Richo had a very ordinary coaching career at St Kilda but did have winning records over Essendon (5-3), Gold Coast (5-3) and Melbourne (7-3). I expect him to provide good intel on how to beat those three sides.

    Melbourne have all too often known how to beat themselves in recent years, without any more input from Richo ?

    In my opinion Richo inherited a bog ordinary list and culture and then was handed some ordinary draft and list management decisions throughout his tenure. I suspect he is a lot better coach than his record suggests.

    Richo knows a thing or two about lists and winning cultures so this is awesome news!

    100% agree.

    Chris Scott won a flag in his first year as a coach. That was in 2011. Hasn't won a flag since.

    I'm sure he would say that he is a far better coach now though.

    In short, the list is quite relevant to a coach's record.

    Average coaches can do well with a good list. But not even JC can do well when your list is bog ordinary.

    A few clubs chased him as they did Burgess so well done to the club on getting high quality staff. The structural changes pert and mohoney have overseen have been excellent. Probably just missing a gun senior assistant that other clubs tend to have but otherwise looking set for 2020

    I am on Richo-watch for the word "positive" or 'poshitive' in Richo speak.

    I am guessing 200 times in the next 12 months.

    Richo probably is the next Ratten.

    People that take the time to read an article, then come back to DL to proclaim its a fluff piece that they weren't interested in are very strange and clearly need a hobby

    Happy to have Richo on board, if only that he knew how to beat us in recent times. I'll take the insights in to that any day of the week.

    Always intrigues me why people get wound up about stories on  club websites. By its very nature a club website is about promotion and positivity of the club. The stories will always be positive about the club. Can you imagine this piece written in any other fashion. If he had nothing positive to say the article would not exist. You go to club websites for factual information like entre times to games etc not warts and all stories about the club's chances or real injury information. E.G. AVB last year. His injury was never discussed, in fact I don't think the nature of his injury was ever listed.

    and that's why some balanced negativity on this forum is great to read. Not as though we get much press coverage anyway.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
