The last time we had a coup was 2004 when we signed up Wallet.
The last time before that was when Lockett was apparently coming to Richmond in 1994 and the AFL stepped in.

Considering the type of club we have been for a long time Craig to RFC would be an off field coup of monumental proportions given his integrity ability and experience at Adelaide for many years prior to his appointment as coach. Dates back to Blight I think.


Missed what i reckon was the biggest coup of recent years.
Dr Jeff Bond from the AIS to Richmond as Head of Learning.
Now I wonder what happened there?

I recon Dimma should be screaming from the rafters to get Neil Craig to Tigerland- otherwise Dimma may not have a job come September next year... Dimma needs help and i hope he is big enough to know it.

Footy Classified tonight showed vision of Craig at the airport. Caro also said Craig was in Melbourne today visiting Richmond.

Yep, have to get him I think, I was keen on getting old mate Bailey from Melbourne but Craig would be the better choice..

According to todays HUN we're out of the running for Craig (already)  ::)

Its between the Lions and the AFL

so sick and tired of this club being unable to attract good strong footy ppl. Obviously and CLEARLY, the whole industry(except for our supporters) sees that the club is so far off the pace its not worth the effort.

stuff off!

would have to agree here.

when Scotty Waters and Clayton were up for grabs we were found wanting yet again. Why we never really went after Balme is beyond belief.

Our biggest coup in the last 5 years has been the tanned one and what a farce that was.

we are a club for the unemployed and it wouldnt surprise me one bit if the best we can come up with come seasons end is Mark Blake and Dean Bailey

Dead right, been like this for a while, the best "coup" this club ever pulled off was Nathan Browm IMO, other than that every other club has managed to get either top line players, administrators or coaches to their club.......we get nothing...ever...

Hell we can't even finish down the bottom of the ladder on the right years to get the best picks, we have been duped by GC, now by GWS in the weakest draft ever and we will have pick 10 or so....

Unlucky....bad management....bad recruiting.....bloody hell who ran over the black cat about 100 times, then reversed over him 100 more.....the RFC!!!!!!!
