Why Richmond must improve rapidly if they are to make September (Foxsports)

[Stalin]

well done to collingwood for going the full rebuild from a flag winning position

very brave , long term list building 

[DCrane]

On a basic level I think the issue we have at the moment is our A graders performances have plateaued and our 2nd tier players haven't lifted their level enough to fill the gap. As a result we have become a team bereft of star power and if we dont perform at a peak level across the board any team in the competition will give us trouble. Other top sides do have this star power and it might just win you that 3 or 4 close games which make the difference between a top 4 side and a team battling to make the 8.

This season especially I keep hearing new names of players from other sides who weren't especially high draft picks but are suddenly performing at a higher level. We dont seem to have that same continual development so in our current situation we really dont have much left in the bank.

Too many duds.....

Start again.

Serious or not, have you got any idea outside of the main players what the roles are of all the people you've labelled "failed"

Seriously you think Choco Williams has failed? Rutten as a 2nd year assistant coach has failed

There are some people on that list that have definitely not "failed"

You'd have to admit though that given the evident performance failures that at least more than half have failed.

[YellowandBlackBlood]

Geoff Shepherd is not a fail. His role is the Chaplain, not the Chaplin!

[Stalin]

Satanic

[Yeahright]

Whos praising them The question was how many rookies from other clubs have played 50 games.
 
I mentioned just one club and they have had god knows how many who fit that criteria.I extended the criteria to picks after the 3rd round basically picks from 60 onwards.And included many late nd and rookie picks from recent years.

Yeah, which was pretty pointless. Now provide us on the Richmond players because we have nothing to compare with

[WilliamPowell]

[You'd have to admit though that given the evident performance failures that at least more than half have failed.

Not disputing some have failed

But to suggest ALL have failed is just not correct

Look at McRae he's been back 6 months a bit foolish to suggest he has failed

Football Department

General Manager of Football-Dan Richardson Fail
Promised a big fish gave us sardines. 
General Manager of Player Personnel & List Management-Blair Hartley Fail Massive fail for too many reasons to mention. Where is our ruckman? Where's our gun midfielder? Who's replacing Chaplin? 
Executive and Administration Assistant Football-Ashleigh Dummett Ok Ashliegh is alright. But don't mention the Christmas party. 
AFL Compliance, Scheduling and Administration Manager-Jenna Earle Ok I heard she's doing a great job with scheduling and she goes alright. 
Head of Coaching & Football Performance-Tim Livingstone Fail
Our coaches aren't inventive or risk takers, all still trying to copy last years fad. The coaches were all outperformed in the last three finals. 
Player Development Manager-Bronwyn Doig TBA I think Browyn needs to have a good look at how she's developing.
Leadership Consultant-Gerard Murphy Fail The biggest problem we have at Richmond is leadership Gerald. 
Senior Coach-Damien Hardwick Fail Dumma said He will make us a premiership team because he knew how. He also said that unless a player can win his own ball he won't be playing in the jumper. He also thinks Hampsud is ok. You've failed us Dumma. 
Defensive Coach-Ross Smith Fail We are a rabble this year in defence.
Midfield Stoppage Coach-Brendon Lade Fail This dufus is only there because he's best mates with Dumma. 
Defenders Coach-Ben RuttenFail Besides maybe Rance, our defenders don't have a clue this year, just ask Astbury. 
Offensive Coach-Mark Williams Fail shooting blanks.
Senior Development Coach-Mark 'Choco' Williams Fail Excluding obvious improvement in Rance, Martin etc. I still see players going backwards when drafted to us.
Forwards Coach-Greg Mellor Fail We are still waiting for any semblance of what you'd call a decent forward structure.
Development Coach-Ryan Ferguson Fail Elton Struggled.
Development Coach-Andrew McQualter Fail See Elton Struggled
VFL Coach-Craig McRae TBA we will see.
VFL Football Operations Manager-Daniel Hull Fail If it's this guys job to get a decent VFL squad then it's a fail.
Opposition Analyst and Pro Scout-Nick Austin Fail we still can't beat Geelong or North and it's all Nicks fault.
Football Technology Coordinator-Simon Reinsch Fail We need the best and everyone in tech knows that Simon isn't the best. Just ask Michael.
Football Technology Assistant-Michael Stuart Fail Michael is mates with Simon who got him this gig.
Recruitment Manager-Francis Jackson Fail 10 years of duds, seriously?
Recruiting Officer-Matthew Clarke Fail you haven't improved the situation.
Recruiting Officer-Richard Taylor Fail find us something Dick!
Recruiting Officer-Luke Williams Fail Dud delist.
Physical Performance Manager-Peter Burge Fail We aren't physical enough Pete. Fail!
Rehabilitation and Conditioning Coach-Luke Meehan Fail Conca and Grimes still getting injured, lift your games Luke.
Strength & Conditioning Coach-Adam Douglas Fail still one of the softest teams in the AFL.
Sports Science Advisor-Brendan Fahrner Fail We are still too slow and our recovery is terrible. Whatever it takes Brendan!
VFL Strength and Conditioning-Rob Inness Fail the kids are too skinny.
Head Trainer & Myotherapist-Matt Pearce Fail why isnt Deledio playing yet? Or Yarran? Or Maric? Maybe your hands are too soft.
Boxing Coach-John Vickery Fail I wouldn't bet on any of the players to win a boxing match.
Property and Facility Manager-Giuseppe Mamone Awesome (Sounds like he's Made) Well done Guiseppe. Great job!
Chaplain-Geoff Shepherd Fail your prayers aren't working chap!

'Some' meaning most. That being the case, clean out required. Don't know how you could justify otherwise.

[WilliamPowell]

'Some' meaning most. That being the case, clean out required. Don't know how you could justify otherwise.

Wouldn't even try with you because you'd whack me any for always being "positive" (which I'm not BTW) and making excuses

Executive and Administration Assistant Football-Ashleigh Dummett Ok Ashliegh is alright.
AFL Compliance, Scheduling and Administration Manager-Jenna Earle Ok I heard she's doing a great job with scheduling and she goes alright. 

Snide comments and again do you know what their respective roles are?

Player Development Manager-Bronwyn Doig TBA I think Browyn needs to have a good look at how she's developing.

Again any idea what her role actually is?

Leadership Consultant-Gerard Murphy Fail The biggest problem we have at Richmond is leadership Gerald. 

Actually agree with you here. HE was bought in (he's from leading teams) and we seem to have gone backwards

Defenders Coach-Ben RuttenFail Besides maybe Rance, our defenders don't have a clue this year, just ask Astbury. 

Again, it's his 2nd season & correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure in 2015 last season we had (based on all the stats) one of the best defences in the AFL. We are 2 games into season 2016 so to grade him fail is harsh and unrealistic

Senior Development Coach-Mark 'Choco' Williams Fail Excluding obvious improvement in Rance, Martin etc. I still see players going backwards when drafted to us.

Again harsh call...funny I'd say Menadue's improved, others as well but we don't discuss those because it defeats the purpose I suppose

Development Coach-Ryan Ferguson Fail Elton Struggled.

1st season full time in role.

Is Elton all you can come up with?

Development Coach-Andrew McQualter Fail See Elton Struggled

See above re Elton

VFL Football Operations Manager-Daniel Hull Fail If it's this guys job to get a decent VFL squad then it's a fail.

good blame the bloke who has nothing to do with picking the players that go on the list but carry on. His role is mainly admin of the VFL side

Property and Facility Manager-Giuseppe Mamone Awesome (Sounds like he's Made) Well done Guiseppe. Great job!

best in the business is Seppe 

[Stalin]

Agreed with sacking the vicker

[Francois Jackson]

most of those are spot on excluding Mcrae, but give him a year and he will soon the join the list.

Hackson, Hackley and Vickery's old man still on the pay roll FMD.
