Henderson is described by the following words:
-soft
-gutless
-scared

How can he keep his spot and Walker cant? Neil Craig should be sacked simply for that selection. Bloody disgraceful Henderson is still getting a game

Yea, we can pull out individual moments but TBH Collingwood was all over Adelaide like an army of fat kids on 22 helpless tasty little cupcakes.

Punch, Mark, doesn't matter really, it was black and white everywhere. It needed to be a team effort to get back into the game, and Adelaide was rooted all over the ground.


Sorry mate, but I'd say that individual moments most certainly matter .. If you take the attitude that they don't, then the players won't ever take the right options in future situations.

As I'd said previously, my discussing a pet hate wasn't solely related to this game yesterday because it happens all the time, it's just something in footy that I don't understand (particularly if that's the way so many modern footballers are instructed)


Shouldn't that be something that the coach(es) pick up... What are people thoughts with Craigy continuing coaching from the sideline, as opposed to up in the stands. I believe as a head coach you should be up in the stands getting the overall perspective of the game and making the moves required - not on the side lines talking to individual players... that can be down to the assistants etc. I believe he is providing a assistant coaching role not a head coaching role... which IMHO he is much better suited to, given his knowledge into individual performers, history on fitness and also his apparent reluctance to alter his plans in the heat of battle.

I agree with you there CK. Hendo just hasn't been up to it this year so far. Has great potential, but needs some time in the SANFL for sure.

Ive noticed in the crows forum, that i can not comment on because of the stupid site rules, that you have been a critic of him. I have not been a fan of him since he shirked the issue against the power in the second showdown last year. Did you see in the final quarter, when the crows needed a goal, he ran into a contest, did not bend over and tried to kick it up to himself/a teammate? the bloke is soft, and you simply cant have that in footy!

Even if they didn't pick up on it on matchday they would have to in the review process .. The fact it keeps happening though suggests it's a practice the players are doing under instruction.

Yea mate, I don't think he's dead set hopeless or anything, but he's a young fella who's down and really needs to go back and work on some things in the SANFL. Definitely moreso than Walker IMO.

Personally it doesnt bother me if Neil Craig does finish or not,but over the years Stephen Trigg has a man crush on him.

He certainly does, all you see when you look at Craig is Triggs shoes hanging out his ar$e!

Maybe Craig needs to be dropped to the SANFL for some form & get back Walker!! ;)
