Richmond interested in Neil Craig as director of coaching to aid Hardwick

[Oiafi]

Sounds like he will go to the demons. There's normally not this much media chatter without some truth to it.

[bojangles17]

dissapointing if right, thought we'd have a better case, perhaps he'd feel more comfortable being part of a brand new coaching team

Yep sounds like Craig is off to the Dees although after the past week you can't take anything for granted and it might all change unexpectedly  .

I'd be surprised if true, with so many vacancies I reckon Craig would be keeping his options open.

Craig only meet with Melbourne Thursday of this week for the first time! we were front runners and IMO still are but he obviously has to consider Melbourns offer as well. Don't count us out yet regardless of what is being said, the longer we hear nothing the better it is for us

Schwab said Melbourne had yet to determine whether they would look to secure a senior assistant for Neeld in the mould of a Mark Thompson.

The Demons have spoken with former Adelaide coach Neil Craig. It's understood Craig would have joined Melbourne had West Coast assistant Scott Burns won the Demons role.

What the hell is going on with this? Media are all on different pages. Someone on BF thinks we believe we have already got him.

Too much talk and not enough action.
Either he is with melbourne or richmond or brisbane???
Media get your poo together and source some facts, is that too much to ask?

[T_o_O]

Not too much gets leaked out these days.
The media's guesses are as good as anyone's. Let's wait and see what eventuates.

Too much?  If the football media EVER got it's crap together and sourced some facts it would be a watershed day in the annals of Australian journalistic history.

Too true

Very quiet on the Neil Craig front today. SEN commentators today had no clue and actually said he'd be a good fit for Richmond when asked by a caller about Craig. So the journos are still in the dark.

I think that some on here are getting a bit hysterical about Neil Craig.
Sure, he'd be a great pick up but it's not that big a deal if he ends up elsewhere.

There are plenty of others who could do the same job, some are looking for coaching jobs and some are with the media.

If we miss out on him I would go for Rodney Eade as director of Dimma and his assistants.

Finally a commentator who has a clue because they have no clue
