Richmond keen to keep Jade Rawlings
Tony Sheahan | Herald Sun, September 13, 2009
RICHMOND has given its strongest indication yet former senior coach Jade Rawlings is an integral member of the club's football department.
President Gary March said a decision on Rawlings's future with the club could be known as early as today.
"Damien (Hardwick) was going to work out whether there was a role for Jade and I think they were going to do that over the weekend," March said.
"We'd be keen for Jade to stay around, if it suited him and it suited us. But it has to work for both parties, and more importantly, it has to work for Damien," March said.
"We said to Jade he should have a think about what he wanted to do. We would understand if he wanted to leave, but we were also keen for him to stay. We'd be more than happy if he decided to stay."
Rawlings has a year of his contract remaining, and in his favour is a healthy relationship with the club's head of football, Craig Cameron.
"Damien will sit down and work out what Jade has to offer and how that could work," March said.
But the new coach won't have carte blanche control over the entire football department.
Hardwick will have to consult with Cameron and the club's new chief executive Brendon Gale about prospective coaches he wants, and whether they fit the mould of the Richmond football club.
The football department will make a presentation to the board this week regarding direction, likely appointments and budgets for next year.
Hardwick has canvassed up to half a dozen coaches. He met former teammate Brendon Lade last week in Brighton. Former Hawk Ben Dixon was approached, too, as was Adam Simpson.

What is quoted in the article that was posted that suggests March should not be pres? What ground breaking stuff is in there that should be kept in house?

What l'm saying is when something happens at Richmond that Gary March has to talk to the media instead of saying nothing

perhaps we say something so we stop allowing the press to write whatever garbage they feel like
I don't think there is anything that is going to cause a national incident and actually there is absolutely nothing in the article that hasn't been said before over the last 3 weeks so I am not sure what the problem is
And if that's the best young Tony can come up with as his main story in today's little paper then I reckon he has far bigger worries that we do :rollin

I totally agree, feed the beast don't let it devour you. Ben Cousins is a classic example of this, when he refused to say anything the media frenzy was just amazing and totally over the top. To the extent that when Ricky Nixon crashed his car drunk the headline read "Ben Cousins manager crashes car!" Now that Ben appears on radio it's calmed down.
I think for the last 5 years we have been dealing with the media very well. The few scandals we have had (Kane Johnson comes to mind) have blown over and generally Wallace and co fed the beast very well. One of the few things that did go well under his reign.

is he staying?

Well that sums up the whole article. It says nothing except what we already knew.

How is he telling them everything when it hasn't even been decided?
FWIW I have no issue with Jade staying if it's decided he has something positive to offer still.

I would have no problem with him going back to Coburg and coaching to a new gameplan. He did pretty well with the list when he had them this year and I think he will have much more of a clean slate to work with when it comes to ego's shattered by being dropped. None of what McCrae had to suffer through at the end of the season.

l'm not talking about what is said about the article or whats been said before. l know what goes on down there without waiting for media to let it out.
what l'm saying is l'm tired of March & anyone at Tigerland always facing the media about any little thing that goes on
Benny Gale dont run to the media with details of everything & lets the media speculate, Jason Dunstall says nothing, thats what l mean.
Thats what l want the club to start doing. Stay out of the media ;D

Dunstall and Hawthorn are pretty poor analogy to make!
They only have Brown who slags off opposition players in the press and a coach who does not exactly behave the best on tv when slightly stressed as seen in the final round and the time he abused the reporter with the cameras still running!

Tigers caretaker coach to join Lions
Jess Hogan | September 15, 2009 - 12:51PM
Richmond's 2009 caretaker coach, Jade Rawlings, has quit the club to become an assistant at the Brisbane Lions under Michael Voss.
Richmond would not confirm Rawlings' move and Brisbane could not be contacted immediately, however it is believed the 31-year-old has been released from his contract to join the Lions.
The move comes a day after Brisbane released three of its assistant coaches from this season: Chris Johnson, Wayne Brittain and Craig Brittain.
Another assistant, Justin Leppitsch, is believed to be attracting interest from Victorian clubs.
Rawlings coached the Tigers' last 11 matches this season, stepping in after the resignation of Terry Wallace.
He made the final four candidates for the club's full-time senior coaching role but was passed over for Damien Hardwick.
After Richmond's round 21 loss to Hawthorn, Rawlings, who had found out the previous day he had not made the final two, said he doubted whether the new coach would want him remaining.
"I personally would think that it would be hard for someone who gets appointed to have me around," he said.
"[Because of] my passion for the job and my attachment to this group someone may think I've got some sort of worth but that will work itself out, I'm sure."
