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

[DCrane]

I'm not convinced that this 'director of coaching' position is a great idea.

Neither am I, but I would still take Neil Craig as an assistant coach. I think he has a lot to offer. But Hardwick is head honcho of coaching and Neil Craig's title should reflect that. The term or title of 'Assistant Coach' seems like a demotion, so I'm sure they will come up with a much fancier title than that should he come to the club.

Going by what BT said we already have 

AFL Teams, BT believes we have offered a 3 year contract as High Performance Manager. Neil is said to be considering it. good to see we are out there chasing!!

Would be a great get by the club.

[Mr Magic]

Head of Sports Science is a good title for him. Put him incharge of all the high performance stuff at the club as well as assisting hardwick throughout the week and on matchday.

I'd be happier with a title like that. Needs to be a clear differential IMO, otherwise if things start to go pearshaped it won't take much for the press to up the anti.

Head of Sports Science or High Performance Manager would be good titles for Craig. Anything that helps improve our fitness and ability to gut-run both ways is badly needed.

I said weeks ago that the Club had gone after him and just because it wasn't getting played out the the papers didn't mean the club was working hard to get him ... p

Seems we might be a show after all

Will say it again just becuase things aren't front & square or being leaked to the media deosn't mean the Club isnt doing things

 

But, we are so used to media leaks. Means we know everything

Great to see that its being played behind close doors for a change, last 2 seasons has been good like that.

A very good acquisition if he comes to Richmond. More and more better people are coming to Richmond lately hopefully it continues with Neil Craig.

Craig to clear his desk

NEIL Craig will meet Adelaide Football Club chief executive Steven Trigg on Friday to end his "staff'' deal at West Lakes.

It will be the first step in Craig's move to a new AFL club, most likely Richmond.

Craig was in Melbourne on Wednesday sifting through his post-Crows opportunities that included being Brisbane coach Michael Voss' senior mentor to seeking a high-performance role at Cricket Australia.

Craig is officially on leave at Adelaide where he resigned as coach six weeks ago. His "staff'' role has him to return to West Lakes next month, but there now appears no role for him at Adelaide that will appoint a new coach in the next three weeks.

Port Adelaide also is prepared to consider Craig for a role at Alberton, but it is understood Craig will not agree to meet with the Power.

Denham says that Richmond is Craig's favoured option.

[Owl]

Would make one of our weaknesses sports science a strength.


Really hope it happens, infact desparate for it to happen as it is crucial to our success

[JVT]

Could be our biggest pick up this off season 

[Dubstep Dookie]

I hope this happens. 

Not religious, but time for a group prayer
