Assistant Coaches

[No SPIN]

Any truth to the rumour that he was involved in some extra curricular activities on the Gold Coast? Something to do with sales...

if he doesn’t land another job, then you’ll have your answer.

"but our coaching seems stale and 8 years seems to be a long time on the shelf at one club "
I have never been a fan of the tattical coaching plan of Buckley or his assistants.
I feel that their plan is based on 22 all being the same with the same output and skillset.
I have never seen him or the coaching staff get the utmost from ordinary players like Malthouse was able to do.
This year is another failed year.

Most of it is wasted money anyway.

Will the fans enjoy footy less if there's 2 less assistant coaches? It's become an arms race where every club is determined to have the most coaches, and most of them are on hyper inflated wages.

Not a bad point! The game has become so nuanced, too complicated.

Crows have just poached the Eagles midfield coach to come back to the crows to coach their midfield....


That's handy.
Helps he was their old captain.

If only we could get a change with coaches in the off-season..

I hope Harvey is one of the first to go. He has been there much too long.

Yup.

Justin Leppitsch is departing richmond after 11 years.

Thats even longer. But yeah, there are some that shouldn't stay too long especially when it feels its getting stale and you need fresh people.

Snagged Burns as their senior assistant a couple of days ago too.

Yup. Not bad. Nicks finally starting to get the coaches he wants around him going forward.

A ruck coach, a ruck coach, my kingdom for a ruck coach!!!!

A ruck coach, a ruck coach, my kingdom for a ruck coach!!!!

No offence, but I’m starting to think that a ruck coach is a tad overrated.

A clearance coach is what we need. Someone who organises where the ball goes and who needs to be where.

Surely when you win 90% of taps a game you know how to use your body to get your hand on the ball. The clearance coach is the one who needs to tell him where to put it

I'd have a look at this bloke if there's any chance.

Jen, Leppitsch was coach of the Lions until 2016.

Doesn’t change the fact that Harvey has been with us forever. I’m not sure that change for change sake is always necessary. But we need a shake up and a better functioning midfield. We are wasting or at least misusing some of our talent in there.

 

[stormskye]

Seems most clubs are moving assistant coaches on, making changes.

My money is nothing will change at our club. They will blame Covid....

 

[magpies42]

I'd have a look at this bloke if there's any chance.

I thought he was retiring. We seriously need a refresh on the coaching front...looking at the midfield and ball movement coach in particular

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

Always impossible to tell from the outside looking in how assistants are impacting the team.

But Harvey has been there a long time................

 

[Roverjg]

Yup.

His time at Richmond was broken up with a coaching stint at the Lions. 3 years should be the perfect time-frame for an AC to be at a club. If an AC is still at a club after 4 years one starts to question why

He was AC at the Lions for 3 years
Then AC at Richmond for 4 years
Then coach of Lions for 3 years
Then back at Richmond for 4 years

Where is Leppitsch going?
I think that's a huge loss for Rich.

Says this.

Justin Leppitsch has informed the Club he has decided to step away from his assistant coaching role.

Leppitsch has spent the past 28 years involved as a player and coach at the elite level. He has spent eight of the past 11 years as a member of the Richmond coaching panel.

He started with Richmond in late 2009, before leaving at the completion of the 2013 season to take the senior coaching job at Brisbane. He returned to Richmond at the start of the 2017 season.

“I have always known that eventually this time would come, and I would move on and do other things in my life,” Leppitsch said.

“In many ways the current climate expedited something I have been thinking about for some time and it will help the Club manage through this difficult period.

“I am absolutely committed to Richmond for the remainder of this season and hope we can add to the success we have achieved over the past three seasons. I have loved my time at Richmond, and I am proud of what we have been able to achieve as a Club in my time here.

“Coaching and watching individuals grow as men and players is an amazing and rewarding experience. I would no doubt love to be involved in footy again at some stage in the future, but the time is right to take a break.

“It has been an honour to be a part of two successful eras at two Clubs in my 28 years of playing and coaching. The lessons I have learnt, in good times and bad, have built who I am today and give me the confidence to hit the next phase of my life with enthusiasm.”

Leppitsch to depart at season's end

So I guess he wants to do something else?

 

[JLC]

100% i would go after Leppa - even though as a player i didn't like him or the Brions.

He was worked wonders with the Richmond back line.

I just with St Kilda would come and offer Harvey a job lol

 

[Darkyprotector]

Bugger off Harvey and Sanderson then. Boyd has only just been promoted to an assistant role, so willing to give him more time.

Your spot on

I'm spewing tapping and McRae went

Tapping midfield lions
McCrae develops richmond

Employment of rivers set us back 2 years

Yeah I was dirty on Tapping leaving. Many of us were calling for him to be promoted to an assistant coach before Brisbane got their mitts on him.
