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

Adem Yze.

 

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.

Fluff 

(Jokes, lest you think I was being serious)

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.
