Diamond_Jim 12,775 Posted August 23, 2019 Posted August 23, 2019 I'd prefer Scott of the NM variety... say what you will but he maximised the output from a less than star studded playing group. Suspect he's hanging out for Freo or maybe even one of the SA jobs Quote

Bring-Back-Powell 15,556 Posted August 23, 2019 Posted August 23, 2019 Excellent. He can bring his IP over on how to beat Melbourne. Richo owned us over his coaching career. 7 1 Quote
Diamond_Jim 12,775 Posted August 23, 2019 Posted August 23, 2019 underwhelmed but perhaps he'll be decent in the caretaker role post bye next year. Yep MFCSS is my mantra Seriously though what benefit does a sacked coach bring to a dysfunctional playing group. He comes with no authority or credibility. It has echoes of Mc Cartney which didn't end well. Mind you he was pretty good at outcoaching Goodwin on so many occasions. Just shows really how shallow the professional pool is. Quote
Lucifers Hero 40,741 Posted August 23, 2019 Posted August 23, 2019 "The 54-year-old will be able to offer strong support to Simon Goodwin and help the growth of the whole coaching team". Meh! Hardly a track record in this capacity. Underwhelmed. 1 Quote
Sir Why You Little 37,459 Posted August 23, 2019 Posted August 23, 2019 Top Bloke Richo But will be fascinated to find out what he is going to do.... i am still trying to sort out what Neil Craig did 2 1 Quote

Tony Tea 2,816 Posted August 23, 2019 Posted August 23, 2019 A good pick, or so I thought until I read that the only two Victorian clubs Richo has not been involved with are Geelong and Hawthorn. 1 1 Quote
DubDee 26,682 Posted August 23, 2019 Posted August 23, 2019 Interesting one. 6 seasons with the saints and zero finals. 34% win record certainly won't be much of a tactical or coaching mentor for Goody (that he desperately needs) so you can only assume he will be in a development role? Quote

Lord Nev 13,512 Posted August 23, 2019 Posted August 23, 2019 (edited) Like it. Has good development type experience, highly rated in footy circles and will provide a settled, wise head and experience to a coaching group sorely needing it. Taking it in the context as the first step of many this offseason I think it's a good move. Edit - Actually, second step after Burgess. Edited August 23, 2019 by Lord Nev 7 Quote

Richo has a great reputation, will provide wise council and its the first of an overhaul. 8 Quote
Cheap Seats 3,310 Posted August 23, 2019 Posted August 23, 2019 My gut feel is Richo already had a relationship with Burgess at Port. I am not 100% sure of the strategy here - but my gut feeling again is the strategy is based around a similar one to which Burgess and Richo have done in the past. Interesting times ahead - I hope the boys like running 5 Quote
