Bernie Hardwick and his new assistants

Does anyone have half an idea on anything?

RICHMOND is now searching for up to five new assistant coaches.

The future of Mark P. Williams is also unclear, with the Tigers yet to confirm what role he will play at the club in 2017.

The departures leave the highly rated Ben Rutten as Hardwick's only remaining assistant coach, with development coaches Ryan Ferguson and Andrew McQualter also still at the club.

Interviews for the group's replacements are under way and will continue when incoming football manager Neil Balme starts in his new role on Monday.

The club has met already with assistant coaches Brett Montgomery and Blake Caracella, who are both completing the AFL's Level Four accreditation course.

The Tigers face a challenge in filling up to five vacancies but could turn to retired defender Troy Chaplin, who impressed in the last six weeks of the season in an off-field role assisting the coaches.

Why are the development coaches still there?

Seems List management, recruiting and development will remain relatively unchanged.

Caro mentioned Shane Woewodin. She also said we've shown interest in Stevie Johnson as an assistant coach (if he retires which may not happen based on current form) and we've apparently sounded out Luke Hodge (if he doesn't go on next year).

Lloyd said he's still waiting for a master tactician to come on board. Hutchy added they (Richmond) have never had one.

Think head of recruiting and development getting the flick (sort of) is a relatively big change or at least in theory.

Apparently we have offered Steve j a three year deal.

Looks like Stevo is a bit behind the times

Caro reported this 3 weeks ago and i posted it  :rollin

Speaks well. Has been good for Casey. Was coaching at Sandi Dragons in the TAC cup before that I think.
OER. Calling it as it is since 2004.
