Re: Assistant Coaches

All coaches we are chasing.

And now Newman apparently.

Re: Assistant Coaches

They left for similar opportunities, nothing wrong with that. But when a team who has just played in a GFs two best options to replace them are literally a first time coach at any level!! And Webb. Well that says a lot.

All started with Monty early days who saw the writing on the wall I guess, Monty, Gia, Hansen, King, Corey even Dal who wasn?t even under the same umbrella as Bev didn?t want to work with him, all one way traffic, the one big signing we?ve had under Bev was Lade a guy who has never worked in a successful environment in a decade long coaching career.

We?ll see what happens this year, but from where I?m standing people are definitely not scrambling to work under a great coach in Bev, quite the opposite. I wonder why?

Well they were rather late/ unexpected changes to our coaching lineup after the GF and with coaches being told in August who's contracted and who's not the pool is limited.

I understand the narrative you're trying to push, but the fact that those two stayed for as long as they did, and also Smith's tenure suggests there's plenty of alternative narratives that are just as if not more reasonable than the one you've hitched your wagon to.

And that's fine. Let's see how it pans out these next few weeks.

Re: Assistant Coaches

Now that Yze is Richmond's coach, McQuallter would be worth chasing.

Michael Barlow
Stew Dew
Andrew McQualter
Brendan Lade

Not a shabby panel if you ask me.

Is that the rumour/on the list/likely to be announced?

Apparently those targeted by us, according to Vred's sources.

But they'd kick the face in of every other assistant coaching group.....providing Bevo was held in a Hannibal Lector suit and mask.

There was some talk that McQualter could stay at Richmond but that might be harder to do. We could be in the prime position to get him over. The one question mark I have on him was that apparently in his presentation he was going to run with a very similar version of the Hardwick game plan. Does that lack a bit of innovation for us?

Bevo always maintained that Hardwick copied our game plan from 2016 to win his 3 premierships.

I've said in another thread that if we think we can copy what other teams at the top have been doing these past two years then we're doomed to fail.

Every team is likely working on ways to counter the inside quick movement style Collingwood has been playing. It would take us a couple of years to get that Collingwood style of game right, and by then we'd have missed the boat.

We just need to get back to our DNA of winning the contest, whilst improving our ability to stop the exit until our list evolves to enable something else. Our success is going to be about how we stifle opposition forward thrusts across with improved full ground defence, and hopefully give our ball users more time with clean possession to move it forward.

I would say McQualter could help us with that.

Re: Assistant Coaches

Of all these coaches how many has Bevo worked with before ?

Leon? He took up a position with the Sydney academy last year, I'm guessing if he had wanted to return to Melbourne as an assistant he would have done it 12 months ago.

His kids are at school in Sydney and he didn't want to disrupt their final years if he could help it. The Sydney Academy job was a perfect fit for that reason.

Re: Assistant Coaches

I wonder if our chances of landing McQualter has increased based on this story? That's a very poorly managed process by the Tigers.

McQualter to depart Tigers on good terms despite discovering coaching call via radio


Andrew McQualter will depart Richmond on good terms despite missing out on the senior coaching job, which he first discovered via radio.

Foxfooty.com.au understands McQualter found out Adem Yze had been appointed as Richmond coach via radio on Thursday night, when veteran journalist Caroline Wilson broke the news, despite McQualter being the only other remaining candidate for the job.

While he found out from the club shortly after, the fact McQualter - the caretaker coach - was informed via radio and not Richmond marked an unfortunate end to his time at the club.

It’s understood McQualter has interest from several AFL rivals and is expected to remain in Victoria with his young family.

He has been at Richmond since the end of 2014 and was an assistant coach through Richmond’s premiership-winning run.

He finished with seven wins from 13 games as caretaker coach after Damien Hardwick’s sudden resignation midway through the season.

Yze said on Friday he would be open to McQualter staying at the club.

“If he stays, I’d love him to stay at the footy club,” Yze said.

“He’s created some strong relationships, he understands the place, so I’d have no issue with him staying around and being my right-hand man.

If he does move on - we’ll find that out in the next few days - he’ll go with our blessing and I’ll try and fill that spot.”

Richmond CEO Brendon Gale admitted McQualter was “disappointed” and that it remained to be seen where his future would lie.

How does Caro know before the candidates - that really is poor

She's got connections at the club and has often been ahead of the news.
