[Snake Charmer]

Was mentioned in the age article that Truck would could replace Worsfold in a succession plan.

Nice, I didn't see the article. Sounds like we have poached a good one

Yeah Tigers didn’t want to lose him

I think he has ambitions to be senior coach from all reports he’s pretty good tactically.

 

[DERO]

‘Hey guys, stop kicking it to the Richmond defenders’. I’ll be at home if you need anymore coaching.

HIRE THIS MAN

 

[vast]

HIRE THIS MAN

And kick it to Green instead.

 

[tha Freak]

Going to be good to see how we look next year with their Defensive coach, Rutten, and our attacking fwds, Big Joe/Stringer, plus hopefully a new quality mid (Shiel).

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Richmonds defence+plus our attacking style could make us a pretty unstoappble team next season

 

[Jesse Custer]

He'll bring inside information on Richmond, help us bring them down.

 

[Fin ice Smuggler]

I feel we really need to work on our transition defence. We are always extremely vulnerable when we turn the ball over.

Agree, our team transition into defensive structure after we give up the ball is poor. The tigers attack in numbers when they have the ball but are the best in transition hence why they’re probably going to go back to back.

I thought our backline was fine after Neeld left, it’s the midfield/forwards transition that needs improvement to be a top 4 team next year.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

So Rutten officaly out of Richmond after tonight.

Welcome to Essendon Ben Rutten.

 

[fishardansin]

Was he their defensive coach? Can we change our minds?

 

[Old Stuckup]

He’s not to blame for the basic skill errors that the Richmond backline made at times.

 

[Old Campaigner]

We should 100% trade him as we never know what we could get!!!!!!

Looks like Ricky Dyson is returning to the club as VFL staff. Assume it's in a coaching role.

Maybe GM. Ash Brown has been there a while and it's a high turnover role.

Dodo strikes again. Looks like we'll be coupling him with a third rounder to secure Shiel.

Rutten’s role will include overseeing the entire team’s defensive output, while continuing to develop the side’s strong brigade of key-position players.

“I’m going to be looking after the team’s defence and also going to be spending some time with the key-position players – not only the defenders, but also the forwards as well – and hopefully get some growth out of them,” he said.

“Mark Harvey’s still going to be working with the defenders, but I’ll be looking at the team’s overall defence starting from the full-forward line right through to the last line of our defence.”

Looks like Neeld's role has been replaced with a 'team defence/KPP' coach.

Harvey still the line coach for defence, this guy is looking at the whole team's defending.

Mind you. I think that is something we have struggled at. I recall ant555 in particular bringing it up. If he can get it working I think it will be a big help
