    My take is he is telling the AFL where the list is at, nothing more, nothing less.

    I read that into it as well.

    It does seem to be quite a backflip though. I recall him explicitly stating that this group of players could take the club forward. Now there is scoffing at the suggestion of a quick turnaround like he did at Adelaide, because Adelaide had "quality".

    This list can take the club forward. Just not in the short term, and that's the difference. Well, that's how I read it!

    It seemed to go beyond that. There was a pretty clear implication that the list lacked the quality needed to turn things around, period. I think rjay is correct in interpreting it as a message to AFL House.

    Or the coaching selection panel?

    I'm not one for wild rumours but my old man is up in Brisbane at the moment for work and believes he saw Craig up there on Monday night.

    I was told by a mate fairly involved at Brisbane that Target 1 is Roos Target 2 is Craig, so i wouldn't be suprised at all if he ends up in Brisbane, and he has done the right thing by our club so i wouldn't be too annoyed if he did choose to leave.

    Interesting that most of the reporters doing their predictions on AFL.com have Choco Williams coaching us and Adam simpson coaching the Lions, haven't really heard a rumour of either of those things happening like there has been with others, wouldn't be a bad outcome for anyone imo.

    Surely we wouldn't hire Craig until we are 100% sure that this drugs mess is sorted and he is in no way implicated?

    Then again, it's Melbourne, and it would be a typical rookie move.

    Was Craig waiting at Brisbane Airport for the 3:30am flight back to Melbourne perchance?

    As exciting as that would be, I'm afraid not. It was at the Grand Central Hotel, Brisbane.

    Craig will not get the top job if he is in the frame for supplements. In fact, he will not get the top job if it is suspected he may be in the frame.

    A lot of old guys look like Craigy eg the bloke in the Bunnings ad.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      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.
