Out: Richardson In: Craig?

After Ratts pumped up Alan Richardson for the Cows job the other day, what do you think if we did a swap for Neil Craig?

Boys on Foxtel's AFL Teams reckon Craigy is keen to stay in footy and would leave SA for the right job.

Personally, I'd prefer if Richardson stayed for at least one more year, but it's probably only a matter of time before he gets a senior gig.

Not sure how good Craig is tactically. I think he would be great in a Neil Balme football manager type role.

Richardson might be one of those guys, like Brian Royal, who eventually get passed over that often they're never seriously considered for a senior job.

I hope he stays on too.

Yeah, would agree with that.

Neil Craig as football manager would be a tremendous acquisition.

I reckon development is his game from now on, seems to be his main strength. I think he gets out-coached a fair bit so I don't think he'd be a great choice for a senior assistant.

Without trying to be too much of stirrer, I'd much prefer Alan Richardson to stay with us as senior coach.

No offence to Ratt's, I just get the feeling Richo is the brains in this relationship.

What? You mean like Malthouse?

Malthouse is out of a job - Mudpies think he is to old

I think we should accept that (assuming Ratts keeps his job) that Richardson will get a senior gig sooner rather than later. He's very respected and has been floating around the system for a long time under different bosses. Someone will give him a shot.

Whilst we're on the topic of Adelaide.

What's Marc Rucciutto up to these days? I always had a feeling he'd make a good coach or assistant coach.
