CibbuanoRawlings, McRae leave Tigers
September 16th 2009 00:24
RICHMOND assistant coaches Jade Rawlings and Craig McRae have left the Tigers to join Brisbane.
Rawlings was caretaker coach in the second half of the 2009 season after Terry Wallace stood down.
He applied for the top job which was given to two-time premiership defender Damien Hardwick.
Before replacing Wallace in round 12, Rawlings coached Richmond's VFL affiliate Coburg Tigers for one-and-a-half seasons.
McRae, who was the the club's development coach, took over from Rawlings as Coburg coach mid-year.
The pair who were with Richmond for three seasons will now be assistant coaches at the Lions - the club which McRae played in three straight premierships with.
The news comes in the wake of the departure of Richmond assistants Brian Royal and David King and forward scout Gordon Casey.
Former Tigers skipper and midfield coach Wayne Campbell is the only member of this year's coaching panel that will stay on under Hardwick.
Meanwhile, Richmond midfielder Shane Tuck has agreed to be traded to another club.
