Here is an excerpt from todays Advertiser by the one and only Michaelangeo Rucci,

Craig has repeatedly called on his club's fans to carry a vision of how the Crows will play. Today they prefer to shut their eyes to block out the nightmare which has unfolded against Melbourne, Port Adelaide and the Western Bulldogs in the past three weeks. Basic skill errors, turn-overs, a lack of competiveness in the critical midfield and a dysfunctional attack make Adelaide as Cometti says, a "chore" to watch.

You can't be serious surely

even if i was anti-NC, Plough would be the LAST guy I'd want.

He'll never coach an AFL team again after Richmond.

Have a look at the Richmond board on BigFooty. They are mostly dirtier on Plough than you are on NC. In fact, the other popular alternative name, Malthouse, is copping similar comments from some Collingwood supporters - "where's the spirit gone", "where are we heading", "get Bucks in now", etc.

NC was a midfielder - he doesn't seem to know how to use big men - he seems to want them to be tall midfielders.
He had my support in the early years, but I think the Crows peaked a few years ago and will not progress further with this game plan.

I think it's irrelevant where NC played when he was still taking the field, in fact it wasn't even the same game in those days.

I was suggesting that his background shapes his perspective, and that, as a result, he undervalues the less mobile bigger players who may at least be able to take a contested mark, and wants to make them learn to run around like mid-fielders before he can see a place for them in the team..
