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

[TigerLand]

Be interested in Craigs mind set.

A) Brisbane: Great landscape to work and live. Rubbish list, ageing stars, few up and coming youngsters, miles away from premiership, away from the chaos that is AFL.

B) Richmond: Heartland of the AFL in Vic, young promising list, far from premiership window but can see the light.

Wonder if Brisbane are offering him the same posistion or whether its a coaching role.

i dunno but i reckon that our role as high performance manager may have a little more appeal than assistant...coming from the head coach straight to assistant seems odd...

Our new and budding relationship with Athlete's Performance in the States, and how that needs to be integrated and fostered, and the access to a different fountain of elite sports science should tickle Cwaigy's taint

Lions, Tigers in hunt to sign coach Craig

THE battle for Neil Craig's signature continued yesterday when he again met the Brisbane Lions.

Lions officials flew to Adelaide to resume discussions in the hope of securing Craig in a possible director of coaching role to support coach Michael Voss.

Craig met Richmond last Thursday about a similar role working alongside coach Damien Hardwick. The former Adelaide coach, who has a sports science background, also remains a chance to become high-performance coach with the Crows.

Michaelangelo Rucci said the Richmond offer is the best one on offer for Craig. In fact it's the only offer  if I heard Rucci correctly. The Brisbane one has seemed to have gone away and the Melbourne one won't happen.

Neil come to Tigerland - there's so much you can do and improve

Caro reckons we're favourites to gain Neil Craig but Adelaide is making a second push to keep their man. She said Richmond put a very good presentation to Craig and strongly believe they are in the box seat.

Sounds like it's all coming together especially if it's true Brisbane has lost interest. I can't see Craig remaining with the Crows with a totally new coaching panel coming in so that leaves just us left.

I'm hoping Brisbane lost interest because Craig told them they had no chance.

With Mitch Clark bailing you may be on the money there Oiafi.
