Reported on the Footy Show by Damian Barrett that Brisbane are going to offer Neil Craig a position as Director Of Football.

Barrett went onto further say that the RFC are also interested in offering Neil a similar position as well.
 
Yep, we would be crazy if we didn't. His experience in fitness and his senior coaching experience would make him a good mentor for Hardwick / Hornsby.

I have mixed feelings about this . I know he has a great reputation as a fitness guru but I reckon if you did the statistics on adelaide they would have had one of the highest level of soft tissue injuries of any teams .
I have a friend in adelaide who thinks that Craig trained players too hard and ran them into the ground making the susceptible to injury .
 
Don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing when considering a Director of Football, but Neil Craig is an absolute control freak as a coach.
 
this would quite possibly be the most pro-active move I've seen by Richmond in years- it would really give me hope that they are leaving no stone unturned in getting genuinely competative.

Unfortunately I doubt it'll happen - sounds too good to be true. :(

Interesting that Brisbane are in the mix. Thought he and Vossy might not be able to get along. Very strong willed people.

I tend to assume anything about RFC from Barrett is an attempt to destabilise the club.
 
Sure, if Beavis is aware of what the club is after. If not, then I'll consider it Barrett mud raking

Brisbane have just finished their review. By the sounds of it I dont think this decision is entirely up to Vossy.

I'd take 3-4 hamstring tears if it meant the other 35 players didnt look like a bunch of school kids running around like we are atm.

Would love Craig at the club.
 
Neil would be a great addition to Dimma in the coaching box.

Dimma: "We're getting smashed in the clearances. Neil?"

Craig: "Send Dangerfield to the forward line to work in tandem with Dusty."
