Did Caro just say Bailey could end up at Richmond as one of his options open to him?

She mentioned Port and GWS as Bailey has connections at both those clubs and in the middle chucked our name in there.

Sure to be incorrect then. :lol

... But the Power could face stiff competition for the suddenly-available Bailey with Richmond considering hiring the sacked coach as a senior assistant to Damien Hardwick.

Lets go for it, we should get him, there isn't much more out there as senior assistants...

Neil Craig miles in front of Bailey . . . Bailey can not coach, was used to tank and nothing more.

Well that would be cutting off your nose to spite your face! Why do this when you have the young talent they do on their list? Scully? Gone! Watts? Not progressing at the rate they thought! Sorry but i can not see why they would put a coach in purely to tank when the development of your list is at stake!

Bailey was a very very good assistant coach. Wouldnt be a bad move as it increases our footy department brains trust.


 Craig is one of those big fish that is just a pipe dream for the RFC, no chance of landing him.

Yes, he was good at Port as senior assistant when they won the flag and were minor premiers a few years running.
Was also a development coach at the Bombers when they won the flag in 2000.
Knows Hardwick well from both those positions.

I didn't take it that way; I just took it mean that we maybe one of the clubs looking at a more senior assistant, she then mentioned Craig and ended it with saying Craig to perhaps Bris

Why would we want the deadwood from another club again?
“I find it nearly impossible to make those judgments, but he is certainly up there with the really important ones, he is certainly up there with the Francis Bourkes and the Royce Harts and the Kevin Bartlett and the Kevin Sheedys, there is no doubt about that,” Balme said.

Because he's been a effing good assistant elsewhere and has played a role in premierships? Does it honestly matter that he got the ass as coach of Melbourne? As GT said last night, they will get another coach in and then they'll sack him in 5 years too.

Bailey would be handy

Yep sounds good to me. :banghead :banghead :banghead

Pies last year made a play for the best assistant coach in the West, Waters and they got their man.

we go after Bailey and Cameron.

Why is it they we dont go after the best. We couldve made a play for Balme a few years back yet we go after Cameron who did wonders for Melbourne.

We are not a charity case for the unemployed. The only exception to this is Craig or Choco
