List 5 coaches in order you would like to See Richmond get if the 'Wallace' plan does not work out. Discuss? Keep in mind Voss will probably be gone.

Mine are (Defensive minded coaches) :thumbsu:

1. Peter Jonas
2. Gary O'Donnell
3. John Blakey
4. John Longmire
5. Shaun Rehn / Alastair Lynch

It's a bit early to start talking about this. Richmonds list was a complete shambles two years ago and has improved since. I have a feeling that we may not do as well this year as the previous year, but sometimes you have to take a step back in order to progress.
Let Wallace finish his five years and look at the list and direction and then decide if we need to change coach.

By then Voss would be definately gone. If Hawthorn change coach, I think we would be the perfect fit for them.
 
I think it would be better to focus on our hiring of assistants. We keep bringing in guys who have no coaching background. How much support can they add to Wallace? Should we essentially hand out coaching apprenticeships or at the stage we are at would we benefit more from experienced guys working with the kids?

Brain Royal is a veteran of course.

However King, McRae and Rawlings have never coached a team of their own (McRae had the 'team' that was the part-time QLD under-18 squad). None has more that 2 years experience.

Contrast that to most other clubs and it is an area where we are a long way behind. It is tough to get improvement out of kids when the coaches are still learning how to be teachers.

Have 1 apprentice by all means but 3?
