Interesting read on the 2016 Richmond review - and the rest is history


https://www.bigfooty.com/forum/threads/ ... d.1181342/

However you want to look at it, it's been a big day. There are some strong opinions about this and I understand people's frustration. I thought Teague, through all this process, would have been kept on. But I was wrong. Having said that, the changes in the board and the football department is encouraging. I see the split on the assessment of our list. My respectful opinion is that I think we're better than where we finished. I think SPS wasn't given the right opportunity. A much better player when he is in the midfield. Eddie Betts went into bat for him as that is my understanding and Eddie seems to have a good rapport with David Teague. There may be a couple of other guys who were mismanaged but I'm not sure.

As much as it looks a poor look getting rid of another coach, what has happened alongside is the difference here, with assistant coaches and board members going as well. I don't think this decision was taken lightly and was said with a heavy heart. David Teague is a quality person and the club knew that. I think the process to employ him was flawed and that has bitten back at the club hard.

Perhaps watch this space as to more departures.

I have a feeling that even though I wasn't into Teague going that this process will serve us a well. Sometimes you have to go through a healing crisis before you get well. I think this is our healing crisis.

Everyone have a great night.

I think you find when the review was announced Liddle and MLG at the time were at pains to let everyone know that Daivd Teague wasn't under review. Go back and read all the articles and at the new sponsorship announcement Liddle categorically denied it and clearly stated this review doesn't include Teague and he will be coaching us in 2022.

This EGM is the last thing we need.
If we lose RossLyon because of this instability, I'll be very upset.

If you think the board is doing good job then it's not a good idea.

Club culture is poor and getting worse. We have a CEO that looks squashed from all self belief. People are worried about tomorrow

This isn't a high performance environment no matter how you want to cut it.

We exist to win flags but if a young talented coach is sacked because the president didnt like the defensive side of the game plan rather than backing him in with people and resources then I think putting that clown under the sword is above water.

"I respect the decision" - Walsh, several times today

This continuing saltiness - Also Walsh

So we conduct a review which went for roughly 2 months and at the end we only SACK 2 assistant coaches and we also SACK our Senior Coach (who the review was supposedly not about)

Wow this is going well.

Put it this way Diesel and I share the same birthday and its telling

1. We dont put up with any shit
2. We are brilliant and highly talented.

Sayers is neither.

Both very humble as well.

You don't believe in democracy? Perhaps Afghanistan will be more suitable for you.

The clown needs to be put to the test. As I said of course I respect the decision but I am not a sheeple either.

Good one London



There's great reviews, best practise reports, supporter analytics conducted by Richmond.

As Jack Reiwoldt said tonight on 360, Carlton have more going for them in terms of personnel than what Richmond did at the time of this report, when they built a team around the 2 bookends Jack and Rance, and 2 mids in Cotchin and Dusty.

He said Carlton can turn things around pretty quickly, if the players get on board, and they had their huge challenge in the off season before 2017 with a failed Board challenge, and they won the flag the next season.

if the players get on board

Only supporting the EGM if they promise to bring back Smorgyland. Also very interested in their studies on the correlation between sock color and playing shit footy.
