Yeah right, because it wasn't as if the declining quality in output from our old sages and some poor turnovers cost us or anything, not to mention that we were up against strong opposition.

Personally I think he is an exceptional coach, I've always thought it, easily the best coach the Crows have had IMHO. (Yes I know a lot of people will say Blight but we all have our own opinions and reasons for those)

I missed the 3rd quarter and most of the 2nd so from the parts I saw he was a 5 goal better coach than Malthouse! :lol:

In those parts Malthaouse was a 10 goal better coach. I might not renew my membership next year. we may as well have finished last and get the better draft picks.

Craig has to go, he will never win the Crows a Flag but will get them into finals only to be done year in and year out. when will the Board wake up that a genuine footy coach will when the stakes are on the line outcoach a sports scientist. FFS the Crows were 5 to 6 goals in front of Collingwoods Reserves side tonight and lost, pack ya bags Mr Craig you are no longer wanted

you are a tosser locky! the winning goal was kicked from a free kick that was given in the magpies forward 50! yes they should not have given up the lead from quarter but it was not craig that lost it for them.
very upset was hoping to have a melbourne trip but that is how footy goes. 1 team wins and 1 team loses! :( :( :(

And if the Crows won you would be singing Craig's praises. Weak effort cos your not always going to make a grand final or win a flag

Bad Call....

Neil Craig is not to blame for us missing easy shots on goal in the 2nd qtr or us getting hammered in the middle of the ground in the 3rd qtr... He threw numbers back to stop the bleeding, he had no other choice..

He's growing and developing this young list and I hope you guys eat your words in a few years time..

Previous Coaches
Robert Shaw = Dud
Gary Ayres = Dud

Graham Cornes - gave up an 8 goal lead in a prelim...

Name who else you guys want if you keep calling for his head :roll: :roll:
Port Power has 16 years history at Football Park...

The Port Magpies have 40 years history and the two shall never be confused or combined

no s@&t idiot!!! of course adelaide supporters would be praising the whole team and coaching staff! but they lost and we cant help that. but if they could they would have prefered rutten not to go up for that mark and give away the free kick! that is footy and it could of happened to any player and any coach!!!!!

Reserves side? You tool.
Sports scientist? Yeah he no football credentials at all. You idiot.

No win tonight, but the side is on the rise and Craig has done a very good job with the rookies coming through to make the side exceptionally competitive, week in week out.
Crows were never a flag contender this year, it was always Saints or the Cats (who will win comfortably next week).

Stick to the amateurs locky, cause that's what you are.
