Brendan Lade's work.

[rfctigerarmy]

Very, very nice so far.

Gus has been playing very well and Vicks looks better nearly every week. Browne also stepping it up at Coburg the last few weeks and almost pressing for a spot now.

I know I did a thread of Gus and Vicks a few weeks back, but I think Brendan Lade is doing an amazing job considering what we've got to work with.

hmm, almost seems novel for a development coach at RFC to actually develop talent, Lade, Leppa and Cambo have done an excellant job to date in improvement across the board.

I understand Lade and Cambo are midfield coaches

Yep, the evidence is all there.
It isn't coincidental that all 3 rucks have clearly improved since Lade got hold of them....and will improve even more. Big Browney has been superb last few weeks for the Burgers, Vickery looks like he's learning from each game and Gus looks like he'll be an excellent player.

Top 8 contenders will be shittin themselves having to play us as finals time approaches.

GO TIGER!

I reckon Danny Daly deserves a pat on the back, too.

This ^^^^^^^^

It’s probably been discussed here before, but while the topic is up, thought I’d ask.

What are Daly’s credentials?

Don’t get me wrong, this isn’t a “the bloke’s not a household name, how’d he get a job coaching?” question, if he’s good enough for Hardwick, he’s good enough for me. I’m just curious to know where he’s come from.

 

[Danog]

He came from North.

 

[Grockadoc]

was Norths development coach if memory serves me correctly.

 

[Bazzar]

Also apart from Lade, Leppa and Daly, Cambo also deserves a massive pat on the back, as our mid field has been sensational.


This thread was on Daly from late last year.

Yep, the tigers have done very well since they got Lade.

 

[coke_zero]

I assume Simmonds is still helping out in the ruck so he has played a small part in this. But Gus and Vicks look alot better running around the ground and collecting the ball and getting it off than last year and earlier in the year.

Sure does, before he joined Richmond I had no idea who this guy was and was wondering why Hardwick hired him.

Our forward line is looking good now.

It comes as no surprise to me that Ladey has had a positive effect on our young rucks. A former All-Australian, premiership ruckman who worked hard his whole career to become one of the competitions elite big men. Hardwick has really gathered a great support staff around him, with Leppa and Ladey, both were winners, both were as hard (nasty if you like!) as hell and had reputations for being hard workers, just like Dimma. These are the type of guys you want around a young impressionable list.
Ladey is a HUGE improvement on that plodder Monkhurst, and I'm so glad that we don't see that donkey and his toothless grin around punt road anymore.

 

[the ranger]

I despised Monkhurst as a player and could never get comfortable with him working at the club. Lade definitely a massive improvement. Leppitsch obviously a coup signing, Cambo was a great player and Richmond man..and Danny Daly as the wildcard. Love it.

I understand Lade and Cambo are midfield coaches

From what I gather, Lade and Cambo are mid coaches with lade obviously leaning to the Ruck and Cambo to the mids on training days. But on match day, Lade is Ruck/midfield and Cambo is Dimmas main assistant who calls the shots from the box.

 

[ata33cro]

I didnt know that Cambo was the main assistant during match day. I am surprised, he is doing a great job.

 

[CoggaRules]

Lets hope the tigers keep him and the eagles dont get him, because they will end up with big cox getting lade.
