We have apparently spoken to McQ. I assume they have also reached out to Dew.

I reckon either would be good

    I reckon McQualter had quite a bit to do with Richmonds success and would be an asset.

    I didn't realise McQaulter had spent 10 years at Richmond..

    I'm sold.

    There's the odd outlier, I know, but I presume most of us want Goodwin, Williams and Richardson, at least, to stay 'happy in the service'.

    So, which of the names put forward so far in this thread do you think would provide the best chemistry (while of course also providing the best input)?

    For mine, I suspect it would be someone 'coming through', not an ego.

    What did Yze do? Was he the strategist as well as the ingame "coach". If so we need more than a midfield coach.

    Chris Newman is moving from Hawthorn to Richmond as Assistant Coach, that probably confirms McQualter is on the move.

    Any news on Stafford on the move? Been with us for 10 years and it’s probably time we have fresh eyes.

    I don't know this space very well but Caracella was supposed to have good wraps on him. Has spent time at Geelong, Richmond and now Essendon.

    The only time our backs looked flakey is when our mids allowed the opposition to just waltz it through the HB and midfield into our defence.

    Our backline is the least of our concerns

    A little surprised. As I thought Brett Ratten was cooked.

    I guess Sam Mitchell convinced him to return back to Hawthorn in a different role.

    Apparently Gavin Brown and John Blakey have departed North Melbourne. Would the Demons be interested in either of those two?

    Out of the (playing) game for too long?  Would prefer someone who finished up in the last 10-15 years max.

    Goes against everything i have said for ten years, but i would look hard at Hird.

    McVeigh as well should be a contender.

    It's an interesting suggestion for a couple of reasons:

    1. Goodwin was an assistant when Hird was senior coach. Could they work together with the roles reversed?
    2. As a player, Hird had a skill few players have had of knowing what he was going to do with the ball before he even got it. And then he executed perfectly most of the time. But just because a player has this skill can they coach it into others?

    This suggests to me that Goody is aware of his tactical match day short comings ...

    There are any number of reasons why Goodwin (like an increasing number of AFL coaches) would prefer to be down at ground level/with the players.

    I rate Blakey highly, spent a lot of time and as a senior assistant at the Swans. Would be a great option.

    .... and help us bring in the Lizard!!! (for Grundy! haha) :D

    What about TMac and BB taking on a combined coaching role as they transition out of playing. BB is perhaps coaching the AFLW forwards already?

    Blakey has a good reputation and did great work as an assistant at the Swans for years. Could be a good option.

    I think Nick Blakey would be an incredibly fantastic trade for Brodie Grundy and an excellent replacement for Michael Hibberd. However, I cannot see the Swans letting him go though! More likely to hopefully snaffle the Swan's first draft pick this year in number #11!

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      The Demons are back on the road again for the third time this season when they take on the red hot ladder leaders the Sydney Swans at the SCG. Can the Demons take another big scalp? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The winds finally returned to Casey Fields for the Demons’ third home game of the VFL season, and its impact was immediate. After two opening rounds played in uncharacteristically fine conditions, the Anzac Day clash brought back the familiar gusty conditions that have been a feature of the region at this time of the year.
      Forced to kick into the breeze first, the slow-starting Demons faced a tricky opening against an enthusiastic young Tigers outfit. Casey responded by turning the contest into a scramble, pressuring Richmond into errors and missed targets. The tactic proved crucial, keeping the game tight for three and a half quarters before the Demons pulled away with the autumn wind at their backs.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      It seemed as if the whole purpose of the Anzac Eve clash at the MCG between the Demons and the Tigers was building toward that single, unforgettable moment when Kozzie Pickett soared above Campbell Gray and all but fittingly etched his name onto the face of the 2026 Frank ‘Checker’ Hughes Medal.
