I'm not sure about this WYL. They claim the players like him but after Neeld you'd like Attilla the Hun. I really want Roos but if he does not want the job - I don't want Eade. Maybe choko.

BBO i just like Neil Craig experience within the club.

But i think his coaching (Match Day) is done.

He was bought in as a mentor & that is where we need him to stay.

Nup. Has to go.

I'm tipping that all the assistants will go at season's end.

Gavin Brown will get the gig and bring in modern, hard, contemporary ex footballers as assistants.

Ling, Simpson, Kirk and Woewodin will join him.

Watch the place go off!

Eade/Williams are cooked.

Jumbo, have you been drinking?

You are too young to be drinking this much Df26

being a melbourne supporter cancels out such things OD

It is a sure sign of insanity !

maybe someone should give a spirited speech to the players about how the whole of demonland has gone insane or become heavy drinkers.

Id have no qualms addressing the team........id even be somewhat constrained

you're a better man than i then BB hahha

Can I just say that last Saturday or the North game was not a reflection on Craig as a coach.

He doesn't need to prove anything to anyone - and maybe as MFC supporters we can't see when people outside our sphere have achieved something.

He is a good coach.

I agree as I have said before JC could not get anymore from 90% of this list.

If you made a modicum of sense you wouldn't even know my name.

Ohhh shucks. And there I was thinking that I was on your ignore list. Bwahahahah!

rpfc your analogy is delusional.

Losing by 6 goals to GW$ & 122 points the week before puts a very big black mark against Neil Craig as our future match day coach.

That said i still wish him employed as a MENTOR within the club

Neil's coaching days are cooked.

They're cooked because of our list WYL***. Not because of his coaching ability.

I said it before but if Roos took over this week, we would still lose to to Gold Coast on the weekend.

If they don't get rid of the underlying problem at Melbourne then it doesn't mater who's coach they will still be [censored]. We have had a few coaches who have got something out of the players but overall in the last 50 years we have been miles away from a flag and when we get to the point where we have the side that can win one that problem surfaces, hence the miles away.

There have been Melbourne sides over the last 20 years, that as a group, with a different club, would have given it a fair shake and probably won one but the issue we have at Melbourne turns good sides in to poor ones and good playrs in to under achievers. IMO the issue is the MCC and always will be.

Get Choco.

He will transform this club. He'll make it a footy club for the first time since 1964.

And he won't take any carp from the Toorak set who, for their own political reasons, have sought to control (and in doing so strangle the guts out of) this club for too long.

He'll also own the sheds and inject some real culture into the joint.

No brainer. For this club in the current circumstances at least.

What analogy?

Craig is being ajudged a bad coach because of the last two weeks. Not only is that unfair, it is wholly misrepresenting of the fact that he has already proven he can coach elsewhere.

And while I still have Roos and Williams above him - that is why he is a chance to coach next year.

Proven coach, proven culture.

No-one can stear this shipwreck as you and stmj and OD have already said.

But if we went for Craig next year then I would understand and get behind a bloke that knows what a successful culture and club looks like.

If Roos continues to say no, and I believe he most definitely will, then Mark Williams is our man. We need someone to take this playing list by the scruff if the neck and shake it, hard. We need a coach who will not just enhance our players belief in themselves and their team, but revolutionise it. Does anyone seriously think that Rodney Eade has that ability?

Having said that, the above post got me thinking that perhaps, and I stress perhaps, a Craig/Eade team could play such a roll. But I only believe that with Eade and Craig working with the players together there is a possibility they can do the required job, one without the other will simply not be enough.

You are kidding yourself if you think Craig is a chance to coach the club next season.

And while I still have Roos and Williams above him - that is why he is a chance to coach next year.

_{I spoke to Matty Boyd recently and asked him about Rocket. He was very underwhelming in his support of RE. Matt said that the older players would enjoy playing under Eade, but not neccessarily the younger ones. (That's 3/4 of our list.) I think the insinuation was that Eade had lost touch with young people and had trouble communicating with them.}
