Coaching Changes - 2015

[TigerImposter]

Jack just said on a footy show on Ch31 that the one other coach he'd love to play under is Ross Lyon

Jack is a very smart man , but I've known that for a long time . Even when he was a young buck playing for the Coburg Tigers his football knowledge and leadership stood out

This is probably a weird one but several times this year watching Tigers games I have thought it would be a cool idea if they got a judo instructor as a tackling coach. Basically just teach them how to lock up opponents arms so they can't handball and force the illegal disposal..

judo or sumo?

Mrs Bennell

As tackeling coach or......?

She can sit on Dimma's knee match day if it helps us land her son.

No doubt Hardwick has done a great job, but he has now made his bed. He doesn't deserve to be frog-marched, but nothing short of a premiership in 2016 will make me want him re-signed.

Let him play out the 2016 season. He doesn't know how to do a half-arsed job, so it won't be a wasted season.

In the meantime, start the process to get the next senior coach today, planning for a new coach to take the reins October 1, 2016. It's cold and ruthless, but that's the way things are for senior AFL coaches.

 

[captain cotch 9]

Newman to replace Bailey?

 

[Tiger71]

No probs, I think as an old fart too you both have valid points, I don't believe that Hardwick is the answer, but I have nfi who we should consider , but it certainly isn't Lyon,

Agree. We should throw everything at a innovative coach who has proven GF success. IMO if we were ruthless we should be now throwing the kitchen sink at A Clarkson to see if we can pry him lose.

 

[Tiger71]

Newman to replace Bailey?

God I hope not. Newman needs exposure to another club and we need someone to lift the standards not maintain them.

The only coach that we should/would replace Hardwick with is Clarkson.
And IMO Clarkson will just retire than go to another club.
The club has come so far under Hardwick. We where a joke when he started. It has taken 4-5 years to get the list into a position that we can actually compete.
If I was president I'd give him another 2 years and tell him to win a flag or GTFO.
The players love him and play for him. That also has to count for something.

As others have said why not set the target as a prelim final, bit harsh to be Premiership or bust as there are so many variables but we are good enough to at least make the prelim, also top 4 should be our minimum goal for the H&A season, removing the pressure of another elimination final.

But even then it would be silly to replace him with anyone that hasn't achieved at least a flag, those calling for Ross Lyon I just cant understand, he is a good coach obviously but the last thing a club like Richmond needs is someone with baggage hanging over them and Ross has this with his repeated failures to win the big one even when he has had the better team on the day, as he did with St Kilda.

Bit harsh? To strive for a flag is what we should be doing, to win a final should be a major KPIs , at the moment the kpi is make finals, get lots of members, they have not come out and said in their last five year plan that the aim was a flag, it was all about making finals and getting members

Obviously our target has to be win a flag that should be every year no matter where we finish, I was responding to the comment "but nothing short of a premiership in 2016 will make me want him re-signed.", but what if we made a GF and lose do we sack Dimma and start over again, that's what I meant by a bit harsh?

I won't be renewing my membership until someone from the club calls me.... then I will be asking for a coaching staff member to contact me and answer why our tackling has been shit for 6 years, and why our coach does not want to do anything about it.

He'd rather go to the U.S on a useless junket.

Geez I'm gonna tear into this club and Dimma. Weak as piss!!!!!!!

 

[wegetpumped]

Which one surely we have more then one by now?

Didn't you get the members survey and tell them everything is hunky dory and you thought the club was doing such a great job etc etcetc

 

[the push up king]

Some sort of tackling coach or a new assistant coach that values the importance of tackling would be good.

I don't believe our tackling has got any better in 6 years, which is a bloody disgrace.

North got to a prelim on the back of it. Swans into 4th on the back of it. If we want to win finals it has to improve a hell of a lot.

Agree, a part time role for a recently retired storm player?

If your financial support of the club is dependant on you having the chance to verbally abuse a staffer, farewell and good luck with norf

Will never happen. Clarkson and Dimma are friends and clarkson strikes me as a VERY loyal man not driven by money. Doubt he'd coach a team after his mate has been sacked for him.

So by him wanting answers from the club he has become an abuser? Just like i was called when i had that punt road incident earlier in the year which i got an answer and accepted and it was the end of. An abuser is someone that abuses and in turn doesn't get abused back lol.

This i know we're impatient but so was Geelong under Thompson or Hawthorn under Clarko.. we're so close its not funny and we will remain this close for the next 2 or 3 years.

Well what kind of discussion would it be?

The staffer cannot say anything confidential, and the staffer just has to take what ever is given to them without biting the bait

It was clear he just wanted to yell at a coach, and that's pretty pathetic

From what i read he just wanted some answers but like you say i wouldn't waste my breath as like you say you won't get anything out of them. But calling him an abuser well that's abusing bf privileges.
