The shake-up at Richmond has begun with five assistant coaches expunged from their regular roles in the club's end-of-season reviews and strongly encouraged to seek opportunities elsewhere.
Port Adelaide premiership coach Mark Williams, Ross Smith, Brendon Lade, former Carlton and Footscray player Mark P. Williams and forwards coach Greg Mellor were not required to report for work at Tigerland on Monday. All five are out of contract.
First major changes at Richmond for the off season.
