Coach 2024 Coaching Structure – McQualter replacing Yze

[Bluelegs]

It feels like he Bradbury'd that award!

Feels like all of our players stagnated or went backwards this year (Rivers being the exception)

When I think of development I think of improvement in younger players. Outside of Rivers and McVee, who else really developed? Chandler maybe...

You look at a team like Hawthorn or Giants where youth really announced themselves. Hard to agree we had the best development in the comp.

 

[Crusty Demon]

I wish he'd go back to coaching. Not much chop in the media tbh

 

[Lord Nev]

Thought we might have been a shot for Barlow.

McQualter rumoured to be off to Gold Coast.

Seems quiet on the assistant front for us atm.

 

[BaliDemon]

McQualter officially quits Tigers. No mention of Suns link.

Seems weird that they'd post this at 10:30pm...

Yeah, this appointment does nothing for me.

Why? He's highly rated as an assistant, and I'd argue he's just about the best candidate that's currently on the market.

Just seems safe and boring, just like Goody.

did you have someone in mind?

did you have someone in mind?

No. So my opinion is pretty invalid without offering an alternative. I guess I just feel we need someone who is going to shake things up a little, not someone who is going to be a yes man to Goody.

It's hard to know how the coaching team works unless one of them starts a BF account and gives us the intel. We'll find out next year if we start playing any different what sort of impacts the change might be making.

If the Harmes comments are true , along the lines of Yze wanted to be more attacking but Goodwin pulled him back , I am surprised so little has been made of it . Also good luck getting a game in the seniors next year Harmes .

 

[Toump Ass]

A lot of decent head coaches have come out of Richmond I think, maybe even the ******* who just won a flag.
Happy to have him.

Yze struck me as a bit of a moron personally.

 

[pjfairbairn]

I'm pleased with the appointment, seemed highly rated to get down to the last two at Richmond and players said good things about him while he was in the caretaker role. The key, as always, will be whether Goodwin lets him actually coach

 

[Lord Nev]

Sounds like someone we could/should approach perhaps?
