Good idea.  Bring in caracella knights and montgomery, put them in a cage and whoever comes out alive gets Hardwicks job at rd 10.  Great selection process.

I think to be fair to Geelong (being in the finals) and Caracella staying there until then,  no official announcement is the right way to go

Caracella quits Cats, linked to Tigers

HIGHLY regarded Geelong assistant coach Blake Caracella will see out the club’s premiership campaign before leaving to pursue other coaching opportunities.

Caracella told key officials several weeks ago he planned to move on to a new club after seven years at the Cats.

But he will not jump ship until after Geelong’s season is finished and the Cats are approaching the situation as business as usual as they prepare for a preliminary final.

Richmond is looming as a frontrunner for Caracella’s services with his links to new football manager Neil Balme and coach Damien Hardwick.

Caracella worked under Balme at the Cats for five years and also played in Essendon’s 2000 premiership team alongside Hardwick.

An astute thinker of the game, Caracella was credited for helping mould Tom Hawkins into an All-Australian, best-and-fairest winning key forward, notably his work to straighten Hawkins’s goalkicking accuracy.

Caracella’s credentials were underlined last year when he was one of nine assistants accepted into the elite level-four coaching program run by the AFL.

The program is designed to prepare high-performing assistants for the rigours of taking on a potential senior coach position at an AFL club.

7 years at the cats and has level 4 coaching program.  Sounds like someone who's next move is a senior role.  Not sure why he would want to move to us as an assistant especially seeing the lack of success our assistants have had?  If he has been promised the senior role next year then it would be a disappointing way to replace hardwick seeing we haven't opened it up for all to apply.  Doesn't make sense.
