Would anyone here consider Robert Harvey in an assistant (midfield) coaching role at Richmond?

Nope  ;D

Any interest in Nigel Lappin joining Craig McRae at Punt Rd in a coaching capacity?

Any further whispers on who'll be the new assistant coaches?

Marcus Ashcroft and Paul Hudson have been given the flick by Brisbane.

Craig Lambert is still contracted with the Lions.

Quote
Hudson aside, the rest of the club's assistant coaches, Craig Lambert, Justin Leppitsch and Adrian Fletcher, as well as ruck coach Clark Keating and development coach Chris Johnson, are former teammates and friends.

Hudson had been a popular member of the department during his two years at the club, but he has no previous history with Voss and, because he was the only assistant out of contract, was always likely to be the man to make room for a Voss appointee.

Ashcroft would be most unlikely to leave Qld.  He is a local identity, heavily involved in local footy up here and doesn't show any inclination to want to move up in coaching.

Hudson is very interesting however.  He is from Victoria, has brief history with our club (albeit unproductive like TW) and by all reports was very good at the coaching caper in the bush.  I know Monk rates him very highly (not that all on here will see that as a positive ;) ).  He could be a dark horse for a spot on next year's coaching panel.

Hudson had a good record at Gippsland Power in the TAC Cup IIRC so the second development coaching job may be his go. Mike tonight on 3aw said he will see Victoria as home now and shouldn't have a problem getting a job.

A few ex-Tigers in the coaching news.

Chris Bond at Freo is trying to get Leon Cameron to leave his assistant coaching job at the Dogs and head west.

Scotty Burns may retire and seek an assistant coaching role...

Quote
It is understood Burns has been approached by several clubs to consider a potential assistant coaching role, with candidates including Port Adelaide and Carlton.

Burns, 33, told the Sunday Herald Sun, which listed Geelong as a front-runner for his services should he retire, he would discuss his future with Malthouse in coming days before deciding on whether to continue his 265-game career.

Richardson would've been a handy development coach alongside McRae but c'est la vie. I guess any new assistant roles can't happen until we eventually  ::) appoint our new director of football.

Micky was a part-time assistant coach at Punt Rd under Plough before leaving for a full-time gig under Grant Thomas in his last year at the Saints. Don't think he'll leave his media morning gig on Sport 927 now and seems happier coaching suburban footy. He just coached Keilor to a premiership upsetting Greenvale in the Essendon District FL Grand Final.

Would be worth considering IMHO.  Speaks very well, got the most out of his abilities on the field, played many years under one of the best coaches and doesn't put up with any crap.
