We're about to lose a Great Man

My reservation is that he was overseeing Neeld. And if Neeld failed then Craig failed,

Other than that I like what I see,

I wonder if the problem want what Neeld was doing but how he went about it.

Maybe Craig thought his plan was sound, thought his analysis was sane. But if he lost the players there isn't much Craig can do but try and support.

If his plan and tactics were all crazy like then I'd agree, Craig should have been overseeing that.

    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.

    He's contracted for next year and l think he will stay.

    so if Roos pulls out of the race and Craig stays on as coach we will not only have a great coach but will also save about 1 million dollars next season

    Definitely a great plan B

    You missed a few steps.

    Kick goals and score more points then the opposition.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
