Well said. I rate Malthouse highly and think he could have taken our squad to a premiership. He's incredible at wringing performance out of average lists. Ours, arguably, had more talent than Collingwood over the last few years.
Whereas Malthouse finds a way to win when the odds are against him, Craig finds a way to lose when the odds are with him. Harsh but true.
Well yes I have to agree with you. Thats why I just cant understand why Port Adelaide Power didn't wait until the end of this season to sack pathetic Williams, to sound out Mick Malthouse about trying to wring a respectable performance out of Port's less than average list.
Couldn't agree more, get the straight jacket and the butterfly net out!!
"top 2 coaches in the land" LOL!
NC has so many deficiencies its not funny, how many (serious) season ruining/ game losing mistakes can a head coach make before serious questions are asked
Drugs Are Bad Mackay?

Thank goodness we don't.
You guys must be real good shit stirrers or absolute idiots.
Care to elaborate, Craig said it, I think it is a stupid suggestion of Craigs, you dont?
I think that what Craig was trying to emphasize the fact that if he wanted to try different things out, it could be done easier if he had more control.Care to elaborate, Craig said it, I think it is a stupid suggestion of Craigs, you dont?
Which he would have if the AFC had a reserve team.
The outrageous claim that he could use taylor in defense was never meant to be taken literally.

Why even open his mouth to say it ? Should have kept his trap shut. Bloody ridiculous comment.

He mentioned playing Walker in defence at his press conference after the St Kilda game as well.

There are some players who can play forward and back and some that are either natural forwards or defenders.
Walker is a natural forward.

He said you were OFFENSIVE not OFFENDED.
Not sure that helps?
That's NOT what he said at all! Cheeky!

Actually he's correct. I found the way you misconstrued my post deliberately to be a bit offensive.

That post is laughable, you say Craig is a top coach yet his list managment is deplorable, by for two years ignoring trading, keeping veterens past their used by date and now finding we have a lack of depth and lack of experience, because it all walked out in foul swoop, another bloody AFC/NC YES person
You are one of the most negative, hateful people sometimes. Seriously, I can just imagine you with a hood, pitchfork and flaming torch.
I appreciate you don't like anything about Craig or the present board, or staff or... hell anyone related to the Crows really.
Must be crap to be you. Neil Craig has his faults. Name me ONE AFL coach that doesn't! And like everyone else in here is saying, I believe "he's got one year to get things right" (substantial improvement). But FFS, let him have a go without criticising every single little thing. YOU are the ridiculous one at times, fair dinkum.
You tell me how you would have handled the delisting/trading/ etc better and be specific - ie. Which of the old fellas would you have delisted earlier? (Don't say Bird and Hentschell because I already said that should have happened, but understand why it didn't); who would you have traded? Who would you have traded for? What would that have meant in terms of who we would have missed out on in the picks that we would have had to give away as a result of the trade? And in the end result, would ANY of that made a difference to this year?

I seem to recall various players making public comments in support of him... etc
NB. I am not disputing your version of events, but just amused at how many people think there is no difference between public and private opinions.
This debate is really worn out... the facts are NC is here for the next year. All the veterans are gone, the list has a lot of upside in it from here on in.
blah blah...
Preseason needs work to lessen the injury count.
Goal kicking needs work blah blah
Zone still needs some work blah blah
Individuals all have their own areas to work on...
Suck it up... and lets see where cards fall next year... I don't think we're really achieving much here any more.
