beaten again by the scum

makes me sick in the guts to be honest

As always daniel you are believing anything the media writes & speculates on 

let's be honest this "SportsNewsFirst" website hasn't got a great track record over the last few weeks with the nig news stories 

Having said nothing in this whole saga wouldn surprise me now.

And this is my final comment on this until official announcements are made. The RFC has conducted itself in an incredibly professional manner through this and haven't jumped at shadows like so many others

If Neil Craig decides to come to Tigerland great because he would offer a lot but if he choses not to then it is his loss. Whatever happens happens. 

And NO I dont know anymore than I did last week. Am I confident? About as confident as I was last week. What will be will be

Craig is a man of integrity he wouldn't go to a misappropriating cheating lying tanking stealing footy club like that. It would be against his principles.

We'll wait and see. He was a certainty to go to Melbourne 2 weeks ago.

Kim Hagdorn is hardly setting the world on fire. 

Again lets just wait and see.

It will start in January and be a long running series much like Days Of Our Lives and The Young and The Restless.

FORMER Adelaide coach Neil Craig looks set to be Carlton's football manager in a shock Blues move that forces Steven Icke out.

Icke, 55, is a shock sacking from the Blues to make way for Craig.

Craig could be confirmed as Blues football manager within days as the AFL industry follows latest grand final teams selection news.

I Think this Earl J Waggedorn or whatever his name is, is making up his own conclusion based on two completely separate and possibly unrelated facts.

I bought a loaf of bread and half a kilo of mince today but does it mean I'm making Hamburgers??

If it takes Neil Craig this long to decide its no wonder he got sacked.
Funny how in demand he is after the circumstances of his departure i.e getting sacked.

MELBOURNE remains in the race to secure the services of former Adelaide coach Neil Craig.

Carlton is also reportedly chasing the highly regarded ex-coach and now has a football manager position to fill following the departure of Steven Icke.

However, the Dees are not yet out of the picture.

Melbourne club chiefs remain hopeful a bid to land Craig to help guide new coach Mark Neeld in his first season in charge will be successful.

Brisbane has also made a pitch to Craig.

Craig split with Adelaide this year after seven and a half seasons with the Crows

Bickley: Neil, Tambling is getting cut to pieces out there, should we move him to the forward line?

3 weeks later...

Craig: Yes.

[WilliamPowell]

No mention of us at all in this article WP. Are we even in this race????

But yes as I've always said we've always been in the race

So be it

Obviously a week's a long time in Footy

Interesting concept integrity 

[Penelope]

oh eff no, we have been beaten by both Carlton and Melbourne. 

[Hellenic Tiger]

oh eff no, we have been beaten by both Carlton and Melbourne. 

Until it is confirmed on the news and I see him in a club polo I am not believing anything.
Until then.

At about 2:30 The Age will release an article confirming we have acquired his services.

[wayne]

They must be paying him a lot, they've had to hire bargain basement assistant coaches Rawlings and Royal so they could afford him. 

They're still a rabble.

FORMER Adelaide coach Neil Craig is about to put an end to speculation over his future, and will announce he'll work alongside new coach Mark Neeld at Melbourne.

Craig's vast experience as a coach and qualified sports scientist has made him hot property over the past two months.

After bowing to immense public pressure and resigning as coach of the Crows in July, the 55 year-old was courted by several clubs, including the Demons, Brisbane Lions, Richmond and Carlton, as well as the AFL and Cricket Australia.

He had most recently been linked to the Tigers in a high-performance role, but Melbourne revealed on Thursday Craig had agreed to join Neeld and his revamped coaching panel.
