So do I

Yep, straight after retirement.

Don't know if it was taken out of context, but the part where Leppa feels he doesn't need to be interviewed worries me a little.

Collingwood flying so he would be fully invested in them atm.

But things can change as he said in the article.

I still really hope that mini gets the job.

Don't know if it was taken out of context, but the part where Leppa feels he doesn't need to be interviewed worries me a little.

Why ??

The man has spend nearly 8 years at Richmond and knows everybody at the club and they already know him inside out and have seen what he has done last 2 years.

What would they talk about in the interview apart from have lunch and a coffee

 

[Rioli2Rioli]

I'm sort of leaning against Leppa now for a few reasons.

1. It's exceedingly rare for failed ex-coaches to win one at their next club. History shows there's a reason they were failed coaches initially.
2. Some coaches are outstanding assistants, but just not the right fit for the senior coach. Leppa could be one of these, and we see these situations a lot. E.g. someone like Voss could/would be rated as an outstanding assistant, but might not be the number 1 guy.
3. His coaching record at Brisbane wasn't just disappointing, it was diabolical. He went 7, 4, and 3 wins, they literally got worse every year he coached.
4. I think regarding coaching, we need to move on from the previous era a little bit, Leppa seems the nostalgic back to the well appointment, but I think we need some fresh ideas and a completely new voice at the head coach position. I think a lot of the players would benefit from this too.

Brisbane football club was a mess back then and he had absolutely no support and an exodus of players wanting to get out
impossible situation for a 1st time coach just out of playing

Leppa is very highly respected and for good reason imo
Voss is just a flog and the last 10 years have proven which is the better coach

Chappo has unfinished business at Richmond, his coming to Richmond saw us play finals for the first time since 2000 and every year after until his body broke down and he couldn't get on the field in 2016 and he retired in July mid season.

He's highly respected, as an assistant.

History isn't on his side for failed ex-coaches, or any non-premiership ex-coaches for that matter.

Well I'd hope that any candidate that we're considering for the role goes through an interview process. I'd like the club to know what the plan is the new coach has for taking us forward. Blindly appointing someone that has spent a few years in the club and it mates with everyone has disaster written all over it, much like when Brisbane went and appointed Voss first up then turned to Leppitsch after that.

For mine anyone wanting the job must go through the full process.

Thoughts on mark neeld? I know his first gig didn’t go well but I’m a big believer in second chances …. Think he will be better prepared this time around

Is that Nathan Foley on the right?

We should look at bringing Chaplin across. Not as head coach though IMO.

Yep, and you will love this other photo I have got.






It has to burn deep that you missed out on what you were part of building cause your body didn't make it to 30.

Axel Foley going to coach?

Loved the club so much he even tried evolving wings so he could keep going

How salty were Port fans during this period? They even thought they had the last laugh when they belted us in the Elim final, if only they knew. LOL

Yeah he was stiff. Not the best player but a great person and clubman. Rance loved him. I remember when it was floated that Chaplin might leave Port Rance was very public in the fact that he wanted him to come across to help out, which wouldn't usually happen.
