The Age on the other hand is saying Neil Craig won't be at Melbourne if Neeld is coach

It's understood Neil Craig and Rodney Eade have been ruled out of being a senior assistant to Neeld, should the Demons opt to fill that role.

Tom Gossage 'suspects' or is suspected of being a complete bs artiste of Turner prize winning proportions.  Well that's case closed 99, I think we can close the thread.

No mention of Craig in the Neeld press conference.

Cameron Schwab was asked on SEN about Neil Craig and he avoided giving an answer. So make of that what you will.

Knowing our luck gents, he probably wont come to tigerland

Demons chief executive Cameron Schwab, meanwhile, refused to confirm or deny speculation the club was close to appointing ex-Adelaide Crows coach Neil Craig as a senior assistant for Neeld.

"Our attitude to that is the same as what it was to this: we'll make announcements when we're ready to make announcements," Schwab said.

"We understand there's going to be a lot of conjecture.

"What we've said to Mark is we'll give him the best opportunity to get the best people we can."

Sounds like we're firming unless he gets a better offer..

[Oiafi]

We'll offer a position that's right for us, others will offer positions that are right for them. We shouldn't offer something thats not right for us. If Craig ultimately chooses someone else's position then so be it. I'm over the idea we have to land the big name. We need to stay the course and do what's right for us.

[Dubstep Dookie]

Nothing like a good offer to 'firm up'

I know we want him, and the interviews have gone well.

Hopefully he chooses us as he will be awesome for our sports science department
