Richmond’s next senior coach pt 2

[Roachy8]

OK - I'm officially well and truly over it now.

 

[TigerImposter]

It goes without saying

If a bunch of nuffies on bigfooty can recognise it I’m sure a committee of professionals would be well aware that consists of people not employed by the club as well

So what purpose i go back to of him being there?

This is just the warm up mate
We haven’t even hit trade season yet

 

[shaky]

What? You mean they had his back? We are in for a world of hurt

Of course the players had the coaches back during the season!!!
What player is going to say when asked what they think of the coach, “well he’s just the caretaker, I don’t think he will do a very good job but it wasn’t our choice”.
I mean for *s sake, what are you people smoking?

Sorry just got your sarcasm. Lol

Think TRIB summed it up pretty well

No point hiring a coach that the players won’t play for & if anyone is in a position to give that point of view it’s Trent especially without the bias of needing to play under whoever it is

Regarding Cotchin involvement .
Is there anyone else who would know the playing group as well as Cotchin , isn’t affiliated with any other club and who won’t be playing under the new coach ?
Regarding Buckley , has there ever been a game in our dynasty , where we were in great form , where a player ( albeit a spud ) tore the side to bits and the coaching panel failed to respond to get the win ? ( USA prelim final )
Cotchin there to provide insight ( particularly Yze) on how players may respond to the perspective coach .
Figjam tactical and most importantly response to opposition coaches moves .

I'm still not keen on it as i can see a huge bias based on 7 years of friendship . I would've preferred another intelligent neutral. Nothing against Cotchin as he's an outstanding citizen and that's where he could actually influence others bc the football public and community hold him in high regards.

I guess the way the played when the season was still alive he’s answered that question about playing for the coach, and the way the played for Dimma who they all loved in the last couple of seasons

no sorry that's a cop out as subconsciously family and friends often don't even know they're doing it. They naturally have a tendency to be blindsided. Cotchin had no right to be involved the process bc he was a player under his instructions as an assistant or coach and not someone ranked above him. They actually can influence the board to vote for their mate.

I think you might be jumping at shadows a bit TI.
I don’t know they are asking Cotch to pick a candidate, but then we are all guessing at what his involvement really is.
So my guess, as one of the drivers of our successful culture as captain he might be helping to get some insight from Yze in particular about his views on that side of it.
As it has been started we aren’t looking to bring in wholesale changes at the club and I think the general culture that was established after 2016 is something they want to maintain (hopefully with a bit of a refreshing though).
As a captain he may also have some insight on player engagement etc that he can help question the candidates on.
I don’t disagree he may have a bias towards Mini, even subconsciously, but I don’t think it will have any great effect on the outcome, unless they really are coming down to deciding by a flip of the coin.

Well surmised

Possibly, but read on as I've given my major reason

Fair enough mate
I personally don’t have a problem with it
Cotch has been in the industry long enough to know that whatever he says wouldn’t of been taken personal and whatever relationships he had his love for the club and it’s want of it’s success would lead him to give an honest appraisal

He probably wasn’t even asked in a manner of Mini v Yze that pinned them against each other but more just focusing on the pros and cons of each candidate or sat in on the interviews and asked questions without actually giving feedback and letting the committee draw its own conclusions

If Caracella was in the running, would you be ok with Cotch giving his opinion? Bet you would
