‘Bigger things to worry about’: Bombers’ great Watson weighs in on Lethal spray
Melbourne and football boss Alan Richardson are parting ways after seven seasons with the veteran official at the helm.
Richardson joined the Demons in 2020 after he finished up as St Kilda coach and was a key figure in Melbourne’s drought-breaking premiership in 2021.
Two competition sources with knowledge of the situation, but who spoke on condition of anonymity, confirmed Richardson was leaving at the season’s end.
He informed key football department personnel in the past week that this season would be his last at the club.
Richardson was part of the group who told Simon Goodwin he was being sacked as coach last August after the Melbourne board decided to move on the coach.

‘I wouldn’t be going to Essendon’: Matthews slams Bombers; Lyon again eyeballs reporters in presser
Australian Football Hall of Fame Legend Leigh Matthews has taken a major swipe at Essendon, declaring anyone who has a choice wouldn’t apply for the Bombers’ vacant coaching role, and he would have no confidence in heading there under the current administration.
Matthews, a four-time premiership coach who also featured in three-straight grand finals against the Bombers as a player with arch-rival Hawthorn, declared he “wouldn’t be going to Essendon” if he was still a coach.
“From the outside I said, ‘Oh well, good luck’. If I was a coach, I wouldn’t be going to Essendon. If you desperately want a job, you just go for it, right? But, anyone who has choices ain’t going to Essendon,” Matthews told 3AW on Saturday.
