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

[the_boy_jake]

Rumours in the media tonight (MMM and SEN) that Brad Scott may have the North job.

If true it's frees us up to not rush a decision on our 4 candidates.

Brad Scott must have narrowly missed out on a stage 2 interview for us.

If Hardwick misses out again on both jobs then it will be very interesting. Then again maybe North are moving towards Scott because Hardwick has indicated that he is more interested in the Richmond job and they want to save their 'brand'.

Caro today ruled out Jade and said it will come down to two of the remaining three to make a final presentation to the RFC Board. From what she was saying she either thinks Richardson will be one of them or there's support for him to get the gig. Probably just more media guesswork.

Well I think Caro is making things up to suit her argument

I believe the final 2 out of the final 4 will do their presentations (2nd interviews) this week to the sub-committee which includes Stafford & Dunne and late this week they will recommend 2 to present to the full board.

But when it's all said and done  who'd wnat the job anyway

Thats right.
Should of given the caretaker role to Sheeds/Matthews with a plan in place to hand the reins to someone else, James Hird etc etc.

If this is true then its a clear indication that Hardwick has told North that Richmond is his preferred option. 

Sheedy or Matthews acting as Hardwicks mentor would of been an outstanding result.

gee, he's a young bloke, they must see an al clarkson in him

Or alternatively it may mean he has missed out on a senior gig again 

[Infamy]

If this is true then its a clear indication that Hardwick has told North that Richmond is his preferred option. 

I dunno about that, given North's attitude to Buckley that he was either the senior coach or out of the running, Hardwick could simply have delayed or said he'd like to complete our process and then North ruled him out purely on that.

cousins captain & coach
lids vice
campbell and hinkley assistants

best fantasy i had all weekend.

[Ramps]

I dont even reckon that the development angle is as important at this stage, Richmonds problem isnt development, what needs to come first is awe and shock and the cleaning out the cancer that has infested the place, because if the club dont do that first then the new players coming into the club will be ultimately infested with the same mentality that has seeped into the current list of players barring only afew. AFL footy clubs are finishing schools not development schools. That being the case it is imperative that the coach who gets the job is a hard bastard who will drive the players hard and change the culture, not a bloke who is matey with the players- that will lead only to disaster.

Well SEN saying the word around the traps at Richmond is Hinkley is now the favourite followed by Richardson.

Ah ha ha they change their opinion daily.  They're jumping at shadows.   

[nahadaman]

I have to admit I agree with gtig, cousins as captain coach. Although I'm not sure if it is a fantasy or a flash back from the gear i've used to get through this season.

[one-eyed]

Well Mike tonight on 3aw just said he thinks no one including himself has any idea on who it'll be. Mike now thinks it's between Hinkley and Richardson while there's renewed interest in Hardwick from Port.

Damien Hardwick resumes Power talks
Michelangelo Rucci | August 19, 2009 05:20pm

DAMIEN Hardwick today flew to Adelaide to resume talks with the Power on joining its coaching panel next year.

Hardwick, still a contender for the senior vacancy at Richmond, today met Port president Brett Duncanson, chief executive Mark Haysman, coach Mark Williams and football operations chief Peter Rohde in Adelaide.

He is now the leading contender for Port's new, full-time role as "senior" assistant coach.

It was Hardwick's second meeting with Port in 14 days.

Hardwick this morning was met by Duncanson and Haysman at Adelaide Airport.

"We want to catch up with Damien to see where he is at," said Haysman before meeting Hardwick.

Cats assistant Ken Hinkley is now the bookies' favourite for the Tigers job.

Latest betting:

Hinkley           $1.22
Hardwick        $4.00
Rawlings        $6.00
Richardson     $9.00
