Neil Craig is an impressive Human.

Upon stepping into his new role he as approached and discussed everything with energy, knowledge and visible heart.

The man has a heart as big as Phar Lap.

The players obviously really appreciate him.

In saying that I honestly don't know whether he's the man to take the team onwards or not.

If we go in another direction Craig will most likely go.

It's quite a disappointing state of affairs, and one worth noting i feel.

Hehe..wow, we really were starved for a win.

He's been in the job 2 weeks mate. You've gone a tad early on the "Phar Lap heart".

Nice choice of avatar by the way. Bernard is a personal hero of mine.

It's almost at the point where if getting a new coach (ie Paul Roos) would mean losing Neil Craig, the loss would outweigh any potential benefit gained by hiring the new coach.

It's Craig all the way for me, unless we can keep him around AND get Paul Roos. Talk about a dream team. There's no chance of the players not liking those two coaches, both of whom have shown they know a bit about footy too.

At least he has the rest of the season to prove himself, unlike the other candidates. So far I'm a fan and enjoy hearing him speak in the media

Surely PJ will be able to find the incentive to keep Craig at the club, even if it's not in the role of Head Coach. That is if Jacko thinks he should stay and has what we need.

I bloody hope so, he has another year to go on his contract doesn't he? Not with standing the lose of his football knowledge and ability to connect with players another pay out in the $400k mark would just about end it for me.

Personally, I am really warming to Neil Craig. His first address to the players contained a pressure relieving: "The only stat I care about is goals." I have reservations about the one-dimensional style of play he used at Adelaide, but he is an enthusiastic sponge of all things sport (including sports science, which may involve complications down the track), so there's a fair chance he would modify his Adelaide style.

Agree on all 3 counts.

"Yes, yes, I'm a horrible bastard".

    PREGAME: Rd 11 vs St. Kilda

    The Demons return to the MCG to take on the Saints in Round 11 on the back of two straight losses in a row. With Jake Lever out with concussion who comes in and who goes out?

    VOTES: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Last week Captain Max Gawn consolidated his lead over reigning champion Christian Petracca in the Demonland Player of the Year Award. Steven May, Alex Neal-Bullen & Jake Lever make up the Top 5. Your votes for the loss against the Blues. 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak
