Schwarz just asked about Craig's future to some Adelaide journo SEN have on today and the answer was "I don't really know. He's keeping a very low profile at the moment". So the media are still in the dark.

they maybe in the dark but that wont stop them guessing and passing it off as accurate

I still believe we are in with a real chance here, a bigger chance than a couple of other clubs  ;) ;D

From poster 'The Gun' on BF.....

A client (very respected richmond family member) of mine told me today that Neil Craig is a 70% chance of joining the tigers, When i asked him who the other 30% belonged to. Brisbane have offered him more dollars than we have.

The decideing factor is between Hardwick v Voss as he explained that Craig believed both lists to be about the same  ::)

The gun wouldn't make crap up based on other posts he has written imo
It's that simple Spud
"I discussed (it) with my three daughters, my wife and my 82-year-old mum, because it has really affected me … If those comments … were made about one of my daughters, it would make the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. I would not have liked it at all.”

Well at least its not melbourne
imo Brisbane's list isnt poop actually and they were quite competitive against the top teams, collingwood, geelong, west coast etc.
But they did drop some silly games like us  ::)
The anywhere, anytime Tigers.

Yep agreed, when you actually look at their list its surprisingly a lot better than I initially thought, some talent to work with thats for sure!!

I actually think adelaide is still a shot - if Burns gets hired by the crows I reckon he'll join him

Also why are Brsibane able to offer more $$$ than us?? - seriously we should not be getting outbid by opposition clubs when you have identified a key piece to the puzzle. If he's not looked at as a big key by our hierarchy and Brisbane are offering much more respobsibility then good luck to him and we cant complain about losing him.

Plenty of fish in the sea if he doesn't want to come to us.

What about Scott Watters?

Dermie raved over him on SEN.

Neil Craig is being interviewed by the Eagles this week after having discussions recently with Brisbane, Richmond and Melbourne.

Clearly Craig hasn't made a decision yet if he's still having meetings with various clubs.

Yeah Caro reporting that he's been offered a lucrative deal from the Weagles. He's certainly a man in demand.

sounds like my first gut instinct is correct - we dont have the capabilities to mix it with the big boys and entice high quality to join us

Correct. I was waiting in hope more than anything.
Like someone said earlier I think we should turn our attention to Waters.

He has some serious runs on the board

Currently a member of the Roupies, and employed by the great man Roup.
