Richardson, Hardwick, Rawlings and Hinkley left in RFC coaching race

[1980]

I'd doubt will have to worry about a "unleash the Giesch" scenario now. A caretaker coach can make or break his name and the last 2 weeks was breaking point. Down to Hardwick, Hinkley and Richardson if they haven't ran for the hills already.

Coaching Richmond is like searching for the Holy Grail. For the discoverer of the secret untold wealth, fame and evermore legenary status is yours; if you fail you're never seen again  .

Except the holy grail is a myth.

No it's not - I've seen the movie.  Damn funny one it is too!

Mark Stevens on Ch 10's Fifth Quarter reckons Hardwick to North for sure and Ken Hinkley to Richmond.

The media guessing you'd think as they are changing their reports almost every day on who'll get the job. A rare time the Club hasn't leaked.

yeah, lets not forget the media all had cambo as fav for the caretaker job...odds on in fact

[mightytiges]

Hinkley would have the lowest profile but his coaching pedigree is good. He's coached his own sides to three flags in the Hampden and Geelong leagues and of course was (and still is) assistant to Bomber Thompson at Geelong when they broke their 44 year drought.

Wouldnt think a low profile person would be the way to go

No leaks as they have no idea what they are doing

That hasn't stopped leaking in the past

On the other hand it may help prevent a messiah complex the Club has where one person is expected to come in and cure all ills. If anyone at the Club or amongst supporters thinks we will finish higher than bottom 3 in 2010 they are deluded.

[Hellenic Tiger]

Club needs someone with balls. If he has a high profile good alow profile good too.
But he needs to have balls and use them. Look at Ross Lyon has the profile of an inconspicuous pensioner and listening to him is about as exciting as listening to your mother n law but he gets the job done.

Hardwick Hardwick Hardwick.

I agree.
What a mess

Not having a go Jack, just interested to know why you think that?

[pmac21]

Believe Ken Hinkley is firming.
Would be a good fit. 

[Ramps]

Believe Ken Hinkley is firming.
Would be a good fit. 

Is he a tough operator, what role has he done at Geelong in terms of assistant coaching. Has he looked after the defence, the midfield, the attack?
