Seeing that this war chest that we supposidly have as in part due to the FTF fund caused some angst with some posters.
Where do you think the money should be directed to?
*An Elite free agent like Fyfe,Dangerfield,Frawley etc
or
*A proven coach like Lyon,Longmire Or Clarkson.
(Not saying Dimma can't coach,Just don't think he can change our culture)

Coach or coaching staff. We will just be repeating the mistakes of carlton and daisy thomas if we go for a good player to try and wave his wand and make eveything better.

Also i'll feel really bad if a good player like fyfe comes to tigerland, it'll probably destroy his career.

Any player really.:D
 
Good question.

I'm in the development coach camp. I was disappointed that Leppisch wasn't properly replaced. I think the best value we'll get for our money is bringing in one or two great assistant coaches.

Have the club said why he wasn't replaced?

Not really - “We’ll not directly replace him (Leppitsch). We felt as though we’ve got good experience in our coaching group and, certainly with Mark ‘Choco’ Williams coming in this time last year, that added to that,” said Richmond’s General Manager of Football, Dan Richardson, on ‘Trade Radio’.

What happened next was some deck-chair shuffling, and the hiring of a few recently retired guys, in McQualter and Bailey.

I have no specific problem with the current coaching panel (http://www.richmondfc.com.au/season/coaches), and I'm not calling for anyone's head. I just want to see more guys that have been part of AFL premiership coaching teams added to the list.
 
I pretty much agree RunningBounce , I would back the club and Dimma on any staff changes(coaches). But I don't think you can have too much quality in your coaching ranks. I'm hoping the club held off from replacing Leppa because they really wanted to do their homework on a top quality replacement...
 
I think our biggest problem is we seem pretty weak off the field (Our fitness levels don't seem on par to other teams, our leadership group probably don't do enough, we have looked like we don't have functional forward/backlines/midfields at different times this year; so in saying that, I would love to see the club invest in getting a few PROVEN and high quality people into the club to help out.

That guy who we wanted as our fitness manager but opted for Port has just become the highest paid high performance manager in the game I believe. If you want to be the best, you need to surround the best talent with the best support staff.

The cap goes up by about $500k next season with the likely list changes that should give us a decent amount to splurge on players be they free agents or traded for. We should, with the FTF and Giving 110%, also have money to splurge on off field staff. So like I said why can't we have both.

God I hope so, it's been a glaring hole this season.
 
Cevap_Roll show me the money !!! Oh you....:oops:.

Yep that's what I'm talking about !!!!
 
there is no warchest, our warchest is what every other club has - an extra 500k in the cap - we are close to 100% of the cap
