Neil Craig

Featured Replies

 

Mark Neeld could trump Neil Craig, but I totally agree that getting Neil Craig was a simply massive coup for this club.

I recall Paul Roos saying On The Couch earlier this year - shortly after Craig resigned from the Crows in fact - that all of the coaches in the competition rated Craig as an absolutely elite coach who enjoyed the respect of everyone without reservation. Roos said, in his time coaching the Swans, the Crows were amongst the most consistently professional, well drilled teams in the comp - and this simply reflected how professional Craig was/is.

IMO Neeld + Craig + Misson will prove to be an amazing trifecta for the MFC.

I hope you are correct as we have invested heavily in the player list through drafts, now we have invested in their development.I feel the real smokie in the coaches panel will be Brown.

I just want to see all our coaches work real well together. So they can all be great.
 
I'm surprised that I haven't read more about the issue of NC Sherking the question about him not defining his role. Does anyone know what he is doing definitively? Or is his role a work in progress? I cant think of the club or anyone explaining it to the point I can understand it!

It's relatively clear to me, and just as clearly defined as any other role at the football club.

Maybe the problem is with your comprehension?

Maybe you could try and definitively explain it to me, rather than get personal

Nice way to welcome a new guy to the board.

Don't let the slagging get to you.

I was a newbie not so long ago, just remember who slagged you and get back at him/her.

Also don't bother replying to some yobbo who wont even divilge what his/her gender or other information.

To me he/she is a loser especially if they have the time to sit at a computer and average 5 posts per day.

A newbie who seems to be consistently negative and critical re Neeld, Craig etc.etc. Not surprised that he's getting a chilly reception.

Not sure I'm negative to either Neeld or Craig. I'm just unsure about Neil's role and Mark's media performance. I like both guys and see the benefits both guys have brought to the club. I apologize if it seems negative. But I have not made any blanket statements on either one of them.

That's the problem with written material, it gets lost in translation

This is a an ironic post...

And that second line is healthy.

I don't think many of us know how Neil is going to operate.

I think it is at the point where the footy media says he is the 'footy chief' but what would that make Josh Mahoney...

I am certain that they have some idea of where the fit but I am pretty sure Neeld will stamp his authority on the FD as the buck stops at his desk.

But, yeah, messy.

In one of his 1st interviews he said that one of his main functions was to ensure the coaching staff worked together cohesively as a team to ensure an elite program was delivered.

    Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.

    It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

  • DRAFT: The Next Generation

    It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

  • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

    A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
