2024 Richmond Coach

The best thing happened on thurzdey night, McQuack Quack lost any chance of getting the job.
We need someone who can make moves during games, a bloke that will drop blokes not performing and most importantly have a plan B.
We fked up badd, we should've been now going into the McCrae era, but we waited 1 yr to long.
McCrae was the stand out.
Now we end up with a bloke the supporters will dislike from the start.
Adam Yze please No
Gia back to the early 90"s

I would go Carr. Played angry hopefully coaches angry.

Its a nothing story.

There is zero chance Grigg...he isn't ready for senior job. Would do well to go and coach Cats VFL for a few years.

IMO the industry has moved away from appointing guys too early and will look to the McCrae model of coaching your own team and potentially coaching under different programs. In this context Josh Carr is the perfect candidate. 2nd stint at Port as assistant, coached Nth Adelaide SANFL for 4 season including a premiership and a shirt stint during COVID at Freo.

Was listening to Bucks on the radio this morning. Very impressed - more than ever before.

He has only ever done Collingwood. Somewhere new may completely unshackle him. Superbly qualified. Was the first time I actually thought, mmm. maybe..

ps. Steve Morris is very, very impressive when he speaks after games
 
Richmond is about to move to the next stage of its coaching search with an interview process for aspirants which will see Andrew McQualter committing to the entire multi-step process.

The club’s football department and board have refined the criteria for their next coach after a series of meetings since Damien Hardwick walked away on May 22.

Chief executive Brendon Gale indicated recently the club would likely replace McQualter with a first-time coach given the trend that has seen only Mick Malthouse win a premiership in the last 20 years as a coach with previous senior experience.

In coming weeks, the club will start interviewing coaches after throwing open the job to those who are interested in applying, but will also make contact with specific candidates it feels could be perfect for the role.

McQualter has confirmed he is keen to be part of the process after a five-game stretch that has him boasting three wins and a fighting 10-point loss over Port Adelaide but also Richmond’s heaviest defeat since 2016, to Brisbane.

He and football boss Tim Livingstone have agreed he would be part of the full process – usually multiple interviews, psychological profiles and exhaustive presentations – rather than be fast-tracked to a final interview.

McQualter’s first step as Richmond’s interim coach was to ask the senior players if they believed the current game-plan needed an overhaul.

They made clear it was working, so while he has made subtle tweaks, his presentation would involve how he saw the game plan evolving in the future under the current list’s needs and future game trends.

Melbourne’s Adem Yze and Troy Chaplin, Sydney’s Don Pyke and Dean Cox, Carlton’s Ash Hansen, Essendon’s Daniel Giansiracusa, Port Adelaide’s Josh Carr, St Kilda’s Corey Enright and Collingwood’s Justin Leppitsch could be part of that process.

Richmond premiership player Shaun Grigg, now a Geelong assistant, could be a wildcard despite only four years as an assistant.

The last six premierships have been won by coaches appointed with four or less years of experience as an assistant before they were appointed, in 37-year-old Hardwick and 38-year-old Adam Simpson and Simon Goodwin.

Goodwin was appointed Paul Roos’ successor after four years experience at 39 years of age.

Richmond CEO Brendon Gale said last month he did not believe the Tigers needed to poach a rival coach, with Ken Hinkley the obvious candidate if Richmond went down that track.

“My own intuition is that the need to get a premiership coach is a bit of a myth. It worked for Eddie (McGuire) and Mick but one of the great things about Damien was he was a smart coach and had great potential but he was able to grow with the team. That is a pretty important consideration. Damien really evolved and changed with the way you coach elite sport and it’s a matter of looking at the market and seeing which candidates might be attracted to the job at Richmond and we think it’s many.”

Looks like they're going about things the right way, with every applicant going through the complete process. Do this and I'll be happy with whoever the club selects.

True. but did Hardwick's development cost us greater success? 2013. 2014. 2015 and the howler that was 2016 - were they wasted years? Personally I don't think we could have jumped as rapidly as we did without the influx of Prestia, Nank and Caddy in 2017 - they completed the whole mix and complimented the change of game plan. But we certainly wasted 2016 and should have been top 6

Yep copy and paste from HS. Not sure if that was the intention or poor editing but thought strange myself. Gut feel it was copied over from a previous article that ould have referred to Hardwick. Lazy reporting and editing

Rabble with kids in 2010, slow rise from 2011 to 2015 including finals from his 4th year, sudden fall in 2016 made he and captain of club (Chimp) go through a reality check and from 2017 it's been success. You need a lot of honesty, transparency and cohesion for a team to succeed.

Being under Ralph Malph's name, I agree with you.....unless he used a 12 year old ghost writer.

Pre 2010 we had some some young future superstars on the list like Cotch, Dusty, Jack and Rance. At the moment we only have Bolton, Balta and not much else.
