Alan Richardson to join Demons next year
no, this is not a joke, it's not April Fool's Day either.
He joins their coaching team in some capacity.
Nice that he'll be able to white-ant them hahaha

Re: Alan Richardson to join Demons next year
Well that's a relief because it wasn't funny nor a surprise that Richo scored himself a role at another club. His coaching experience is obviously more respected by the AFL sanctum than it is from the keyboard circles.WellardSaint wrote: ↑Fri 23 Aug 2019 4:07pm no, this is not a joke, it's not April Fool's Day either.

Re: Alan Richardson to join Demons next year
Good luck to him. Much more appropriate role for his skill-set.

Re: Alan Richardson to join Demons next year
I would say Richo was treated very well here.
No scrutiny at all until early into his 5th season. Safe to say that the club did a hell of a lot more for him than vice versa

Interesting, seeing he didn't rate the Dees coaching staff.WellardSaint wrote: ↑Fri 23 Aug 2019 4:07pm no, this is not a joke, it's not April Fool's Day either.

Re: Alan Richardson to join Demons next year
That should not be too hard. His treatment from a fair percentage of posters here was disgraceful.
I am very happy that the dees seem to appreciate him, judging from the following.
"Alan is extremely well respected within the industry and it was no surprise that he had a number of options from other clubs, and we are pleased that he has chosen Melbourne.
“He brings with him a wealth of knowledge having filled a number of senior football roles at a number of clubs.”

The Saints are under review, will it make any difference to the underachievers ?

Re: Alan Richardson to join Demons next year
Good on him,
Likely to be director of coaching, a role he did very well at Port.
I do not believe coaching was the biggest problem at StK in 2018 and some of 2019.

Re: Alan Richardson to join Demons next year
well, I remember another former coach taking Spud Dawson with him to the Dockers.
A player who had more cons than pros.
Hopefully, The Dud will take Newnes off our hands in the same manner.

Re: Alan Richardson to join Demons next year
we would have kept Dawson
except there was no money to pay him a reasonable wage
(plus 35k iirc)

Re: Alan Richardson to join Demons next year
This just cracks me up - A club in the middle of a monumental rebuild ‘fail’ just hired the coach recently sacked for ‘failing’ a re-build to mentor/direct/do sweet F*** all for the said club in the midst of a failed re-build. And which genius thought up this pearler of an idea. This afl coaching merrygo round for struggling clubs would be such a laughing stock from any high performing organisation point of view!
Well done dees, you’ve got yourselves an absolute beauty there in Richo! Yeah nah, strong decision.

Will make Goodwin look more of a jokester. Excellent straight man Alan, and a Suns specialist.

All posters are equal, but some posters are more equal than others.

Re: Alan Richardson to join Demons next year
I second that. He didn't raise our collective hackles until someone on the board extended his contract and then we proceeded to implode. So the people saying on here that he was never appreciated are talking through their arse.
As ex-president Peter Summers said:
“If we are going to be a contender, we may as well plan to win the bloody thing.”

The majority on here turned on Watters only in his second season, yet it Richo until his 5th season to attract the same kind of scrutiny. Admittedly, it wasn’t Richo’s fault that this debacle of a contract extension occurred. But, he was also joining the admin in beating his chest in front of the cameras, saying that we’ve done our time and on the way up.
A good assistant, but his strength is not as a senior coach.
