According to Heraldsun Choco wants the Melbourne job and we also look likely to lose Wayne Campbell to the Dogs as their new head of football.
Crap and crap.

It could be seen as a good thing. Well ran football clubs are always being raided by other clubs for their personel. It is a compliment to our football department that other clubs come looking for our guys.
yeah but still, f**k those clubs!

I agree but how long is it since its our guys who have been the hunted? Says to me the club are doing all the right things, and in line with that I would trust them to find quality replacements.

Is this the Caro article? As far as I am aware, I haven't heard anything from Choco in relation to the Melbourne job.

this evenings interesting developments, and surprisingly it wasn't carro inside info...
Chocco is a no brainer for the Dees job - Prememiership coach, strong personaility, good with the media, track record with developing youth.
Don't want to see him go, but couldn't blame him for leaving to be the top dog again!

Didn't read his brother actually saying he felt under used... Could be the opinion of the journo... His brothers comment was that he could certainly do more.

Well, lets just hope Roos or Eade are ahead of him the priorities of the MFC. I doubt it though. Mark Williams will be #2 behind Roos.

While I have been a strong supporter of Choco staying at Richmond (and yes I know his past record) I don't believe Choco is Senior Coach material anymore. He is ideally suited for mentoring now. Not the massive, current, modern job of analysing, coaching and directing an entire playing list.
Melbourne and Choco would implode into one tiny, ugly speck and become another mess in Melbourne's current history.
I wish him luck, but Melbourne would go nowhere under Choco and all Choco would receive from Melbourne is a bunch of Red & Blue ulcers.

He's an assistant coach, with a fairly minor , but public, role here - 'Development'. He gets a lot of press because 'Ex-Premiership Coach' always makes a good newspaper article. he's always going to get written about more than the Geelong non-entity in charge of their 'Young Player Development' (who incidentally, seems to be doing a good job, too, based on results).
If we give Williams credit for Vlastuin and Ellis, we have to weigh that against Griffiths and Elton.
Obviously, it is better to keep him (he's only been here a short time, and stability is important) - but that will also depend on how much we re paying him - we have a limited Football department budget, and he may be taking up a fair chunk of that. Alternatively, we could have got him cheap because he wanted to keep his name up front for any senior position. He obviously wanted the GWS role, he would love to go back to Port Adelaide, and I reckon he secretly covets the Collingwood job.
He's good for our club, so we should get the most out of him while we can. It certainly won't be forever (unless Hardwick fails, and Williams takes over).

It most cases I reckon it looks like poaching, but it's worth remembering that these guys want larger roles/more cash/more importance. They want better jobs. You can't hold them back from those if you can't offer them one.

With Choco, I've signed the petition and don't want him to go.
But we were always going to be a stopover, it was just a matter of how long.
Not only Melbourne, but Brisbane and West Coast jobs might open up as well.
With Wocka, he wants to be a footy manager and we'd wish him well in this.
But think we have a beauty in Dan Richardson.

Lets be honest, we were very lucky to score Choco in the first place and everyone knows he's a better coach than most of the guys with senior jobs now. The positive thing is, with the way we are going and heading there may very well be experienced guys out there happy to move into Choco or Campbell's jobs if they leave
Out of interest, what's Sheedy doing when he finishes at GWS? Is that this year?

would be surprised to see Campbell leave Richmond now. And please don't go choco!

Spoke to him last week mate, told me that I have a good hairstyle, unlike that Bazzar bloke
But in all seriousness, until we hear directly from him via a club interview or any other media source, then we shouldn't jump to conclusions about where he is or isn't heading.
It will all come out in the wash soon, it's getting exciting down at Richmond, maybe he may want to stick around for the ride.

Don't look at the negatives people.
Look at the positives.
This time 5 years ago, no club in the land would have wanted any of our football department staff members, or even players for that matter.
Signs we are becoming a powerhouse again.

time to return the traditional Richmond yellow
If this is the case I'd be happy with Knights and Ling as replacements.
