[THE BOY BEAV]

if danny frawley was given the flick at the end of the year
who would you get as replacement from the coaches who dont have a current afl coaching job?????
harvey?
odonell?
wallace?
eade?
knights?
bond?
libba-that was a joke
interesting to who you think would do the job.

 

[dicko]

Ive heard he is on his way

Heard on Perth Radio this morning that Danny will not be at Richmond by the end of the season and that Harvey will be the next coach


Dicko

 

[Capt_Softserve]

I am big fan of Wallace, I would like to see him as coach. Perhaps he can bring Libba along with him, the way I fee about Bowden at the moment, I would like to see Libba scratch his eyes out

LOL

 

[Carlos]

Robert Walls?


Ok, that wasn't funny.

 

[peejay]

It wasn't funny when we appointed him.

Gets a grin now though.

 

[TheFoxhat]

Here's a new person to through into the mix Craig Lambert...
Leigh Matthews offsider .....At least he was a TIGER....

What do you reckon????????

 

[Weaver]

Terry Wallace - Too expensive. Also very intellegent and outspoken and would be seen as too big an ego for Miller and Casey to handle. Wallace also plays a game-plan based on small light bodied wingmen which is futile. Can't get value from key position players and has made some appalling trades. Also had a bad experience at Richmond. To go from our current list to one that could play Wallace's style could take 3-4 years.

Rod Eade - Game plan based on flooding. Lost the players at the Swans and, like Walls, is primarily focused on tinkering with tactics and has poor people skills. More likely than Wallace. Eade was an assistant at North and so will be known to Miller.

Mark Harvey - Would be a surprise. He was famed as one of the hard-drinking, hard-living, knock-a-bout guys. The kind who could drink to 3am on the morning of the match, stagger into the changeroom and still play good footy. I don't think he has really played down his cheeky larrikan image and would be a strange choice as a senior coach. I don't think he could our players back on the straight and narrow.

Chris Bond - Interesting one. Probably not ready yet, but has experience with Fremantle and the Dogs and unlike some assistants has actually coached a team (Werribee). Also intellegent and has good character. Knows Richmond. Probably needs 2-3 more years experience.

Gary O'Donnell - Leading candidate. Experience at Essendon and Brisbane. Highly thought after, very intellegent. It is the right time for him to look at coaching. Feeling is that he has been a bit shy in putting his name forward. I also like that he was a guy without heaps of talent who made good through his footy smarts.

 

[Tiger_Of_Old]

my money would be on o'donnell.
he SHOULD be our no1 target.

cheers!

It must be pointed out that Wallace exacts a high level of skill from his charges - something that must be considered a point in his favour!

I get the feeling that Wallace is smart enough a coach to work with the list he has got. A lot of the light - bodies that the Bulldogs had came from the recruiting work done by Scott Clayton who was following the same pattern he did at Brisbane.

I will leave it up to the more cynical of you here to speculate why the Brisbane players all seem to be bigger bodied than everyone else. Not unlike West Coast of the early '90's.

Like Wallace, is able to drill players skills to a high level and is also very tactically sharp. Did have a long stint at Sydney but ended up becoming stale with the players. Not exactly Robinson Crusoe there!

Question is: Did he learn from his mistakes at Sydney? If it can be demonstrated that he did than he may be a good candidate.

Mark Harvey - Would be a surprise. He was famed as one of the hard-drinking, hard-living, knock-a-bout guys.

Agree! Further to this, he has never been outside of the Essendon fold and lacks perspective that would be ideal in a prospective Rookie coach.


Chris Bond - Interesting one. Probably not ready yet, but has experience with Fremantle and the Dogs and unlike some assistants has actually coached a team (Werribee). Also intellegent and has good character. Knows Richmond. Probably needs 2-3 more years experience.

Has never played in or been involved in a premiership as a player or as part of a coaching panel. Would be dubious.

Gary O'Donnell - Leading candidate. Experience at Essendon and Brisbane. Highly thought after, very intellegent. It is the right time for him to look at coaching. Feeling is that he has been a bit shy in putting his name forward. I also like that he was a guy without heaps of talent who made good through his footy smarts.

Agree!

Another name not mentioned is Terry Daniher. He has played in premierships, taken time to go back to the bush to coach some premierhips, back to Essendon for another stint with another premiership and then to Collingwood where he has been involved in developing the list to the point of a Grand Final berth.

As much a leading candidate of the rookies as O'Donnell!

 

[Capt_Softserve]

We need to go with a proven coach, Terry Wallace is the best available coach out there, should not even think twice, we must grab him, or else we will have a another season like the one we just did

 

[CaptainCustard]

Wouldn't trust a coach who walks out on his club, a la Wallace.

O'Donnell for me.

Also, I can't remember much about when Wallace was at Richmond, but i remember he didn't have much good to say about the club at the time - why would he want to coach Richmond is what I'm asking - would his heart be in it if he had a bad experience there while he was a player.

 

[Portia]

Phil Walsh would be a smokey. Ex-Tiger, currently the forward line assistant coach for Port - Choco is always giving him wraps.

 

[Showbag]

I'll always cherish the memory of Gary O'Donnell in the 1995 Semi-Final.

I just can't see him as our senior coach. We knocked his brains out that day.

Good point.

I'd hope that O'Donnell turns out better than Walls. He was a joke.

Personally, I like Mark Harvey.

Never had a problem with Wallace's decision to leave the Bulldogs - it was done entirely on principle.

As for his time at the Tigers - he readily admitted in an interview that it was his fault it didn't work out. He was still bitter about being dumped by Hawthorn and didn't give himself the best chance of succeeding at Richmond.

After being also dumped by Richmond, he realised he was on his last chance at the Bulldogs.

I have spoken to Terry Wallace over a few beers one night. He was extremely bitter over contractual problems with Richmond. He made no mention of the problems with Hawthorn.

The public explanation was that after KB left him out of a pre season game - we also had a few injured, Wallace said that that told him the we did not think he was in the best 25 or 26 at the club. He could not handle this thought and walked out.

He only came over to get some of the money he thought Alan Bond was bringing to the club.

On Wallace, do not like the way he comes across and think he has baggage (ie dogs, media profile) that Richmond would do best to avoid.

My vote at present would be for O'Donnell. Credentials include:

- Intelligent (a most important criteria, & don't laugh I'm serious)
- Ex captain of a successfull club
- Ex premiership player
- Part of the winning premiership coaching team last two years
- Tutelage under Matthews
- No baggage

On the negative side, possibly a bit soft unlike the likes of Matthews & Worsfold.

 

[Crumden]

We need a messiah to take us to the promised land, not a mere coach. We should go all out to bring Sheeds home. Otherwise bring back Tommy.
