Richmond has appointed Craig McRae as its VFL coach for 2016.
After leaving Richmond, he had one year back with the Lions as a development coach, before joining Collingwood as development manager.
He enhanced his reputation for cultivating young football talent throughout a five-year stint with the Magpies, winning the AFL Coaches Association’s inaugural Development Coach of the Year Award in 2014. This award recognises outstanding commitment, service and innovation in developing and preparing young players for AFL football.
McRae, who also is a qualified school teacher, finished at Collingwood at the end of the 2015 season, and Richmond is delighted to have someone of his football experience and expertise overseeing its VFL program, as a replacement for Tim Clarke, who has joined Carlton as an assistant coach.

Spoke to him many years ago when he was with us. Said he had aspirations to be a senior coach back then. Said he came to Richmond to learn tactical match day stuff from Wallace. Seemed like an intelligent and nice person.
I would say he'd be an upgrade on Tim Clarke (will due respect to Tim).
Good decision RFC. :clapping
-
He won't do any good with the lack of players & talent we have. :snidegrin
-
Smart move look out dimma
-
:clapping
-
Didnt really rate when here last..hope he proves me wrong
-
Great to get a coach in with a good depth of experience behind him.
Go Craig :clapping :clapping :clapping
-
Did Richmond do something good?
-
Is he a good bloke?
-
Is he a good bloke?
Nope but has heaps of experience coaching

So he arrived at the wobbles after they won the premiership in 2010.
They finished:
2010 Premiers
McCrae arrives as Head of developement.
2011: finished top lost GF.
2012: finished 4th lost PF.
2013: finished 6th lost EF.
2014: finished 11th
2015: finished 12th
It seems like he had a real impact in his last job.
:facepalm

Groupie, its great to see you joined :cheers
ALso, Craig was getting bagged by a few of the coteries 6 years back when he took over from Rawlo and the VFL side went to crap. Wonder if they are happy about this. Actually who cares
-
my eye is twitching again ...lets go trawl the scumpies boards and see what they are saying about losing him lol
-
So how much does he do with the firsts? Will he get involved at all in game day?

:facepalm
Are you saying it was his fault that the pies traded out all their premiership stars and remained at least competitive with all the youngsters that replaced them?

Another yes man that won't rock the boat...............just saying

Seeing he was a head of development at the Pies and considering they quality of kids they've bought through the last couple of seasons reckon he's been very good at what he does.
Also read he won the AFL coaches association's most outstanding development coach back in 2014 so he is clearly rated by his peers
-
sounds like positives to me but all the whinging means I have to be sad right?

It is, and the correlation between him being a good bloke and the vfl team winning will be very strong.

Yes WP, he was the Head of development & yes they have quality young players who actually came in with very big wraps on them.
Other than the kids that have the wraps on them what else has developed that well?
On a side note Lachie Keeffe and Josh Thomas have developed............ a taste for the good stuff !

Apart from those that you mentioned, they lost or traded Jolly (number one ruck), Thomas (who before his ankle injury was a gun), Leon Davis, Luke Ball, Harry O, Chris Dawes, Sharrod Wellingham, Alan Didak and Leigh Brown.
Now that is a lot of experience and some of those players are ver good players. So you would expect the side to slide when you replace all of those with youngsters.
So before you shoot off your mouth, go and do a little research. :whistle

The only useful player in that lot was Jolly
Dawes is a spud who saves his best game for us
Wellinghams disposal is poo
Ball was past it at St Kilda

You obviously did not understand the whole point of my post so I will try to make it as simple as possible for you.
You indicated the team went backwards with McCrae there. I have tried to indicate there were many other reasons for the team going backwards. The loss of experienced premiership players can not be underestimated. You have little idea about football if you think that hacks and pensioners win flags. They don't.
The constant loss of this experience has led to Collingwood spiralling downward.
This is a thread on McCrae. I think it is ridiculous that you have brought up a link to him and the down turn in Collingwoods fortunes. If you can't see that, you are a lost cause.

A fair few people who were in coterie groups 6 years ago have moved on.
I am part of a coterie group. I was not asked for my opinion.
McCrae also has a very different job this time around. He is older and more mature and hopefully this will help him with his approach to people in general. Back in 2009, he was a relatively recently retired premiership player and was still a bit brash. I expect much more from him this time around.
