    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: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
