Coach Rumours?

[Maybenextyear]

I got this from someone that has a connection inside the club (Yeah , same old story) but he was told that Tony Free is keen on having Nathan Buckley as our next coach. Has anyone else heard anything along these lines?

I could've sworn I read somewhere about starting threads about unsourced rumors....

Well that's great , yes or no would have been better.

Seeing as there are going to be all sorts of rumour threads being created while the drama with Wallace unfolds, it would be appreciated if posters could confine their rumours to this thread.

Exactly right jackson rules. It may be crap but if more people have heard a whisper there maybe a little truth mixed in.

It wouldnt be news to anyone that Richmond is keen on Nathan Buckley

I would expect them to go with the flow a bit when it comes down to prospective coaches so Free and others would be keen on all the populars.

I could never see us going outside the box on a coach so guys like Buckley and Hardwick will be top of the queue.

Who though wants to sit on the recruitment over the last five years and be accountable for it.

Id more interested in what advice Buckley is getting from people in regards to the Richmond job. Would you want him if it was because Collingwood wasnt available. If Mick was given another year Bucks would wait it out.

I'd like to say that I don't agree that stickying a thread like this and therefore putting it under lights is good for this board and basically encourages people to makes up rumours to get noticed as it seems they can be baseless.

But anyway . . . . carry on, I'm possibly in the minority on this.

Fair point really, but the alternative is have a new thread pop up everyday when the Herald names a new name as potential coach.

Ive heard everything from Bucks to Sheeds to Matthews, waiting for Malcom Blights name to pop up. Surely he is too long out of the coaching game?

Gary Ayres has thrown his hat into the ring by admitting in the Age that if the Richmond job was to become available he would apply for it.

At least we have people wanting the job, not like Frawley getting it because no-one else wanted it.

Might have something to do with the last 2 coaches being given 5 years each, these blokes might just be looking for a pension plan.

IMO whoever does get it should be given 2 years with an option for 2 more.

I'm pretty sure I did'nt make this up to "get noticed" on a bigfooty board. God help me if that was my aim in life. If you don't like it don't contribute or read the thread.

But anyway.....get lost , you are the minority.
