Really good appointment, with such a wealth of young talent, he will  be a great fit , he has a great footy mind and great footy person.

Great appointment.

I like this. If Goody falls on his sword we have a natural back up; sort of a reverse succession plan.

                         

 

 

Don’t mind it. Reeeeeeally don’t mind it!

Good to see the club on the front foot and reckon Choco will be give great guidance to some of our leaders as well as youngsters. 

Welcome!

 

Very very good get, success has followed him everywhere he has been.  Great backboard for goody and apparently is on of the best at getting talent out of individuals especially in young kids.  Not his role but hope he still has a bit to do with the playing group!

Can someone explain why everyone is so excited. Do any of you actually know what he brings?

AFL premiership coach at Port and key in developing Richmond into a premiership dynasty. Helped develop Dusty into a star and Cotchin from worst captain in the league to 3 time premiership captain? Nah his CV is rubbish ;)

Maybe you can start by enlightening us all of what he 'doesn't' bring.

The only thing missing now is to see the coaching set up to work to a common goal for the good of the Club and to get the glory of a first premiership in six decades. mark williams may prove to be the best appointement of them all.

cant wait to watch the transformation in Clarry, Kossie, Gus, LJ, Riv and Weids.

I wasn’t criticising the appointment at all just looking for some detail but I guess it’s fairly obvious 


I think even Kane Cornes will like this appointment....not that we need to pass the Kane test but he is a big wrap for Williams.

 Best news of the season so far. Great get, he knows his stuff inside and out. 
 

Good insurance too if Goodwin doesn’t perform again next season. Would be happy to see him in the top job if the opportunity arises.

Have you forgotten Yze? I sure he has come on board with the view to coach us in a year or two.


This is a very, very good get by the club.

Well done Pert and co.

 

We have a former premiership coach coming in as an assistant coach specialised the area where he has perhaps even better reputation than as a head coach?

Well, I'll be darned.

Burgess, Yze, Williams...  we are not messing around when it comes to securing footy department people to fill specific identified needs.

Is his nickname still Choco and is that in anyway referencing his complexion?

Just a straight answer here please. I don't want to derail the bloody thread..

No mate but Williams is a premiership winning coach and a good track record m developing players. 
 

Cant beat that. 
 

I like Yze but I really am not in favour of another rookie coach.

Both great appointments but Williams has more runs on the board. If i had to choose between the 2 i'd choose Chocco.


As I heard from the horses mouth, Chocco came asking for a job in 2019 and was knocked back. Good to have him where he clearly wants to be.

Given how bad our player development has been this is a great appointment imo.

  • REPORT: Richmond

    The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

  • CASEY: Richmond

    The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

  • POSTGAME: Richmond

    After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
