The footy department boss of @Richmond_FC, Craig Cameron, about to quit. More on http://afl.com.au soon

Damien Barrett just tweeted it. Hope he isnt going back into recruiting.

Strange time to quit. Could be nothing. Could be related to all things happening. If a player, coach, club administrator, club doctor or mascot farts at the moment I think it's related to PED's so probably nothing.

RICHMOND has began a thorough search for a new general manager of football operation following the shock resignation of Craig Cameron.

Cameron informed the Tigers that he is seeking a challenge outside the AFL, and will soon commence work as chief executive of BC3 Thoroughbreds.

The highly respected football administrator has headed Richmond's football department for the past five years after a stint as Melbourne recruiting manager.

Strange timing to say the least.

I wonder if we can expect some Tiger tantrums in the next few days.

The year of the Snake is moving along nicely.

Hope he knows more about thoroughbreds than he does about recruiting footballers. You get the feeling that he was working for the Tigers for more than the last five years.

Will always be known for taking Luke Molan at pick 9 in the superdraft ahead of 50 other blokes that had decent careers.

The Cale Morton one is just as bad...

I need a drink.

I don't want to seem like a CC apologist but I believe Molan was a Daniher decision and was the all in for a flag list management decision and the poor development that followed was really a club wide problem in the late Daniher into the Bailey years. He had his fair share of reasonable selections - Frawley, Garland, Davey, Jones, Grimes. I feel others like Rivers, Miller, Sylvia, McLean and Bartram could have made it in the right sides.

I might be way off the mark but to me he was an average recruiter who then brought guys into a less than average team in terms of development.

I think it's a big call to link him to any ACC dealings. I wish him good luck and seeing as though Richmond seemed to find some kind of steady period under his recent direction I'm always happy for them to resume shooting themselves in the foot!

He was probably one of the first football people to contribute to fan forums such as this.

I respect him for his contribution to the MFC and wish him well.

Careful Ben, you'll start to get a reputation for being level-headed!

There aren't enough intelligent people in the world for that to ever happen.

There are so many reasons to dislike this short post:

a) It was widely reported that Daniher gave instruction on choosing Luke Molan.

b) Many thought Morton wasn't a bad choice at the time.

c) Why do people butcher every possible committee man, player, servant of the club?

We loved it when CC came onto 'ology/Land at the time ... it gave us gravitas.

That is all.

Top bloke in my experience - wish him the best!

If that's the basis we use when hiring our recruiters we will remain on the bottom forever. We need ruthless, someone that doesn't consider anyone out of bounds not just a bloke that everyone likes.

Not having a go at you just stating an opinion.

I think if you reflect you will see that as one of your poorer posts.

I thought you were going to go along the lines of "we should hire the best, whether they be a good bloke or not."

Instead we got a recommendation to hire Stephen Dank...

Craig was great for us and great for the club in terms of his relationship with supporters. That definitely went backwards when Barry Prendergast came in and soon after the Demonland/Demonology sponsorship died.

Good luck in your new career, CAC!

^^^ Unfortunately, not a KPI for a Recruitment Manager though...

Not sure how you arrived at that conclusion, I said go after anyone (player) not anything.

If Buddy is available I want us to go after him not roll over and assume he wouldn't want to come to Melbourne; anything wrong with that?

On excellent information Chris Connolly is a top bloke too.

I agree in he was great in coming on and giving us the insight but lets be realistic, when we think of that superdraft we think of that selection. Whether it was danihers choice or not CAC still cops the flak for it and always will.

He's also got a big mouth that sometimes gets him in to trouble.

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
