Clubs lobby for Craig's services

    Michelangelo Rucci
    From: The Advertiser
    September 23, 2011

NEIL Craig has more and more offers to consider as the deposed Crows coach prepares to stay in the AFL.

Carlton - having decided to keep coach Brett Ratten - is ready to outbid every AFL rival for Craig as a "senior assistant" or "coaching director".

The Blues are seeking to beat Brisbane and Victorian rivals Melbourne and Richmond to hiring Craig whose future has been subject to much conjecture in the past month.

First chased by the Lions, Craig then was said to be on the verge of a three-year deal to support Tigers coach Damien Hardwick.

At the weekend he emerged Melbourne's choice to support novice coach Mark Neeld. Brisbane coach Michael Voss was reportedly in Adelaide yesterday to enhance his sales pitch to Craig.

Craig refuses to make any public comment on his future until he chooses a club.

There are just two certainties now with Craig's role in Australian football next season - it will not be at the Crows, where he remains on staff, nor at Port Adelaide that is prepared to talk to Craig but is not having its calls answered.

New Crows coach Brenton Sanderson continued his meetings at West Lakes yesterday.

He will return to Melbourne today - and to consider if any Crows assistants will be moved from the coach's box to player development roles.

WP is usually pretty solid with these type of signals. Has been confident for a while now... If this is pulled off it's as much of a justification for the FTF as it is anything else. I'm happy to throw more cash at the club if these type of acquisitions keep taking place. I reckon that's how the media will run with it too if it all comes to fruition!

Have we spoken to the Mango Chutney today WP?

My  :whistle :whistle was a little bit of sarcasm on my part to all the negative "nellies" on here who over the last few weeks have said we were absolutely no chance. My line has always been we were a chance and I still beleive that and yes I've always had a feeling we were a big chance... if at the end of the day we don't get Craig then it wont be for the lack of trying or professionalism in how we have done this ...  ;)

Am I confident? Yes I am and slightly more so than I was earlier in the week

As for Chutney, yes we've spoken today and Chutney sadly had no further news which didn't make my day I can tell you
