This is great news!

I hope they have many years together.

Maybe I've missed something, but what's this about?

Don't you remember the cream for Trengove leg which was supplied by dank

 

I wonder how many Bummer fans with long memories are uncomfortable with the appointment of Whelan the Wrecker to their staff after his treatment of their Golden Boy in a final . Personally , I would be devastated if , for example, Dean Wallis ever got a gig with us after his targetting of the teenage Brad Green in the 2000 G.F.

I remember that, but what involvement, if any, did Neeld and Craig have in that action? I thought the doctor acted on his own. Your post suggests that Neeld and Craig were somehow directly involved in the matter. I'm not sure that they were.

when did recommended/offered become supplied?

i believe(?) also that in cream form it can just be obtained by prescription

It was for the foot.

We demand a refund!

I personally rate Craig as a coach and person, he's a good man and knows his stuff.

Neeld was a the wrong fit for our club, but Collingwood can't speak highly enough of him even now so he may do well,

 

I have a lot of time for Neil Craig. Top Bloke, but i wish he had stood up and taken more control once Neeld had lost the players.

He even admitted the same. He was too passive

Always rated Craig as a good sergeant.

Some people are just good at certain things and should never be given the reins.


Both Neeld and Craig... oh mercy... are these guys on the gear or what?

I think Craigy did the best with what he had when he was caretaker. He was given a bum hand and there wasn't much he could have done to turn the place around.

You are right WYL. I remember Craig saying at a presser that he could see things going wrong during Neeld's tenure and that he wish he had said more. The question that would need to be asked though is: would Neeld have listened?

They're not monsters. Neeld was merely incompetent - the club made the mistake of appointing him. I suspect that Craig was so excited by the lifestyle of a real city that he took his eyes off the ball (and got falconned).

They're the drug cheats problem now.

Neeld should have had no choice but to listen.

Craig was there as a mentor. But he was too nice.

He genuinely loved the players and probably got on well with Neeld and co.

Probably too well. He should have stood up after Round 2 2013.

It wasn't hard to see the club was in crisis from that moment.

  • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

    As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.
