Richmond football boss Craig Cameron quits club

Greg Denham
February 10, 2013 6:34PM

RICHMOND has began a thorough search for a new general manger of football operation following the shock resignation of Craig Cameron.

Cameron informed the Tigers that he is seeking a challenge outside the AFL, and will soon commence work as chief executive of BC3 Thoroughbreds.

The highly respected football administrator has headed Richmond's football department for the past five years after a stint as Melbourne recruiting manager.

RICHMOND football boss Craig Cameron has quit to join the racing industry.

Cameron is understood to have been contemplating the switch for some time and informed the Tigers over the weekend that he will be joining BC3 Thoroughbreds.

The Tigers are confident his departure will not impact the club's start to the new season.

Cameron joined the Tigers in 2007 from Melbourne where he'd been the Demons chief recruiting officer.

Cameron resigns as GM of football to take up CEO role
By richmondfc.com.au
8:01pm AEDT Sunday, February 10, 2013



Richmond General Manager of Football Craig Cameron has resigned to take up a new role as CEO of BC3 Thoroughbreds.

The Tigers’ chief executive officer, Brendon Gale, said Cameron had done an outstanding job in his time with the Club.

“Craig has overseen significant change in our football program in his five years in the role. There have been important changes to our coaching, development, list management and forward scouting structures under his guidance,” Gale said.

“Craig advised us recently that he was looking at taking a different direction with his career, and we understand his decision, wish him well for the future and thank him for the great contribution he has made to the Club.

“Our plans are locked in for the season ahead, so the timing of this decision will allow us to undertake a rigorous process to identify the right person to lead the football department into the future.”

Cameron said it had been a difficult decision - one he had been considering for some time - but, ultimately, he felt the timing was right.

“I’ve thoroughly enjoyed my time at the Club, and I want to thank President Gary March and the board, Brendon Gale, Damien Hardwick, the players, and everyone I have worked with so closely in the football department, for their support,” Cameron said.

“Everyone at this Club is working very hard to deliver the fans on-field success, and I wish them all the very best for the future.”

Surprised at how many people are dissappointed with this news. CC never seemed to have a passion for the job doesn't surprise me he's decided to jump ship halfway through the job. Good riddance.

Pretty gutless to take the pay cheque all off season if he was thinking about the move for some time.

Easily replaceable in my book. Only looks like he's done a good job because he's come off the back of a Miller run football department.

Try relax, heal and enjoy the footy thats about to start(at last!) and the improvement we will see in the tigs this season. If we lose a player to this scandal we deal with it and move on, 1 player doesnt make or break a club.

 As for CC quitting, Im not fussed(wish him well) Gale and co will keep the ship sailing until we get the right person for the job at seasons end.

Just because Coach used to play and Coach at Port Adelaide, doesn't mean he supports them. I know for a fact that he has a house full of all sorts of Tiger Memorabilia and I know he doesn't like to brag about how long he has been a club member but lets just say that when the Vickers Gin sign was exposed during the Punt Road Oval redevelopment, It brought back a lot of fond memories to him.

Apologies Coach if I have let anything slip that is not already in the public domain or on Wikipedia.

thank god for sml mercies.
based purely on his performance at the club it was only a matter of time before the club looked to replace him.
the other one we all pat on the back in jackson doesnt have a good record either. we can and must do better.

simply put both were improvements on previous regimes not hard to do.  but both are hardly or have been hardly good enough when compared to their peers.

AFAIK Cameron's equine job is just a cover. I heard he is actually going on secret location filming for a remake of "The Goodies" TV series where he will play the character "Tim" which was originally played by Tim Brooke-Taylor.
