Richmond 2016 H&A discussion

Reece McKenzie has retired from AFL football after battling mental health issues.  :(

All the best to the lad, had some solid potential, but his health is the most important thing.

I saw the injury list yesterday and saw he had mental health next to his name, I didn't even know about it.

Apparently rumours going around that Michael Voss could be coaching Richmond next season.

Good luck lol

Surely that is just a sick joke

From what I heard, the speculation is fueled from him having lunch with Brendon Gale and Dimma not having filled some 'performance goals' this season.

That strikes me as odd and premature really, I can't really see it happening.

Giving Dimma an extension was premature imo

Look, I'm hesitant to agree or disagree honestly.

I think part of it was to shut down speculation about his job security, but then he got the extension and we ended up playing like shower off the back of all those failed elimination finals which basically added to the attention around Dimma because it all falls back on the coach even if it's actually the players that can't get their shower together.

Personally, I'm still a fan of Dimma and I'd definitely prefer to Vossy any day of the week.

But yeah, I'd rather assessments be made after Round 23 (or finals if we make it, but realistically that looks unlikely), especially considering he did get that extension.

It does not look good for Dimma this year after this many years of him in charge but I think he is a good coach the problem is our list and depth after many years of recruiting mistakes , there is some talk of a cleanout maybe Voss is being approached about an assistant coaching position ...... well lets hope that is what it is

[Donnie Brasco]

just once, can brandon ellis' first reaction not be to handball backwards, panic, then kick a mongrel across his body to the opposition... also, hardwick's press conferences are absolute jibberish

[Nige]

I think we're right to be both worried and disgusted now.

[shaker]

I have been saying now for 3 years that the Tiges were heading in the wrong direction and we will not win a flag under this plan only to be told that I was totally wrong and that everything was going great ...... well have a guess what this club has to make major changes or we will continue to be a very average team , I actually hope they let Dimma finish his contract but probably expect a knee jerk reaction , they need a complete cleanout of the assistant coaches and recruiting dept we have an invisible president and are not sure Brendon Gale is as good as everyone thinks , then the list well a broom needs to go through there but you could not possibly do that in 1 year e.g Yarran a lazy footballer with a terrible attitude that 3 coaches at the Blues could not fix that when dropped because of his laziness and chip on his shoulder  did not even try in the VFL to think that we could of had Adams or Collins with that pick 19 makes me very angry , we deserve to be in the position we find ourselves in.

I thought Maric was supposed to be good, was I making that up?

If you guys need a ruckman, Trent West is on the table ;)

[meow meow]

Should target AFL quality players like Steele, Hrovat, Towers and Nichols. As long as spuds like Batchelor and Hunt get games you'll never get anywhere. Trade that joke of a captain if you have to.

Voss isn't the worst coach. His players were shower and it's not like they've flourished once he moved on. You can't shine shower.
