Dimma: "How much are we paying you?"
If we were getting smashed in the clearances, I'm pretty sure you wouldn't put your two best clearance players away from the clearances.

If true, could prove particularly problematic. I'm not keen on the club getting a senior coach fresh from his demise at another club and in a non- senior coaching role at his new club. I'd rather someone who has a couple of years in the background to reflect on his coaching career and learn by his mistakes, then help a struggling side to get their mojo.

Collingwood is the most professional and well run club at the minute, they are the reigning premiers and flying again this season and look like going back to back.
They have had 2 years to work out what a Director of Coaching will do and even they still can`t work it out.
Yet we think we can do it and make it work with a bloke who the game has passed by.
How about we get the bloody basics right at Richmond first.

Incline to agree Toigs - straight back into it would be a mistake IMO - for both parties. Would he even want to leave the big town of Adelaide? Respect him but pass for now..
If Craig is available and we do not get him, this will be a management failure.
He is a very good expert on the game, experienced in what is required and a football fitness guru.
Which box is not required to be ticked at Richmond?
The players need contemporary football mangement skills. I am not saying Dimma, Lade etc can't do it, but this guy adds heaps to our coaching skill level. We need that and the opportunity gifted by the idiots in Adelaide must not be missed.
It is also an assessment of Dimma. If he feels threatened, that is a statement of his insecurity and not a statement of what this playing group needs.

I would rather throw double the money at Malthouse to come home and then a little more to get Balmey to join him.
Have heard from a bloke whose son was a moderately succesful but somewhat injury maligned crow and his take on Craig is similar to an earlier post in that he drives some into the ground and that sometimes he is to "scientific". Maybe the bleatings of an axed hack or the prophetic vision of a modern day footballing sage.

They are yesterday. The 70's were wonderful. Malthouse not going anywhere. Balme has not been involved in coaching since early 2000's. The world has moved on. He is a good management guy, but he is not a coaches as..............

They are yesterday????
One is about to be a back to back premiership coach and the other has been involved in managing arguably the best team over the last 5 years, yeap they are yesterdays men. Its not like we need any of their wisdom.
Malthouse to assist Hardwick and guide him through
Balme to run the footy department.
Its a pipedream but hey, why not at least put it on the table.
