Interesting to see who they go for. The Crows are very SA-centric and don't like outsiders so they'll probably go for another South Aussie.

Good news for us. Usually sides lift for the next month or so after a coach has quit with players feeling the need to prove themselves to the incoming coach. Hopefully they do win a few games and jump above us on the ladder so we can get a top 10 draft pick.

I reckon we should look at Craig as an addition to our coaching set-up.

Word is his sports science and tactics are ahead of most.

Yep added spice to the Showdown this week and playing us at AAMI in Round 23. Would hate to break our AAMI hoodoo since 1999 in 5 weeks.

Yes. God forbid we should actually win a couple of games to give us a bit of respite from the misery of the last two months. What was I thinking?

Reminds me of one of those grumpy, real old-school self made men types. Probably takes his belt to his kids.
