Would make a handy small forward - the Irish are generally good kicks and judging by his press conferences and appearance at the senate enquiry he certainly has the evasive skills required. :$
Not sure if salary cap would fit it in!

Would love Jordan Lewis in with the soft cap increased.

In the media he always knew us inside and out.

Assisting Newman would be great

Recruitment of coaches and players is always easy in hindsight. If Hardwick pulled the pin earlier and McRae and Kingsley were being considered for the top job then I bet we would have had supporters saying that Richmond coaches aren't the answer and we need a new gameplan from someone outside of the club.

Now with McRae and Kingsley proving to be right up there with the best coaches it's a case of why didn't Hardwick leave earlier to allow for a succession plan that would have seen either of these guys as our next coach. Who is to say that Mini can't be just as successful?

Think both inherited good lists, they plugged something in that created buy-in, self-sacrifice and team rules that took them to new levels. Bottle it and you'd be a genius.

Agreed however, Dimma really ****eD us by leaving the way he did poaching one of the best analytics guys in the AFL. We traded for another push and the players who won everything couldn't care less about how he left. But the younger players and club as a whole has been set back years in the rebuild. We will hover around the middle table becoming an average side that cant access top young talent and cant afford a rebuild as they want 100k members every year. Cant sell memberships of the back of "we are rebuilding"

It's unfortunate the club didn't think ahead and consider how many years will Hardwick want to coach us and even motivate the players.
But the club became obsessed with believing they could win another flag and building a great marketing story so the fans buy their membership

I wonder how the interview process shaped up, and perhaps we don't have a strong candidate if no one performed well during the
recruitment process. Selection criteria was intensive.

Got a sinking felling they still think we can win the flag. What we do or don't do during the off season will tell us a lot.

they want us to be competitive like Geelong. but we don't have what the cats have.

Home stadium, a great location to raise kids, beach and a house that suites luxury lifestyle. The city lifestyle in melboune other clubs can provide.

Might be worth waiting and seeing how we go next year with whoever our coach is, we were ordinary this year and still in it with 3 games to go, so not sure we need a full rebuild?

We still have a reasonable amount of quality if some of our youth take the next step and we get a bit of a better run with injuries, problem with rebuilds is they set the club back on and off the field and as that happens it becomes more difficult to attract the quality in players and coaches that you need to get back up the ladder, one 37 year shite fest is enough for any supporter.

We've done rebuilds until my arse bleeds over the years, build a good core of age experience and ability which we arent far from already having and add whats needed is better IMO, could be back fighting for flags in 2-3 years with some luck and the right coaching group.

So you provide a great loyal supportive club with pretty good facilities that are being improved further, wealth, huge crowds and plenty of avenues to become rich, all of which we have.

Its not like playerrs have to live in Richmond, the bay is down the road, I grew up in Brighton and Im fairly sure I wouldnt have traded it for living in Geelong.
