Rawlings must get the job next year

[Smokey]

It would be funny if say a Hardwick was appointed and the first thing he says is all the over 30's are gawn and that means Cuz too ...there would be a mutiny before he even coaches a game 

And trust me it could happen 

And trust me, there'll be a mass exodus of members if that happens as well
He is one of the few shining lights about the club at the moment
And Hardwick or whoever won't have a moment's rest after that silly decision if it happens.

As the new coach it would be a good way to acquaint yourself with the passion of the Richmond supporter base!

I am with ya Froars - just highlighting a possible scenario that would be funny and gut wrenching.

I can see it .... All those calling for say a Hardwick or a Hinkley to coach us would possibly turn on their annointed one if he said I am cutting Cuz 

As the new coach it would be a good way to acquaint yourself with the passion of the Richmond supporter base!  

Certainly would a massive capital "F" back into the word FERAL

Ross Lyon - Midfield coach at Sydney for their Premiership in 2005 after arriving in 2004
Ratten - Remind me if he ever wins anything, very average coach if you ask me
Daniher - We don't want a "reasonable" coach

Infamy - just pointing out those coaches that don't appear on the surface to have or had any of this "mongrel" that people are saying the next coach must have. Not saying they are good coaches (except Lyon at this stage). For what Daniher had it his disposal he did alright.

Also, Ross Lyon is another example of a coach not having success as a player but doing alright in the coaching department

[Smokey]

Daniher - We don't want a "reasonable" coach

9 years, 6 final series, 1 grand final, average list.  He was a bit more than reasonable.

what should Rawlings do if he doesn't get the job? Bit hard for him to go back to being an rfc understudy?

[one-eyed]

Newy was asked by reporters today at training if he endorses Rawlings for next year? Newy responded by just saying I'm sure we all have faith in the club to make the right decision on the new coach. Not up to the players to go up to Craig Cameron and say who they want as coach. Us winning may help Jade's cause but it really is just about us developing as a side for the rest of the season. Jade's doing a good job on that front but Newy said he'll leave it up to the Club's process to determine the new coach. So SEN ran with the headline that Newman fails to endorse Rawlings as the next coach.

Damned if you do and damned if you dont.  Nothing wrong with what Newy said and a good response I would have thought.

Plus Newy would have been instructed by the club PR to respond that way!

Spot on - perfect answer from the Captain 

problem is I suppose that the other players have been talking Jade up a bit so the deluded souls in the media want all players to talk him up failure to do so creates a stupid pointless headline

Daniher - We don't want a "reasonable" coach

9 years, 6 final series, 1 grand final, average list.  He was a bit more than reasonable.

Firstly, I didn't choose the word reasonable, secondly, 9 years with the one team, 0 flags and left their list as one of the worst in the competition. I'd like to aim a little higher personally.

I dont know what 6 finals (including 1 GF) appearances in 9 years feels like....but I do know what 2 finals appearances in 27 years feels like...and its not very pleasant

Im not a great fan of Neil coaching us either and i can see both sides of the argument but i wonder what Melbourne and Neil could have done with better finances and facilities?

Im trying to imagine a world where Richmond has the same coach for 9 years and makes the finals 2 out of every 3 years.

So you're happy just making the finals and making up the numbers each year? Sorry, but I'd be happy missing the finals every year for 9 years if I knew we'd win a flag in the 10th year.

You and I have settled down
I love the thrill of the case
You been following me around
I know you really wanna settle down
But I love the thrill of the chase"

Love the rollercoaster that is our magnificent club.
