I just wonder why we never really in the running. Perhaps they value him more and thus offered him a truck load. Who knows but we should've really gone after him.


Can tell you daniel "we have gone after him" as you put it just because it isn't splashed about in the HUN doesn't mean the club are sitting back doing nothing 

Source = Chutney  ;) :shh

If you want a good story then read the Hun, if you want the truth then read the Age.

Bingo  :thumbsup

Why have we been ruled out? Because it was reported in the HUN?

I responded to daniel's comment that we hadn't gone after him

I simply said we have and the fact that our meeting & discussions haven't been splashed around in the media doensn't mean the club hasn't been trying

And their bombs and their guns.
In your head, in your head, they are crying...

We are still being linked to one of the ones chasing Neil Craig ....


CRAIG AT FIRST DROP

Interesting suggestion from AFL Coaches Association boss Danny Frawley on radio this weekend.

He said former Adelaide coach Neil Craig would be a perfect fit as Australian cricket's new high performance manager.

Both Brisbane and Richmond are seen to be chasing him - as is the AFL - but the new role might just whet his appetite.

He is an elite leader of men and has a sports science background that includes premiership success at Adelaide.

Cricket would be crazy not to chase him.

Maybe some outside influence from Craig would be just what cricket needs.

Spud is getting paid to be exactly that a spud.

Footy media has saved alot of idiots from anonymity after they have failed in an official off field role.

Does Spud actually mean what he says or is someone holding up the cue cards for him? :help

Craig Cameron didn't mention any names but we do want an experienced coach to help Dimma next year. Neil Craig obviously one of the main targets for the role.

I'm not convinced that this 'director of coaching' position is a great idea.

I said weeks ago that the Club had gone after him and just because it wasn't getting played out the the papers didn't mean the club was working hard to get him ... p

Seems we might be a show after all

Will say it again just becuase things aren't front & square or being leaked to the media deosn't mean the Club isnt doing things

 ;) ;D ;) ;D
