Former Adelaide Crow who retired after rd 23, played over 220 games

And BTW Angus, Hayes has not been announced as an assistant  ;D

Former Adelaide star stuff Ben Rutten has joined Richmond as an assistant coach.

Rutten retired as a player with the Crows in the final home-and-away round this season following a stellar 12-year career.

He played 229 games, averaged 13,3 disposals and 5.2 marks per match, was named stuff in the 2005 All-Australian team, and earned a glowing reputation as one of the best key defenders in the competition over the past decade.

“We are very fortunate to have Ben at the Richmond Football Club, and we look forward to welcoming him to our coaching group,” said Richmond General Manager of Football, Dan Richardson.

“Ben’s playing achievements speak for themselves, and his leadership skills, knowledge of the game, and experience guiding Adelaide’s younger players, will hold him in good stead as he embarks on a coaching career.”

According to Crows fans, Talia attributes his development to Rutten. Should be good for Astbury.

Rutten was a great defender, mentored Phil Davis & Daniel Talia. What's not to like? Astbury and Rance will benefit from his recruitment.

Is Hardwick afraid of experienced coaches? Might be a threat to his position
