So with all the movement that has taken place, from a coaching point of view, what places still need to be filled?

Midfield has been taken care of/filled - Royal/Greaves

Royal moving to the midfield opens up for a new back-line coach and Mahoney moving into footy manager paths the way for a new forward coach too. Plus, Neeld might go after a senior assistant coach as well.

Maybe Craig might become the latter, maybe he won't. Good acquisition if he came on board, wouldn't be upset if he didn't. More curious as to who will fill the coaching roles of fwd/backline.

I disagree - Icke would be a greater asset than Craig. We are weak in this area , thus C.C moving to a totally new area & Mahoney hasn't even cut his teeth in his new role as Football Manager. Icke, if he came in would basically become C.S's deputy & designated CEO IMO.This is an area the club needs to strengthen & cover..

    i think craig is still a great fit and would live him at the dees, the current coaching/admin staff have proved themselves when it comes to landing big names misson/neeld/rawlings (all with interest from other clubs), hopefully we see neil in the red and blue next year

    Hagdorn is performing his usual routine, drawing long bows and making wild assumptions in a desperate attempt to look like had the inside word.

    It may be a "shock" move to him, but according to the Herald Sun it has been expected for some time as Icke & Ratten don't see eye to eye.

    We wait.

    Steven Icke has been sacked by the Blues and the rumour mill is working overtime stating that Neil Craig will join them. Our friends at Sportsnews First are at it again:

    So we can assume from this that he's not headed to Carlton?

    The way this is going we will have more off field personnel than players.

    Hope we don't forget that these guys don't actually play!

    Well I can't keep up. Michaelangelo Rucci claims we have won Neil Craig's aka Craig David's services and an announcement will be made today.

    Great get if that's the case - looking like a top little team we're putting together to support Neeld!

    - from article.

    I wonder if it was Kim that was the only one who had a dramatic turn.

    Will there be another turn and another article...lol...stay tuned.

    Good coup by the Dees... starting to build a solid coaching staff one to rival the best in the league, first time in a long time I can remember that being case.

    simma02, I quite like this sentence by Rucci.

    NEIL Craig is ready to declare his future in AFL football ... and it is at Melbourne.
    from that link.

    He posted this at 12:20pm, Kim at 1:10pm. Must have clicked on Rucci's update...

    Anyway.....well done Melbournefc.

    This is a very good appointment for the MFC,

    Craig is super experienced, as so many wanted after yesterday, and has specialties in fitness

    Also a big win when 4-6 other clubs were after him

  • Quote

    whether Craig is a beautiful fit for the jigsaw of MFC success, only time will tell. But what I do like is that good people are choosing to come to this footy club. The culture is changing...early days so far.

    If it's true that we have beaten several other clubs and the AFL for his services it is an enormous pr win to us. It shows we are moving ahead and will leave no stone unturned in order to improve. The players must be excited with the new people coming in many of whom are leaders in their field.

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      Who would have imagined, when the season kicked off early last month, that Melbourne would emerge from the opening six weeks with wins over both Queensland powerhouses? At the time, Gold Coast and Brisbane were the competition’s early pace-setters, the flavours of the month, and the prospect of the Demons toppling both within the course of a fortnight seemed remote. Yet here they are, banking those scalps alongside home victories over two traditional Victorian rivals and building a quietly impressive resume.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      From the outset, the Casey Demons lacked any spring in their steps. They were out-hustled and out-bustled and finally outplayed by the Brisbane Lions by 38 points on their home turf in perfect conditions at Casey Fields.
