Tigers move swiftly on Greg Miller role
Stephen Rielly | July 29, 2008
THE man chosen to replace Greg Miller as head of the Richmond football department could be at Punt Road within six weeks and certainly ensconced in time to be involved in October's trade week and a post-season review of football operations.
The Tigers want Miller's successor to assess and, in all likelihood, reshape the department, suggesting that the appointment will be both swift and from within the game, although president Gary March denied yesterday that the new football chief had been identified.
According to March, a recruitment firm has been engaged to draw up a short list of candidates, with a subcommittee headed by chief executive Steven Wright to then settle on the appointment.
Former Carlton, Richmond and Fremantle player Chris Bond has been suggested, although he is in the first year of a three-year contract with the Dockers as list-development manager and is expected to be handed more seniority over the summer. Bond was an assistant coach with Western Bulldogs this time last year, where two others mentioned, former captain Wayne Campbell and Leon Cameron, are still by Rodney Eade's side.
