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.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
