Tigers caretaker coach to join Lions
Jesse 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."

good riddons

I'm disappointed he has left. I was hoping he could work with Hardwick, continue in his Coburg role and focus on development.

If though, he would have made Hardwicks role more difficult or compromised the coach in any way then I can understand the move.

Hm probably the right move for both parties.

Think its a great example showing emotion in the media isn't a good idea

"I love these blokes, I'm so passionate about this group, I want to coach these guys, I'd die for these guys"

Not the best way to go about it Jade.

Then to leave, you look a bit silly.

Especially when you only coached them for 11 games or so.
Very silly. Not much upstairs

All assistants gone except Cambo who will continue as midfield coach in 2010....


Rawlings, McRae depart Punt Road

Richmond has announced that Jade Rawlings and Craig McRae will not continue at the club next season, with both agreeing to join the Brisbane Lions Football Club in coaching roles.
 
Fellow Tigers’ coaching panel members Brian Royal and David King have also departed Punt Road since the end of the 2009 season.
 
Rawlings joined Richmond in 2007 as an assistant coach, combining that duty with a senior coaching role with the Club’s VFL affiliate, Coburg, in 2008.
 
He became a development coach at Richmond in 2009, while continuing as Coburg’s senior coach. But when Terry Wallace vacated the senior coaching role at Richmond mid-year, Rawlings took over as the Tigers’ caretaker coach for the rest of the season. He subsequently guided the team to three wins, a draw, and seven losses in the final 11 home-and-away rounds.
 
McRae, a triple premiership player with Brisbane, spent three years at Tigerland as a development coach. He stepped into the senior coaching position at Coburg midway through the 2009 season, replacing Rawlings.
 
Royal had stints as an assistant coach at the Western Bulldogs and Melbourne, before joining Richmond in an assistant coaching role in 2005. He was initially in charge of the team’s midfield, before taking over forward line duties this season.
 
King also spent five years at Punt Road as defensive coach, following a decorated 241-game career at North Melbourne.

Richmond Forward Scout Gordon Casey also departed the club following the 2009 season.

Wayne Campbell will continue as the Tigers’ midfield coach in 2010, while announcements on replacements for the departing coaches will be made in due course.

I'm disappointed he has left. I was hoping he could work with Hardwick, continue in his Coburg role and focus on development.

If though, he would have made Hardwicks role more difficult or compromised the coach in any way then I can understand the move.

Just curious as to why would people would think if he stayed he should have gone back to coaching Coburg?

Find it interesting

But I do agree that if staying was going to make things difficult for Hardwick then it is actually the right decision

Especially when you only coached them for 11 games or so.
Very silly. Not much upstairs

And you base your final comment on what exactly? Do you actually know him?

Reason I ask you get very critical of others when they criticise or take pot shots at people you know, usually calling them nuffers but you sometimes don't seem to apply the same rules to those you don't know

Just an observation

I actually have met him in a social enviroment , in a pub with the other coaches, Wasnt impressed at all, thought he was a dope was my first impression. smoke hanging out of his gob, pot in the other,  I thought at the time, gee we really need this as an assistant.
He didnt inspire me at all,.
I call it as I see it.
You can see why the likes of Sheedy , Parkin and Matthews were successful, they inspire players to walk tall.

I have to agree with Monk, all the knobs are nearly gone.
Just one thing Infamy, there is reason we are down the bottom, as the people they had running the place had little idea. FACT !

So I can make a call on a person if I have met them in a "social environment" 

So therefore, I can say I've met Sheedy in a "social environment" (which I have) and I wasn't impressed thought he was away with the pixies to be honest ... I call it as I see it... on that occassion he didn't inspire me at all

How can an axe fall on someone when they have actually quit  ???

[crannyvegas]

might hurt the Raines trade??
Rawlings might alert the lions to a couple of andrews imperfections..
