The Demons are hopeful of securing former Adelaide coach Neil Craig in an over-arching director of sport performance role, which would incorporate some elements of a football director as well as being a mentor to rookie coach Mark Neeld.

Regardless of Craig's appointment, Josh Mahoney will move from being an assistant coach to become football manager.

If Craig does not accept the position, it is expected Mahoney's role will be enhanced to cover some of those duties.

So the Age are now saying the Dees are "hopeful" rather than "confident"

In simple terms this means the Age is saying "we are clueless on this issue" 

Full credit to Neil Craig - at least he doesn't run his footy career via the media  And it seems to annoying the hell out of the media

Are you missing a "not" in that last sentence?

I hope we get him. Also, I'd like to see MelbTank win a few spoons in the coming years Hate that club.

More Melbourne coaching appointments but more importantly Neil Craig isn't among them ...


MELBOURNE has appointed Brian Royal as its midfield coach for 2012, with Geelong Falcons coach Aaron Greaves named as midfield assistant coach. Greaves will report to Royal, who takes over from 2011 midfield coach Scott West. 

MELBOURNE has appointed Chris Connolly as general manager of club development, with assistant coach Josh Mahoney set to take up the football manager position.

Wasn't he an assistant coach there years ago under Daniher?

Hey, looooong time reader of OER but made an account so it didn't seem so creepy and I could just the odd comment in.

Anyhow, to the point. I was listening to Triple M's Rush Hour on the way home tonight and Garry Lyon was on for the midweek rub along with Damien Barrett and a couple others. They mentioned this appointment and Barrett said that when he last chatted to Frawley (today I think?), Frawley said that Neil Craig has 5 contracts in front of him. The radio team speculated at least: Richmond, Melbourne, Brisbane, West Coast. Lyon gave the standard "no comment" response whether or not they're still chasing Craig. Somebody asked if St Kilda would be interested in Ayres (I imagine due to his Port Melbourne success at the moment) and they unanimously agreed to no, since the Saints have so far hinted in going a long term and fresh direction which I imagine would also extend to any interest from or in Craig as well.
