More wishful thinking at saints, some of that old 1+1= whatever I want it to be... his seditious ways whilst with us are well documented on here... I was given the measure of the man via Adrian Dodoro at a sponsors day (of sorts) in the early 2000s - “tactically poor & too ambitious” was the gist of it.

Adrian Dodoro?! Really? Your assessment of another person is based on what Adrian Dodoro told you?

Why did Ratts decide to work as Richardson's senior assistant if the relationship was so poor?
FWIW, I was told by an assistant when Ratts was Carlton coach that Richardson was very highly regarded.

Yeah? That's why I find your post puzzling crusader. It seems all you hear of Richo is what a great bloke he is. Everyone seems sorry he will likely lose his job. Troubling to hear really.

Still the love for Clarkson and Roos persists.

I don't get it. Look at the state the D's are in - that should put a line through Roos being Mr Special Touch.

As for the Hawks - sitting not far above us last time I looked. Clarkson threw out a lot a senior players going for a quick rebound. Doesn't look to be working too well to me. Don't get me wrong, the bloke has 4 flags so obviously he can coach and if he was available we'd be mad not to talk him but ... I don't see him, (or anyone else), being worth a god father offer because they're so wonderful that they'll fix everything by themselves. Lets learn from Madhouse and not chase anyone too hard.

You do realise he left Melbourne at the end of 2016 right?

Clarkson had never coached a senior AFL team the day he took over at the Dawks. He started day 1 on training wheels.

Teague could be the next Clarkson - easily.

I like Teague's comment that he is demanding that all players play there roll , not would like or hope but demand . A great attitude .

You won’t get any argument from me re AD’s character, having an extra 15 or so years on the clock.

But, what has Richardson done to prove him wrong?

I’ve always had an irrational and baseless dislike of Richardson.

Yes it is. This is not dumb luck.
As an aside those ham and cheese rolls can be really difficult to get performing well.

Exact opposite from me Sue..........never heard a bad word said against the guy until now.And that goes back to his days on the local footy circuit.Highly regards by all...........I"m actually flabbergasted by suggestions he aint a good bloke.Never meat the guy myself so i have no clue other than all the people i know who have had dealings with Richardson are glowing in there praise of the man.

Of course. I also realise that Melbourne did quite well last year and knowing them will probably bounce back in 2020.

But IMO Roos was brought in as the messiah to lead the club to greatness and when he left he implication was that he'd done his job and now it was up to others to reap the glory.

I think I'm just really anti the concept of the football messiah. It's a team/club that wins flags and one person can do as much damage as good. I'm really hoping that we won't go after Clarkson with a bag of $$$ and throw away the most promising coaching prospect we've had in two decades.

Roos' role was to change the culture of the place and put the in a position to challenge.
I think he did that.
I believe he and Ross Lyon's coaching styles are obsolete now.
But nobody is suggesting him as coach.
I think Leigh Matthews said it best. It's the old Chairman of Selectors role, but with more teeth.

I wanna see how he goes to the end of the season, but honestly Teague's looking better and better.
It's not just the wins (and the extremely narrow losses) since he took over - it's how we're playing and how we're winning. In-game changes show an ability to read the game and tweak things which we've sorely lacked.

Massive risk to piss him off in favour of a "veteran" coach. We'd be repeating the Ratten > Malthouse shambles.
