Richmond continues search for up to five replacements AFL.com.au
15th September 2016RICHMOND has met with former Western Bulldogs assistant coach Brett Montgomery as it searches for up to five replacements for Damien Hardwick's support team.
Montgomery, who left the Whitten Oval last month after his contract was not renewed, is also on a shortlist of candidates the Brisbane Lions are compiling for their senior vacancy before interviews start.
The Tigers have held recent talks with Montgomery, but AFL.com.au understands the 43-year-old will still be an applicant for the Lions' position.
Assistant coach Blake Caracella, who will leave Geelong at the end this season, has also met with the Tigers, whose new football manager Neil Balme will start on Monday.
Richmond chose not to renew the contracts of Ross Smith, Greg Mellor and premiership coach Mark Williams last month and is yet to confirm what role Mark P Williams will have at the club in 2017.
Midfield stoppages coach Brendon Lade was offered a one-year contract but could yet move to Port Adelaide, where he will be interviewed.
