I have timed this to my frustration and find that on average 75 to 80% of the time is Geelong issues while Richo sits there like a tailors dummy.
Still prefer Richo to Scott.
He needs to deliver a very broad message, that the folks who matter can understand, they can read between the lines,
but at the same time, he can't give the media any rubbish that they can take out of context later.
It's a fine balancing act, and it's not bloody easy.
I don't care a fat rat's clacker what he says publicly, whether he says "positive" and "pleasing" and "strong" 20 times a minute,
as long as the players and other coaches can get an honest message behind closed friggin doors
and they know what is expected.
This other public stuff is just smoke and mirrors.

Re: Richo on 360
When I worked for an insurance company call centre (which was like Scientology) our managers told us a lot of things in meetings,Impatient Sainter wrote:How do you know its any different behind closed doors?WellardSaint wrote:Richo is measured and careful in his responses.

but when we spoke to our customers, we only told them what they needed to know.
E.g. our managers emphasised "try to get people to pay by monthly direct debit, because our stats show that those
folks have 72% retention, they forget when the policy is up for renewal, so they don't notice the price increase"
(that's how we kept customers, by stealth, it's not illegal at all, we send out renewals 30 days in advance, if they don't read it, it's on their heads)
Would I tell a customer that?

Re: Richo on 360
I note that Richo and the Geelong kray brother are both on 360 every Monday. I further note that when Geelong win - we lose and when we win Geelong lose.
Hitherto, with Geelong losing last night - we should win.

As ex-president Peter Summers said:
“If we are going to be a contender, we may as well plan to win the bloody thing.”
