over anything. Especially when a coach has jsut been sacked. Especially when we win a couple of pointeless games under the caretaker.

You come across as too young (or maybe too old and senile) to remember how we carried on with geischen to the point where one of our best club presidents stupidly tied his own job to the Geisch.

And we are doing the very same thing now with rawlings. An independent observer would say WTF has this guy done except not be Wallace.

you have got absolutely no idea mate

i have heard it all now

[Francois Jackson]

i cant believe SOME of you are touching yourself over a few cheap wins against the most useless teams in the comp.

hahahahahaha LMAO

i personally have learnt not to get excited about anything and after watching a few highlights on the net i am more convinced than ever.

IF RAWLINGS GETS THE JOB WE ARE stuffed FOR THE NEXT 2/3 YEARS

he is a glorified version of Wallace. what we are 12th in Tackles and Wallet was 9th.

he has done nothing and is playing players like Mcmahon, Patterson and Hislop which says to me he has NFI

its a shame we dont play anyone inside the top 8(Saints aside and look how that ended up) because i can guarantee they will smash us especially the top 4 then maybe then everyone can see we have not improved one little bit under him

Edited: again for avoiding the swear filter

1980...Leon Daphnes support for Giesh is what people call in the real world UNITY.

What fools....this is Richmond.

Daniel, you are twisting words to suit your own agenda again! I am basing my thoughts on the progress of the younger players not win/loss ratio! Wins do wallpaper over cracks, i agree, but for the first time in recent history it seems to be the younger players who are influencing the game not the older ones! That must be good!


Edited: to amend quote due avoidence of the swear filter

Wallace had lost the players, its not that hard for Rawlings to have achieved some limited improvement in some players as a result. Rawlings has never been in a successful premiership environment and thats a real issue for him going forward. He should go back to the VFL or go to the WAFL or SANFL and coach a couple of flags so he can show that he can achieve a flag. Richmond should not be an experiment for a coach who hasnt achieved success in the past.

Actually what Richmond should do is actually give the job to the best person and if that happens to Jade Rawlings so be it
