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

[Owl]

LOL they offered more money, simple..

[georgies31]

To be honest with people not really disappointed in this dint rate Craig as a football person in but in sports science I do.Go for Rodney Eade if he doesnt get the nod at the saints better football person then Craig by a mile.

[Owl]

Yep, agree, NEEEEXT, Eade would be great tactically and now we are starting to get the cattle he would be a good pickup. 

[10 FLAGS]

Im surprised we wanted more for the football part than the sport science part. That being the case bring on Rodney Eade to mentor Damien Hardwick.

[tony_montana]

Yep Im a little dissapointed about this, however Im more amused that we got trumped by melbourne of all clubs  The fact Craig, who had 4-5 offers in front of him, would allow a cartel that includes that toxic prick Schwab to woo him, makes me seriously question Craigs judgement   

I would have expected him to go to Brisbane or the scum for more money and top notch facilities but melbourne? lol

The bright side is we saved 4-500k and can put that to better use, like another 1 or 2 ross smith types. Make this count tigs and stick it up the Dees once again

It seems we offered a different type of position, IF there is any substance to this.

Melbourne remains eager to employ Craig as director of elite performance, a role which would involve some mentoring of new coach Neeld, but also help oversee the sport-science program at the club.

Richmond wants Craig in a pure coaching role as senior assistant to Damien Hardwick.

If that is true al then things have worked out for the best bc i would have thought utilising his sports science background would have been high on the list of must do's. If its pure coaching role there are plenty of fish left in the sea

and probably fish with more to hang their hat on in terms of coaching too.

Okay then WP, if we didn't deviate and stuck to our plans, what was the job we offered - assistant coach or sports science?

[TigerLand]

I'm not interested in Maric at all. Dont give up anything for him.

If he doesn't come to the club so what.

[Penelope]

LMAO

I wasn't talking about the role I was referring to the fact we didn't get into a bidding war, we made an offer both role and $$$ wise based on what we as a club wanted, we didn't deviate from that, we acted professionally, didn't selll ourselves via the media that's all

[Penelope]

Do you know what role he was offered, Billy?

Very well handled by the modern day Richmond

Specifics of the role Al; no I don't know that.

Do I think it would have involved more than being a senior assistant coach based on what Chutney said absolutely yes
