Neil Craig.... something about basketballers?

[Felch]

They have history, they took Brad Moran

Two words...

Jonathon Hay...

[Booney]

I'd take Hay over Moran each and every day of the week.

[Felch]

I'd actually take neither...

[NFC]

No flag for 10 years,what have they done fantastically well on?

well Ben Rutten and Nathan Bock, Jason Porplyzia all came off our rookie list Booney ... No premierships in the last 10 years but these three players, after being rookie listed, are the most likely too lead us to our next flag i think booney

And Mattner, Bassett and Griffin. Only the latter remains but we've picked up some rippers from the rookie draft (well, Melb rookied Bassett)

[Dutchy]

Two words...

Jonathon Hay...

Whats Hay got to do with this arguement?

and Yes I wasnt happy Moran left the Roos....and I was proven right last year, has untold potential....again Im not sure why that was brought up

As for basketballers, Brogan has been pretty good for Port hasnt he?

Yeh but how long till Neil Craig lets one or two of these guys leave the club. His good at doing that..

I don't think Bock, Rutten or the porpus will be leaving anytime soon. What do you mean by that Bubbula?

Modra, Hudson, Welsh, Mattner, Skipworth...

[Bubbula]

The crows will never ever be a serious contender under Niel Craig.. And when they may have been he has screwed them.. A couple Neil Craig master strokes come to mind:
I think it was 2005 when he trained his squad like dogs going into round one of that finals series and it did nothing but trouble them...
And then there was the Chris Massie-Buddy Franklin master stroke. Surely Scott Stevens or Ben Rutten could have taken him. He beat him in 90% of the contests and ultimately cost the Crows the game.

This is clearly not true. In 2006 and 2005 Adelaide were contenders so this has already happened. Even though you are bagging the crows (which means your heart is in the right place LOL), this statement is clearly inaccurate. I prefer to say that the Professor's experiments only work during Autumn and Winter and fizzle out in the spring and that he will never be a premiership coach.

I misunderstood mate, i thought you were having a dig...

I was just stirring anyway.

I get this feeling that Moran will never live up to the potential he has. On rare occasions he looks the goods, but i reckon his AFL career will be short-lived. I hope i am wrong though.

Maric has a basketball background too.

I didn't matter who played on Buddy that day. I was there, and he was unstoppable. If Stevens had of played on him, he would have kicked 15 !!! Don't forget, Massie well and truly beat Franklin earlier in the year.

[Hondo]

Felch, ignore him

Clearly a hater, let him stew in it all he wants.

Neil Craig cant coach. The day you guys make a GF under him I will come on here just to cop your shit. I dont believe this will ever be. And for the record, I am a Lions man and hate the Power. I do like the Crows but think that can do with a change up top..

When I say serious contender I mean a dominate force is the AFL... They havent been for a while now..

If consecutive preliminary finals don't constitute being a force....

Yeh, they lost them both.. thats not a force. A force wins when it matters

[KEYDEFENDER]

I think Guys on Adelaides list that have BB background are

Tippet
Maric
Henderson

Hudson use to play ABA also.

All have potential for success.

The Chris Massie-Buddy Franklin match up did nothing to change the result of the game. Massie is quicker than both Rutten and Stevens. So he has them beaten there. Buddy is going to outmark any of the smaller defenders and as a result we dont have a clear match up for him. Criag rational was that massie could keep up with him better if the ball was not delivered properly due to midfield pressure. from buddies bag that day 2 came from contested marks the rest were clean delivery out in front of him which no adelaide or other club's defender would have got near.

Craig is the man for the job at crow land he just needs to build the squad which IMO opinion as a member he is doing.
